What sounds like fixings for a wizard’s potion — a dash of clay, a dab of fiber from crab shells, and a dollop of DNA — actually are the ingredients of promising “green” fire retardants invented by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Researchers at the University of Tehran used starch nanocatalysts to produce a coating for the protection and enrichment of food products in factories. Made of cheap starch, the coating is resistant to acidic media and can be used in the foodstuff and medical industries.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has scheduled an informal stakeholder meeting to gather information on how the agency can increase the effectiveness of its Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory Program.
Iranian researchers from Sharif University of Technology, in association with researchers from Laser and Optic Research Center, have produced a crack-free ceramic coating using nanotechnology.
The World Cup official match ball – the “Brazuca” – packs all the know-how and expertise gained in a nearly 30-year partnership between adidas and Bayer MaterialScience.
Nanotechnology is advancing tools likened to Star Trek's "tricorder" that perform on-the-spot chemical analysis for a range of applications including medical testing, explosives detection and food safety.
The PPG Industries Foundation has donated $10,000 to create two annual scholarships provided through the NACE International Foundation, a 501(c)(3) entity affiliated with NACE International, The Corrosion Society.
