Hot melt adhesives (HMAs) are a major component in packaging, nonwovens, furniture, automotive, construction, bookbinding, and other applications. HMAs have multiple advantages over other adhesive formulations, such as faster drying and setting, cost-effectiveness, and low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Because HMAs have longer shelf li...

Battery manufacturers are under constant pressure to reduce battery costs and increase the energy density. To do so, they are experimenting with and commercializing batteries that have altered chemistries and producing compact battery packs. But the regular changes in battery chemistry and increased compactness may compromise safe operation. This i...

After a prolonged period of lower growth, the fuel cells market has gained significant momentum in the past three years, reflected by higher-than-forecast order volumes. The wider market for decentralized energy solutions continues to thrive as residential, commercial, and industrial customers look to achieve greater energy security and cost saving...

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles use cameras as an integral part of the perception sensor suite to gather vision-based information that helps systems make logical decisions through artificial intelligence-based sensing and perception algorithms that enable autonomous driving features. Automotive cameras are broad...

In the last decade, nanomedicine and nanotechnology have helped unlock revolutionary therapeutic potential that has positively impacted healthcare. Among the different nanotechnology-based innovations, lipid-based nanoparticles such as liposomes and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) show great promise across multiple therapies. Although the Food and Drug ...

Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) refer to unique and distinguishable digital assets stored on a distributed ledger/blockchain. Following the emergence of the bitcoin digital currency in early 2009, “colored coins” were coined by Yoni Assia in 2012; these were small parts of bitcoins that represented assets, primarily digital collectibles, and were the pr...

This research service focuses on new and disruptive technologies in the concentrated solar power (CSP) industry. Solar energy technology has witnessed consistent improvements in terms of energy and cost efficiency. While solar photovoltaics is currently the most widely adopted method of solar energy utilization, CSP technology has several features ...

Edge computing refers to moving data processing and computing as close to the data source/ point of origination as feasible, enabling near-real-time decisions and insights to drive better outcomes. The goal is to reduce latency while still ensuring high efficiency of networks, operations, service delivery, and user experience. Edge computing all...

Biological systems are complex and involve several biological reactions and biomolecules. Understanding the biological reactions and identifying the associated biomolecules will help in the development of accurate diagnostics and aid precision medicine. Yet the high number of molecules often requires multiple tests or bulky instruments. To overcome...
