Looking to Simulation Testing to Save Product Costs
(August 9, 2016) The recent trend in product testing is that it’s too costly and too time consuming and yet devices are expected to perform in harsher environments more and more quickly. According to Greg Fallon, Vice President of Simulation, Autodesk Product Development, “The methods of trial and error, physical prototyping, and commissioning are often too slow, too costly, and incapable o ... » -
Graphene Proves Able to Avoid Corrosion
Experts explain that “the surface of graphene, a one atom thick sheet of carbon, can be randomly decorated with oxygen to create graphene oxide; a form of graphene that could have a significant impact on the chemical, pharmaceutical and electronic industries. Applied as paint, it could provide an ultra-strong, non-corrosive coating for a wide range of industrial applications.” A team of res ... » -
Biodegradable Batteries to Power Edible Electronics
New research from Carnegie Mellon University has yielded biodegradable batteries that dissolve safety in the body. Made from a non-toxic combination of melanin from cuttlefish ink as the anode and manganese oxide as the cathode, the bio-batteries could power ingested or implanted electronic devices and replace conventional batteries, which must be contained inside bulky protective cases and of ... » -
