Products of the Day  May 12, 2008   
Epoxy Adhesive Serviceable at Cryogenic Temperatures
EP29LPSPOptically clear with a mixed viscosity of 400 cps, the EP29LPSP epoxy adhesive/sealant for cryogenic applications from Master Bond can withstand temperatures as low as 4K as well as cryogenic shocks (i.e. room temperature down to liquid helium temperatures in a 5-10 minute time period). With a mix ratio of 100 to 65 by weight, the epoxy cures at room temperatures... ...continue

Printed Flexible Solar Cells Provide Embedded Renewable Power
With the cost of energy approaching the insane, new and improved methods of creating better and more easily deployable solar power cells are very welcome. This advance in manufacture by Konarka Technologies promises to deliver cheaper power cells in large quantities. I hope they can commercialize the technology to the point we can use solar as a tricke-charge backup in every powered application exposed to the sun. ...continue
