PAJUNK, a leading global provider of medical devices, moved into its new headquarters, located in Alpharetta, GA, just north of Atlanta. The 50,000 square foot building houses new office space, a state-of-the-art clean room for manufacturing procedural trays, and a 30,000 square foot warehouse. The increased space is designed to keep up with growing demands while providing best-in-class customer service.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES® (GF®), the global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing, today announced it is expanding its global manufacturing footprint with the construction of a new fab on its Singapore campus. In partnership with the Singapore Economic Development Board and with co-investments from committed customers, GF’s more than US $4B (S$5B) investment will play an integral role in meeting the growing demand for the company’s industry-leading manufacturing technologies and services to enable companies worldwide to develop and scale their business.
Dallas-Fort Worth-based developer Cold Creek Solutions (“CCS”) has announced a second project in the state of Texas in San Antonio. The roughly 305,000 SF facility will provide storage for 45,000 pallets of frozen or refrigerated products upon completion. Unlike existing vintage facilities and other new builds in the region, this new project, designed by ARCO National Construction, will allow for a large-scale or multi-operator build-out with tremendous efficiencies.
Broadcom Inc. today announced it is extending its collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) in server storage offerings and will showcase them this week at HPE Discover. Broadcom will highlight benefits of the SFF-TA-1001 specification commonly known as the U.3 reference platform with a U.3 universal drive cage demonstration featuring Toshiba U.3-enabled NVMe™, SAS, and SATA drives.
Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials. Scientists create them by combining multiple elements from composite materials such as metal and dielectric. The result is an entirely new material with properties not found in nature.
Researchers at MIT, who last year designed a tiny computer chip tailored to help miniature drones navigate, have now shrunk their chip design even further, in both size and power consumption.
Aeolus, A.K.A. Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus, is an Earth observation satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space that is planned to launch in September 2018. The Aeolus satellite carries a laser for wind measurement. The information collected by the Aeolus Satellite is useful not only for weather forecasting but also to help us better understand atmospheric conditions and climate.
Chinese pollution has smothered China’s cities in recent decades. In response, the Chinese government has implemented measures to clean up its skies. But are those policies effective? Now an innovative study co-authored by an MIT scholar shows that one of China’s key antipollution laws is indeed working
Electronic textiles could allow a person to control household appliances or computers from a distance simply by touching a wristband or other item of clothing — something that could be particularly helpful for those with limited mobility. Now researchers, reporting in ACS Nano, have developed a new type of electronic textiles that is self-powered, highly sensitive and washable.
Rice scientists are making 3D laser-induced graphene (LIG) foam through an automated process that begins by turning the top layer of a polyimide (PI) sheet into graphene (top), stacking another layer on top (center) with ethylene glycol (EG) as a binder and then burning the top layer’s PI into graphene as well (bottom). The process is repeated as necessary. Courtesy of the Tour Group
Graphene electrodes could enable higher quality imaging of brain cell activity thanks to new research by a team of engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego. The researchers developed a technique, using platinum nanoparticles, to lower the impedance of graphene electrodes by 100 times while keeping them transparent.
Coral-shaped nanoparticles built by design using engineered peptoids. Scientists manipulate shapes while enhancing optical properties of tiny particles.Researchers have long worked to address a grand challenge in synthesis science: to design and synthesize bio-inspired functional materials that rival those found in biology.
