Near infra-red sensing separates nylons for recycling

German company Trinamix has turned to near infra-red spectroscopy to create a mobile sensor that can, at the push of a button, distinguish the similar nylons PA6 and PA66 for recycling. The polymers have similar properties, are used interchangeably in numerous applications, and are virtually impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. At the same time, ...

Ask a mussel how to anchor wind turbines

The University of Nottingham is to investigate how sea mussels stick to wet and wave-hit rocks, aiming to use the knowledge to solve engineering problems. What is already known, is that they use collagen-rich sticky threads, ending in adhesive pads known as plaques. And that these plaques work on many different surfaces. The design principles ...
