Stanford-led team shows how to store data using 2D materials instead of silicon chips

A Stanford-led team has invented a way to store data by sliding atomically thin layers of metal over one another, an approach that could pack more data into less space than silicon chips, while also using less energy.

Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing Opens Large-Scale Injectable Fill/Finish Facility, Significantly Increasing Capacity

Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing (“GRAM”), an agile and modern parenteral contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), completed its major $60 million expansion project and recently took occupancy.

Coveris Grows Medical Segment With Significant Investments Towards Industry 4.0

In line with the increased focus on the medical market segment, Coveris is taking a gigantic leap forward to modernize their medical packaging production facilities.

Fully-Enclosed Modular Fill-Finish System created by Sexton Biotechnologies and BioSpherix

Sexton Biotechnologies has announced a new collaboration with BioSpherix Medical. As a tool and technologies partners of the Cell and Gene industry, Sexton and BioSpherix both recognize the need for cost-effective and flexible automation solutions during cell and gene therapy process development. While some upstream bioprocesses have been successfully automated, the final steps of downstream bioprocess, namely Fill-Finish, are often done manually with associated risks of contamination and user error.

Freudenberg Medical Expands Costa Rica Operations

Freudenberg Medical, a global contract design and manufacturing provider to the medical device industry, is expanding its manufacturing operations in Alajuela, Costa Rica. The expansion project adds 8,600 square feet to the existing facility which includes construction of an additional ISO Class 7 cleanroom for catheter manufacturing and assembly, molding, extrusion, and packaging, as well as added office space. New technology includes an advanced thermoplastic extrusion line which can produce tubing from 4 inches to 170 inches long with capacity of up to 1 million parts per month, plus additional injection molding machines.

Intel to Invest $3.5 Billion to Expand New Mexico Manufacturing Operations

Intel Corporation will invest $3.5 billion to equip its New Mexico operations for the manufacturing of advanced semiconductor packaging technologies, including Foveros, Intel’s breakthrough 3D packaging technology. The multiyear investment is expected to create at least 700 high-tech jobs and 1,000 construction jobs and support an additional 3,500 jobs in the state. Planning activities begin immediately, with construction expected to start in late 2021.

Controlled Environment Systems Acquires Western Environmental Corporation

Controlled Environment Systems, LLC, a market leader in thermal construction and design of special environments, such as cold storage facilities and pharmaceutical / biotech cleanrooms, today announced its acquisition of Western Environmental Corporation (WEC), a company that designs, engineers, installs and certifies cleanrooms, coordinate measuring machine (CMM) enclosures, metrology labs, and environmental chambers that support various mission critical applications.

Nano Decorations Remove Water Contaminants

A Recent Study Shows how Grains of Sediment and Nano Decorations Capture & Release Impurities in Water. When bacteria and viruses get into well water and make people sick, often the contamination comes after heavy rain or flooding. In 2000, more than 2,300 people in Walkerton, Ontario, got sick when, after unusually heavy rains. E. coli bacteria found their way to drinking water wells. Seven people died.

New Magnetic Sensors Prove Better Performance and Accuracy

Magnetic sensors play a key role in a variety of applications, such as speed and position sensing in the automotive industry or in biomedical applications. Within the framework of the Christian Doppler Laboratory “Advanced Magnetic Sensing and Materials” headed by Dieter Süss novel magnetic sensors have been realized that surpass conventional technologies in performance and accuracy in a cooperation between the University of Vienna, the Danube University Krems and Infineon AG.

Bolometers a Better Device for Measuring Electromagnetic Radiation

Bolometers, devices that monitor electromagnetic radiation through heating of an absorbing material, are used by astronomers and homeowners alike. But most such devices have limited bandwidth and must be operated at ultralow temperatures.

How to Clean a Biosafety Cabinet

10 Easy steps to cleaning a contaminated surface in the biosafety cabinet. The biosafety cabinet is a laboratory workspace that ensures safety and cleanliness for both the person operating in the cleanroom as well as the products or materials being handled in the cleanroom. The biosafety cabinet creates a safe environment for working with drugs, chemicals or hazardous materials.

Dialog Semiconductor Enters Growing Haptics Market

Dialog Semiconductor, a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, charging, and Bluetooth® low energy technology, today unveiled the DA7280, a new Haptic Driver Integrated Circuit (IC). The device is capable of driving both ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) and LRA (Linear Resonant Actuators) motors

Center for Neovation in Neocity

Intensely focused on the future, the Center for Neovation, formerly known as the Florida Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (FAMRC) was designed and constructed in 24 months.

Should I Use Reusable Cleanroom Garments?

It’s time to reconsider using reusable cleanroom garments. The continuous washing wearing and sterilization cycles of reusable cleanroom garments constantly degrade the properties of the fabric reducing their effectiveness.

Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility Expansion

ON Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, is excited to announce the expansion of their manufacturing facility in Rochester, New York. The site develops and manufactures image sensor devices for commercial, industrial and professional imaging applications, including machine vision, surveillance, traffic monitoring, medical and scientific imaging and photography.

New Superconductor Design allows for better control at the nanoscale

New Superconductor Design presents a better superconductor with geometric frustration. Superconductors contain tiny tornadoes of supercurrent, called vortex filaments, that create resistance when they move. This affects the way superconductors carry a current. A new superconductor design creates potential making them better for applications.
