When we choose what to buy, we usually look at the expiration date, brand, quality seals, ingredients, and price. But how do you know if the manufacturer is fully honest – or that the product was properly stored during shipping or while on the shelf?

One of the biggest advantages of ABS is its ability to be smoothed with acetone, an organic solvent. But how does the smoothing process work and how can you do it safely?
Electrochromic technology enables layers that can change color or become transparent using an electrical current. Compared to other color-changing technologies such as photochromism and thermochromism, electrochromic devices can be perfectly controlled to achieve the desired transparency at any time. While the technology has been discovered almost 50 years ago, only recently have commercial applications emerged, mainly in electrochromic glass for automotive rearview mirrors and airplane windows.

NanoXplore has been a pioneer in commercialising graphene. Many know it for its ambitious activities in breaking down the cost and availability barrier of graphene by massively scaling up a well-engineered production process. This is a prerequisite for market development but is not sufficient.
Computer simulation methods from NIST help speed up the search for carbon capture materials.
When you ask people to name a few cutting-edge technologies, they’ll probably mention artificial intelligence, quantum computing, autonomous vehicles, perhaps synthetic biology… but probably not welding.
