Industry Related News: United States – (April, 2019): A team of MIT research engineers has recently discovered a new polymer material that, through thermal material testing, shows that the polymer material conducts heat rather than trapping it as most other polymer materials do. Initial thermal tests indicate that the material is potentially a [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (March, 2019): SpaceX is reportedly performing heat shield thermal testing on its Starship spacecraft project, according to CEO Elon Musk. In a series of posts on Twitter this week, Musk unveiled a tantalizing glimpse at a SpaceX's thermal test of the hexagonal heat shield tiles that will [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (February, 2019): A research team at UCLA, along with collaborators at eight other research institutions, have created an extremely durable and light-weight ceramic material. Thermal testing performed on the material has shown that the material can withstand extreme temperature swings from -200°C to 900°C, even when the [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (January, 2019): A research team at the IABG thermal testing facility in Ottobrunn, Germany is preparing to perform a series of extreme thermal tests on the ESA's Solar Orbiter before its mission to orbit and scan the Sun. In order to protect the sensitive electronics and communications [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (December, 2018): Firefighters, and especially those who are first to enter a burning building, are typically thought of as being completely protected from the extreme heat they are exposed to on a regular basis. However, recent thermal testing studies completed on personal protective equipment (PPE) have revealed [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (November, 2018): A research team at UC Berkeley specializing in mechanical engineering has applied principals of thermal testing to determine the effects of extreme temperature fluctuation on lithium ion batteries — like those typically found in mobile devices and even electric vehicles. Their temperature testing study was [...]
Bellingham, MA: Security is important. There isn’t a single organization in business today that doesn’t realize the impact of that statement. Every day, we protect people, computers, homes, our country and our military members through various means of information security. Khoury Industries, a worldwide leader in temperature testing equipment for device characterization, thermal [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (October, 2018): Researchers in Materials Science at the University of Nottingham are reporting that they believe they have created a polymer material capable of regulating its own temperature with a thermal regulation mechanism similar to what is seen in biological systems. Dr. Mark Alston, the lead researcher [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (September, 2018): World Oil is reporting that in an effort to further promote safety in the drilling industry, one company has introduced a thermal testing protocol to simulate "real world conditions" to "test connections designed for shale plays." These connection components are "subjected to extreme temperatures of [...]
Industry Related News: United States – (Jul 23, 2018): Newselectronics.co.uk is reporting that "a new semiconductor material, defect-free boron arsenide, has been developed by UCLA engineers. According to the team, it is more effective at drawing and dissipating waste heat than any other known semiconductor or metal materials." Thermal testing has revealed that [...]
