New structural variant of carbon made of pentagons
06 February, 2015Researchers from the US and China have discovered a structural variant of carbon called 'penta-graphene' - a very thin sheet of pure carbon that resembles the pentagonal pattern of the tiles which pave the streets of Cairo.
Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Plus for materials analysis
04 February, 2015The Micromeritics ASAP 2020 Plus integrates a variety of automated gas sorption techniques into a single, research-grade, tabletop instrument. The system is designed to provide high-quality surface area, porosity and chemisorption data to materials analysis laboratories.
Micromeritics Corepyc custom instrument for drill core analysis
19 November, 2014Micromeritics has designed a gas displacement pycnometer for users who want to measure the pore volume of drilling cores without having to break off small pieces that fit into a standard sample chamber. The AccuPyc II 1340 was custom-engineered with a large sample chamber (a volume of approximately 2000 cm3) to accommodate a 95 mm diameter core of up to 278 mm in length, thus improving sampling statistics by eliminating the need to run multiple analyses.

28 November, 2013Food Technology Corporation's TMS-Pilot texture analyser is a portable, mid-range system designed for quick and easy food texture testing. The product can perform basic texture testing of most food products, including baked goods, confectionery items, dairy products, fruits, meats, vegetables and snacks.
Superthin spider silk could create sticky films and sensors
11 October, 2013The brown recluse spider (Loxosceles recluse) produces superthin ribbons of silk, as opposed to the round fibres typically spun by spiders. In a world first, scientists have examined the silk and found that its properties may be suitable for a variety of applications.
Plastic bags turned into high-tech nanomaterials
01 October, 2013Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a process for turning plastic bags into high-tech and expensive nanomaterials called carbon nanotube membranes. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are tiny cylinders of carbon atoms, one nanometre in diameter, and are the strongest and stiffest materials ever discovered.
Researchers create "sticky tape for water droplets"
18 September, 2013Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new material which uses raspberry particles (so called because of their appearance) to trap tiny water droplets and prevent them from rolling off surfaces.
Micromeritics TriStar II Plus Surface Area and Porosity System
14 June, 2013The Micromeritics TriStar II Plus is a fully automated, three-station surface area and porosity analyser intended for laboratories that require the combination of high throughput and high-quality data.
