November 05, 2015Source: ASM International Movies such as 1987's Predator, in which an alien who sees in the infrared hunts down Arnold Schwarzenegger and his team, introduced a generation of sci-fi fans to thermal imaging.
Since then, heat-sensing devices have found many real-word applications but have remained relatively expensive and rigid. But a new development featuring graphene could lead to a flexible, transparent, and low-cost infrared vision system. The concept of humans—or aliens—having the power to see in the infrared to help fight enemies in the dark has been around for decades. Technology has allowed real-life military, police, firefighters, and others to do their jobs successfully at night and in smoky conditions. Researchers integrated graphene with silicon microelectromechanical systems (known as MEMS) to make their device.

The standard was developed and is kept up-to-date by bluesign technologies® AG. bluesign® also offers support services to the textile industry for implementation of the standard and thus has a double role. bluesign technologies® AG’s goal is that products used in the fabrication and finishing of natural and synthetic fibres be solely those which have met the strictest criteria worldwide and whose producers have subsequently been audited by bluesign. bluesign technologies AG screens entire production processes and issues recommendations for fully equivalent but harmless ingredients as an alternative. The standard is built around five principles: resource productivity, consumer safety, air emission, water emission and occupational health and safety. Several brochures can be found here. Governance Scope Market Acceptance Criteria. Natural fibers are our future ! Biobased composites today! Ecolect: Creating A Sustainable Materials Database and Community.
Ecolect is a new online sustainable materials database and community created "to be the largest, freely accessible sustainable materials library in the world.
" The site was created to save designers time and money by answering these questions: where do I find sustainable materials, what makes them sustainable, and who else is using them and how. Though just under way, the database is filling up with sustainable materials regular TreeHugger readers will recognize, like AMF Safecoat paint, biobased insulation and Globus cork flooring. Since it's been created as a virtual two-way street, if you have a favorite sustainable material, they want to hear about it; drop them a line and you might see it up on the site a short time later. Created by Rhode Island School of Design graduates, Matt Grigsby and Joe Gebbia, Ecolect has headquarters in San Francisco and Providence, Rhode Island, and they'll be celebrating their launch this Thursday, October 18, with a party in the city by the Bay.
