Atmospheric Pollutants: Nature as Inspiration

Intercept Technology™ -- Reactive Barrier Protection That Neutralizes Atmospheric Pollutants

Contending with atmospheric pollutants is something that most entities must sustain, no matter how big or small the operation. The US military is one of the biggest innovators in the world, listing its R&D budget at over $50 billion a year. Those innovators constantly look to innovate, it is in their DNA, but sometimes their stumbling block is finding inspiration.

The combination of recent innovations in robotics, artificial intelligence, materials, additive manufacturing, and nanoenergetics is changing our strategic dominance.

Celebrating Innovation: The List

Intercept Technology™ -- Packaging Innovation: Reactive Barrier Protection Against ESD, Tarnish, Rust, Corrosion, and Degradation

The end of the year is always marked by all sorts of lists and countdowns. I enjoy the symbolism of ending one chapter and beginning of another. As I see it, there is no more natural time than now to do this. My favorite list this year is PhysicsWorld.com’s Physics Breakthroughs of 2014. "Breakthroughs" in this case being defined as, "a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development" in accordance to the Oxford English Dictionary. For the purpose of our post, we see it as pure innovation.

Corrosion Materials: The Power of Surface Area

Intercept Technology™ -- Reactive Barrier Protection Against ESD, Tarnish, Rust, Corrosion, and Degradation

Coral is a vital part of the underwater ecosystem but the temperature of the sea has been affecting coral. Specifically, killing (an estimated) 25% of it, bleaching large swaths of it, and making it difficult for new natural coral to grow.
