Introducing New Offerings for Members|
Ceramic Tech Weekly:
Energy & Environment Are high-efficiency power lines in our future? Superconductor Technologies Inc. and the Los Alamos National Lab think so. STI announced that it and LANL have entered into a collaboration to apply STI's high-temperature superconductor materials expertise to LANL's research initiative to develop HTS coated conductors for power transmission lines. more »
Military We suspect that body armor designers at companies like CoorsTek and Ceradyne are already following up on a recent discovery by MIT engineers. more »
Materials & Innovations Kyocera has succeeded in creating a fine ceramic material that closely resembles 18-karat gold in both color and hardness. more »
Communications & Electronics t’s been hard to escape the news of the just-released 3G version of Apple’s iPhone, but an interesting debate about one feature of the gadget is starting to unfold: What the heck is the phone’s case made of? more »
Nanotechnology Nanotube improves ‘feel’ of microscopy Julie MacPherson, a research fellow at the University of Warwick (U.K.) explains the workings of an atomic force microscope and how the use of a nanotube-enabled AFM unlocks the structure and contours of materials on the nanoscale. more »
Biomaterials Bioengineers are hoping they may have solved some of the problems associated with the healing of joint injuries. Many individuals who sustain cartilage damage never fully recover because cartilage generally lacks the ability to heal and rebuild itself as other tissues do. more »
