Electric Compression Press From Carver, Inc.
Carver's all electric E-Series compression press is designed for round-the-clock performance in a lab or on the production floor. The E-Series offers energy savings and is clean, quiet to operate and offers greater precision and reliability over hydraulically driven presses.
Especially suited to clean room and laboratory applications, the electric press is ideal for compression molding rubber/elastomers, gum silicones, various TPR's, thermosets, and plastics. Other uses include various bonding and laminating applications. The unique all electric power/drive system provides accurate ramping of clamp force from 1,000 lbs to 30 tons.

DNA construction kit self-assembles 3-D "crystals"
Until now researchers at Northwestern Univ. and Brookhaven National Lab have been limited to flat structures, made with 10 nm dia gold particles attached to DNA strands. By introducing flexible strands, the nano-engineeers have entered a new dimension. Continue...
Brain treatment sparks startling memory recovery
Canadian doctors who administered electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) to a 50-year-old diabetic with a sleep disorder were stunned by the man's suddenly vivid memories. The cause remains unclear, but testing will begin on Alzheimer patients. Continue...
