May 30, 2020 A Falcon 9 rocket built by SpaceX was successfully launched by NASA  at 3:22 p.m. eastern time on May 30, 2020 in Florida from the same Kennedy Space Center launch pad used to send Apollo crews to the moon a half-century ago.  This historic launch marks a new era in using a commercially built spacecraft and puts the United States back in the business of launching astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade. The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft carried by a Falcon 9 rocket is headed to the International Space Station on...

Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr have created a method to economically produce corundum ceramic nanoparticles, one that centers around a key piece of materials science laboratory equipment: the ball mill.  Corundum (also known as alpha-alumina) ceramic nanoparticles are useful in a wide variety of applications because of their hardness, which is comparable to diamond’s, and their high resistance to both heat and chemicals.  Based on these properties, corundum is used for cutting tools, for ceramic implants in biological prostheses, and for general catalysis.  Corundum’s nanoparticle form could even become an essential ingredient in the...

MSE Supplies is excited to announce the new compact ball mills that fit in a glove box, and the jar mill designs with OSHA safety compliance.  Right now, your lab will have significant savings when adding these new equipment for powder processing down to sub-micron sizes.    Ball milling in a glove box will enable the processing of novel materials under controlled atmospheres; Jar mills with a safety guard and door interlock system give you the peace of mind when handling milling jars on the rollers; Fully programmable speed and turning direction control enables customized and automated ball milling MSE PRO™ Compact...

Smart glass or switchable glass (also smart windows or switchable windows in those applications) is glass or glazing whose light transmission properties are altered when voltage, light or heat is applied. Generally, the glass changes from translucent to transparent, changing from blocking some (or all) wavelengths of light to letting light pass through. MSE Supplies is a leading supplier of high quality materials and equipment for advanced materials research and manufacturing. Smart glass technologies include electrochromic, photochromic, thermochromic, suspended particle, micro-blind and liquid crystal devices. When installed in the envelope of buildings, smart glass creates climate adaptive building shells, with the ability...

MSE Supplies provides a broad range of products for ball milling of powders.  http://www.msesupplies.com/collections/powder-processing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The effect of grinding media performance on milling and operational behavior by U. Weber* and D. Langlois* Abstract: The effect of grinding media performance on milling and operational behavior was demonstrated under different selected conditions of calcium carbonate slurry milling. A variety of grinding media materials and bead sizes, along with two different stirrer tip speeds, were used in the grinding process to generate a particle size reduction of the calcium carbonate (CaCO3). To determine the optimum milling parameters the collected test data were used...
