Many scientists pursue better batteries with new chemistries, such as lithium-sulfur. Or new structures, such as solid-state batteries. What few may have thought about is that building technics could ...

The University of Birmingham has found a new reason why ball-milling, a technique over 100 years old, makes high-capacity Li-ion electrode materials. The use of ball milling has been a huge area of ...

The G control eliminates the need for multiple EDM electrodes. The wear rate of a graphite electrode increases during the sinker EDM finishing process, so shops often rough out a workpiece cavity on a ...

Thermoformed films are backmolded in the tool to produce the interior automotive switches in the foreground.Jatco produces dozens of graphite electrodes for each automotive mold it machines, making ...

Kennametal’s KCU25B tooling proved durable enough for turn-peeling a lengthy austenitic stainless steel 1.4435 rotor while reducing cycle times.

There are a number of methods of making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes. Fullerenes were first observed after vaporizing graphite with a short-pulse, high-power laser, however this was not a ...
