Twenty milligrams, about the weight of a feather. Spiber's founders had only made this much spider silk protein in three months in 2008. For their first year operating, it was an inconspicuous amount and very humble beginnings. Since then, spider silk protein startups have managed to almost double production on average every six months since 2008. These startups are closing in on about eight tons of production…

Smart technologies to meet warehouse demands

In California, Origin Materials and Sustainea Bioglycols, a joint venture between Braskem and Sojitz Corporation, announced a strategic partnership with the aim of advanceding biobased materials produced using Origin's technology platform and Sustainea's biobased glycol products and market expertise. As part of the partnership, Sustainea signed two multi-year capacity reservation agreements to purchase renewable…

As Tesla and others make more electric vehicles, JB Straubel bets on a Nevada factory designed to produce the materials needed to make rechargeable battery cells.

New research by the University of Liverpool could signal a step change in the quest to design the new materials that are needed to meet the challenge of net zero and a sustainable future.

In California, Origin Materials, Inc. and Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the mass production of bio-based materials to explore initiatives related to the rapid commercialization of low-carbon, bio-based materials. Initiatives include evaluating the use of existing Indorama Ventures' units in the United States with some modification to commercially produce […]

If you're a fan of arts and crafts, you're likely familiar with the messy, sticky, frustration-inducing nature of liquid glues. But researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces now have a brand-new way to weld squishy stuff together without the need for glue at all. They've demonstrated a universal, "electroadhesion" technique that can adhere soft materials to each other just by running electricity…

Look inside the labs of three MIT researchers whose work could change how engineers design and build. Two are inventing new materials, and one is developing ways to update the look of materials so they can be refreshed instead of replaced. Engineering may never be the same.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) Central Laser Facility (CLF) is celebrating the publication of the first paper from its newly upgraded Artemis lab space.

An ecological protective coating, stronger yet less expensive than potentially dangerous beryllium shielding, is baked of alternating layers of sugar and silica. The simple result, which mimics the structure of a seashell, should lower costs for pulsed power machines and space satellites.

Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) created a new method for magnetically programming materials to make cubes that are very picky about who they connect with, enabling more scalable self-assembly.

A software bill of materials (SBOM) is an inventory of all constituent components and software dependencies involved in the development and delivery of an application.
