One of the great things about developing Sharc Matter is working with academic institutions in order to see how senior researchers can use our particles in new innovative applications: sharcmatter.com/academic-ins… @RoySocChem @NTUsg @MIT @GeorgiaTech @UCBerkeley

Encouraging to see the aero industry is still looking healthy, particularly for the UK. pesmedia.com/paris-air-show-… @PESMEDIAcom

More central funding is needed if we are to compete on the world stage in R & D: chemistryworld.com/news/buil…

One of the key areas we focus heavily on is ensuring our product meets hazardous materials regulation when shipped or transported. This is an interesting potted history of how moving hazmat has evolved over the years: dgm-usa-ny.com/hazardous-mat… @hazmatnews @ChemistryWorld

Our nanoparticles play a huge role in the development of BIPV (along with our partners @onyxsolar ), and as cities are encouraged to implement 'solar skins' this is becoming even more important in the fight against carbon emissions: pv-tech.org/news/embrace-sol…

An interesting study in understanding the performance of photovoltaic systems - and an area we are familiar with through our @SolarSharc program: sciencedaily.com/releases/20… @onyxsolar

We provide different sized nanoparticles for our stober sphere product set - find out more here: sharcmatter.com/data-sheets/

Biomedicine is a fascinating area and this is a great example of using the natural world to develop solutions that are super-hydrophobic and self cleaning: sciencedaily.com/releases/20… @ScienceDaily @WNanoscience

Interesting use of a coating technique thus reducing the aggregation of silica nanoparticles - something we are very familiar with...european-coatings.com/Raw-ma… @EC_Journal

More and more funding is going into the @3dprintindustry as this news from Carbon demonstrates - now worth $2.4bn - remarkable for a still-evolving technology. all3dp.com/4/carbon-raises-2… @All3DP

Storing renewable energy is still a challenge, but engineered electroactive microbes may have the answer: sciencedaily.com/releases/20… @ScienceDaily

This has fascinating potential applications (and some which may also freak people out....) nanowerk.com/spotlight/spoti… @Nanowerk

When is progress not actually progress? The UN is blaming governments' energy policies for missing renewable energy targets: renewableenergymagazine.com/…

Are non-aqueous solutions better than water based and what's the difference? Read more: sharcmatter.com/technical-ba… @EC_Journal @EC_Show @WNanoscience

There is still a lot of unease about autonomous vehicles but the technology is starting to demonstrate it's getting closer to potentially being our future. This is an interesting development that could change things: phys.org/news/2019-04-compac… @BritishNano

Our parent company, @OpusMatTech has worked with @GKNAero on other projects and this is positive news - the acceleration of industrial additive manufacturing around two of their initiatives, AIRLIFT and DAM. 3dprinting.com/news/gkn-airl…

With the G20 countries meeting this weekend the biggest question remains what is being actively done about climate change that can be implemented quickly? The Paris agreement is a step in the right direction but... @g20org

One of the industries that benefits from our technology is Additive Manufacturing - find out more here: sharcmatter.com/3d-media/ @3dprintindustry @3DPrintGirl @AdditiveManufac

As the race to be the next PM hots up, it's interesting that so far not one of the candidates has mentioned climate change. Following last week's announcement of 'zero emissions by 2050', will the new PM be willing to commit in the long run? @Climate_Action_ @ChemistryNews

Could nanotechnology save the planet? Look out for our latest blog - coming soon...
