Magnesium is a lightweight metal of growing importance in automotive alloys, aerospace components and emerging battery technologies. Industrial production relies chiefly on the Pidgeon process, in ...

A new method for ammonia synthesis has demonstrated a 5.6-fold increase in yield, offering a promising alternative to traditional, carbon-intensive production processes. The research is published ...

Researchers have developed a pioneering production method for heterostructure devices, based on 2D materials such as graphene. Researchers at the University of Exeter have developed a pioneering ...

What’s more sustainable? Using acres of land, water and energy to grow plants that produce minuscule quantities of natural sweeteners; or making them via a fermentation process using a microbe that’s ...

Researcher Richard Olsson, seen here in the lab holding two sources of graphene, a spool of carbon fiber and a piece of mined graphite. Researchers in Sweden report a green alternative to reduce ...

Styrene, the chemical used to make polymers and resins used in plastic, disposable containers, latex, synthetic rubber, insulation and more, is ubiquitous to everyday life. Given its prevalence and ...

The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) observe 9 June ...

What methods can be applied to verify PCB functionality and safety? Which are suitable for mass production and for prototypes? What parameters are checked in each test? How to check a PCB without ...

The process involves converting the feedstock into a gas, which is then converted into liquid hydrocarbons using a series of chemical reactions. The advantages of the FT process are that it can use a ...

Typically, a well will produce at its highest production rate at the beginning of the production cycle; and then production will wane. In an effort to increase production from both oil and natural gas ...

I think most would agree that the Toyota Production System (TPS) has revolutionized business around the world, particularly manufacturing. What makes the TPS so revolutionary? I worked in management ...
