• Loughborough academic to model ‘living’ micro-machines 14th October 2019
  A researcher at Loughborough University has been awarded over £1.25m by the European Research Council to investigate “living” micro-machines that assemble themselves. The five-year project will combine two areas, colloidal self-assembly and active liquids, using computational simulations on Loughborough’s high-performance computers. Dr Tyler Shendruk is a member of the interdisciplinary centre for mathematical modelling in […]
• Opinion: creating composite car parts 14th October 2019
  Jari Sopanen, Regional Manager at leading composites manufacturer Exel composites explains how composite materials can be used to build safer, lighter vehicles. Thermoset composites are formed using glass, carbon, or aramid fibers, which are then combined with resins such as polyesters, vinyl esters, epoxies, or phenolic resins. These composites are used in various industries, but […]
