Carbon nanomaterial developer Canatu (Vantaa, Finland) has started mass-production of a new, transparent 3D formable touch sensor. Canatu’s touch sensors are fitted into a centre stack made by Methode Electronics, Inc, a global developer of custom engineered and application specific products and solutions. The new centre stack solution is integrated in an iconic luxury SUV unveiled in September 2022.
Dielectric mirrors, also referred to as Bragg mirrors, reflect light nearly completely. Hence, they are suited for various applications, such as camera systems and sensor systems for microscopy and medical technologies. So far, such mirrors have been produced by complex processes in expensive vacuum devices. Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) now are the first to print Bragg mirrors of high quality with inkjet printers. This may pave the way towards the digital manufacture of customized mirrors. Research results are published in Advanced Materials.
DuPont (Wilmington, Delaware) recently announced the launch of a new brand, Micromax, that will encompass the products formerly under the Microcircuit and Component Materials brand. Micromax products are used in a wide variety of electronics applications—from automotive, passive components, and 5G communications to healthcare and consumer goods.
