Composites Lighten RVs, Offer More Durability, Too
RVs and caravans far outweigh standard automobiles. However, that weight can also create lots of challenges in moving down the highway. Lightening that load in creative ways ensures a smoother ride without compromising the integrity of the vehicle. One of the best solutions to reducing weight is through the use of composites and MVP equipment….
Composite Materials Keep Boats Riding High
Why Use Composites? Materials for the marine industry need to be versatile, durable, strong, and relatively light. This makes composite materials—fibers reinforced with resin—an ideal choice for marine vessel and part construction. Among the many advantages to using this type of material, composites are corrosion-resistant, customizable, and require minimal maintenance while being easy to repair….
World Metrology Day, 2018
May 20, 2018, is World Metrology Day. Metrology, the science of measurement, impacts our everyday lives in many ways: some are subtle, and others are quite significant. For example, metrology plays a central role in scientific discovery, as well as manufacturing and trade; it’s also critical in improving our quality of life and protecting our…
Watch: Improving Photosynthesis to Improve Crop Yields
Beck’s Hybrids has announced a partnership with ag biotech company Benson Hill Biosystems. They will be working to improve photosynthesis in corn. Yield10 Bioscience has also announced a partnership with Monsanto to improve photosynthesis in soybeans. Both partnerships will attempt to improve carbon fixing in each of their target organism. That means the plants will…
Watch: Colorado State University Chemists Develop Recyclable Plastic
Four Colorado State University chemists have developed a new polymer that can be used to make plastic. This new polymer is lightweight, heat-resistant, strong, and durable, meaning it has all the features that make plastics valuable and desirable. What’s amazing about this new polymer is that it can be broken down to its starting monomers…
