Engineers at Brigham Young University have now created a smartfoam using nickel nano-particles which replaces the standard foam inside helmets and pads to more accurately measure the impact energy and velocity of hits taken by players within 90% accuracy. 

The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded AVAPCO (a company of American Process, Inc.), BYOGY Renewables, and Petron Scientech $3.7 million dollars this month to fund phase one of the ABBA project which will “co-produce full replacement renewable jet fuel, gasoline, diesel and Bioplus® nanocellulose from woody biomass”.

The Toolbox provides useful tools such as test methods, datasets, models, guidance documents, decision trees, etc., which are available to regulators and others in context of REACH.

Yesterday was National Nano Technology Day 2017. The Vireo Advisors team celebrated in different ways!

Recent research conducted by Fu and colleagues (2017) has shown increased hydration and improvements of flexural strength of cement pastes when cellulose nanocrystals are included as an additive.
