Goodfellow, which is owned by Battery Ventures, has purchased microfabrication specialist Potomac Photonics in a strategic deal that will help it increase its presence in the rapidly expanding medical device sector and microfluidics.
Researchers, led by Professor Angelo Maligno, Research Chair in Composite Materials at the University’s Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering, have been awarded £150,000 by the UK Space Agency as part of the final round of its Enabling Technologies Programme, which is supporting the UK’s space capabilities.
Metals are used in green, renewable energy technology in many different capacities to reduce the amount of pollution and waste created by human activity. Find out more with Goodfellow's scientific blogs.
Alloys are mixtures of two or more elements in which at least one is a metal. Metal alloys are widely used in engineering because they can have a wide range of properties beyond those offered by the base metals they contain. Alloys used in engineering may be chosen for their hardness, electrical conductivity, strength, and corrosion resistance.
From the delicate porcelain teacup to the spark plugs in a car, ceramic materials are ubiquitous yet often under-appreciated. The history of ceramics stretches back millennia, playing a crucial role in the development of human civilization.
Metals and metal alloys play an important role in the development of medical implants and devices. Different metals have properties that make them suited for different purposes, like strength, thermal conductivity, and biocompatibility. Choosing the right material for the device in question ensures that it will be both functional and safe for the patient.
Metallurgy is the material science and technology of metals and alloys. Learn more about materials science with Goodfellow's blogs.
Avionics are electronic systems used on aircraft, including those that support navigation, fuel management, and communication as well as flight data recorders and autopilot systems.
