The theory of using agricultural pheromones to control pests is compelling, but the real proof of their effectiveness lies in their successful implementation in crop fields around the world. From protecting vineyards in California to citrus groves in Spain, pheromones are being used to manage a wide range of pests, proving their value as a viable and sustainable pest management tool....

When we think of armor materials, our minds immediately go to bulletproof vests and military vehicles. However, the advanced materials developed for these applications have found their way into a surprising number of non-traditional uses, transforming industries from sports to transportation. The lessons learned in creating lightweight, strong, and impact-resistant materials are being...

The process of manufacturing conductive silicone rubber is a carefully controlled operation that combines polymer chemistry with advanced material processing techniques. The goal is to produce a material that is not only electrically conductive but also maintains the excellent physical properties of silicone, such as its flexibility and durability. The process can be broken down into...

The unique properties of Electroactive Polymers (EAPs) extend beyond just actuation; they are also excellent sensors. This dual capability of being both a muscle and a nerve makes them a cornerstone of a new generation of smart materials that can not only move but also feel. When an EAP deforms under an external force, its electrical properties change, and this change can be measured to...
