In a review article published in the March 2020 issue of Nature Nanotechnology, nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego offer a research roadmap that includes four challenges that need to be addressed in order to advance a promising class of batteries–all-solid-state batteries–to commercialization. This article summarizes the team’s work to tackle these challenges over the past three years, which have been reported in several peer-reviewed articles published in various journals.
Finding Wafers Just Got Much Easier
Inseto launches comprehensive online store for selecting and ordering silicon, silica, glass, coated and SOI wafers.
Pfeiffer Vacuum Introduces Extremely Quiet, Dry Pumps
The HiScroll models from Pfeiffer Vacuum’s new range of scroll pumps are oil-free, hermetically sealed vacuum pumps with high nominal pumping speeds of 6 to 20 m³/h. The new pumps are characterized by their compact design and quiet, low-vibration operation (<47 dB[A], and <42 dB[A] in stand-by mode).
The Need for IoT Security At the Chip Level
A critical element to successful IoT security chips is public key infrastructure (PKI). All IoT devices with these chips require a strong identity, which will then be used for secure authentication.
MISUMI to Relocate North American HQ to Schaumburg Corporate Center

Water-Free Way to Make MXenes Could Mean New Uses for the Promising Nanomaterials
Ten years after producing the first sample of the now widely studied family of nanomaterials, called MXenes, Drexel University researchers have discovered a different way to make the atom-thin material that presents a number of new opportunities for using it. The new discovery removes water from the MXene-making process, which means the materials can be used in applications in which water is a contaminant or hampers performance, such as battery electrodes and next-generation solar cells.
