流變學，原來這麼簡單！
我喜歡在廚房裡做實驗，尤其是烘焙和製作甜點。為了慶祝圓周率日，讓我們把科學和實驗帶進廚房，用餡餅麵團和餡料……還有流變儀。
透過同時進行流變學和阻抗測量來評估電池漿料
鋰離子電池 (LIB) 由多種活性及非活性材料組成，並經多步驟工藝製造而成。材料選擇和製程條件會極大地影響電池的最終性能。
利用流變學研究改進配方性能
從配方開發到商業配方的進展，皆取決於最終藥物的劑量強度、內在穩定性和蛋白質自結合程度。1 這是因為該藥物的研發已進入最後階段。
Characterization Considerations when Sourcing PCR
Against the backdrop of a plastic waste crisis, the global demand for plastic is set to quadruple by 2060. This has driven a shift toward sustainability and away from linear use models of plastic production. Post-consumer resin (PCR) has emerged as a key player in circular economy initiatives, though ensuring the quality and performance of PCR requires several characterization considerations.
印刷電路板 (PCB) 的熱分析
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) form the backbone of virtually all electronic applications. Enhancing their performance and reliability is paramount for custom PCB projects, where smaller footprints and improved maintainability lead to enhanced functionality.
How to Assess Binding in Drug Discovery
The most popular tool used to characterize binding in the late-discovery phase of drug development is isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). ITC is a high-resolution method for complete characterization of the basic chemical details of a binding interaction. The calorimeters accomplish this by measuring the heat that is released or absorbed when molecules interact with each other.
生物製藥藥物開發工作流程和技術
Drug development is a long and complex process that starts with discovery and, if successful, ends with government approval for marketing. Each step in the drug development process, outlined below, has specific goals with the aim of down-selecting appropriate hits and candidates to an approved drug substance.
微量熱法的歷史
在整個 18 世紀，許多科學家都對熱的本質提出了質疑。艾薩克·牛頓 (Isaac Newton) 認為熱能是透過粒子的震動傳遞的，而勞勃·虎克 (Robert Hooke) 則認為熱能是人體各部位運動而產生的一種特性1。然而，在歷史上第一個眾所周知對熱量進行測量的貢獻者是蘇格蘭醫生和化學家約瑟夫·布拉克 (Joseph Black)1。1761 年，他透過精確的測量發現，對達熔點的冰或達沸點的水施加熱量並不會導致溫度變化1。這個觀察結果使他成為第一個區分溫度和熱量的科學家，標誌了熱力學的開端。
複合材料的材料分析
We expect a lot from our composites: rocket materials need to endure the heat of takeoff, wind turbines must withstand high wind gusts, and sneakers are expected to be durable and supportive on long runs. How do experts develop composites tailored to such specific uses and verify their properties?
如何利用流變學改良電池電極漿料
從輕薄的筆記型電腦到長途電動汽車，無數應用都需要提高鋰電池的能量密度和性能。由於電池電極直接影響電池的能量密度和性能，因此電池研究人員對電極及其組成特別感興趣，希望將技術推向更高境界。電池漿料加工處理也是製程中的關鍵步驟，是提升效率並降低成本的重大機會。
沙堡的科學
夏日的藍天與和煦的天氣召喚我們來到海灘嬉戲。畢竟，夏天就是享受陽光、衝浪及沙灘的代名詞。既然來到沙灘，怎麼能不堆沙堡呢？雖然潮起的浪花是所有沙堡建造者的敵人，但浩瀚的大海也是他們最強大的盟友。由於潮濕的沙可以黏在一起，才能如魔法般打造壯觀城堡。乾燥的細沙摸起來很舒服，但無法用來蓋沙堡，絕大部分的原因是內聚力。進行快速測試發現，潮濕和乾燥沙子的內聚力差了十倍！
动力驱动
Over the past decade, battery research, development, and quality control have adopted in-situ and in-operando isothermal microcalorimetry (IMC) as the leading method to evaluate heat flow during lithium-ion battery cycling. While cycling a cell to failure can take many months, emerging diagnostic tests are able to predict long-term behavior in a matter of weeks.
