In this video segment adapted from NOVA, hear physicist and energy expert Amory Lovins explain how to make more efficient cars by making them lighter and more aerodynamic. Explore how the use of carbon fiber can reduce weight without reducing size or durability, and learn about some manufacturing ch
Sportswear is exposed to extreme conditions: heat, freezing cold, sweat and mechanical stress. So why sport pants don't tear in extreme movements? Why swimsuits don't span while swimming? And what connects the stretch jeans with an industrial robot and the wheels of a skateboard? The answer to ever
We'll be tackling the risks of nanoparticles and other particles more fully when Risk Bites launches formally in November. But until then, here's a roller-coaster ride of a video on what might be important when thinking about the risks and benefits or nanoparticles - or any other particles for that

Regardless of whether the paper is produced from fresh or recycled fibers, it is as early as in stock preparation that we can have a decisive influence on the paper quality and runability of the paper machine. And our products achieve another big advantage: We reduce consumption of fibers, energy an
We want to advance the next generation of agriculture. We are driven to help farmers big and small meet the food, feed and fiber demands of a growing world, while preserving our planet’s limited natural resources for generations to come.
Woodfree paper is produced exclusively from virgin fibers. To improve for example surface smoothness, printability and whiteness of the paper a surface coating is applied. Graphic paper is produced worldwide on Voith paper machines. We are continually working on improved process technologies for pro
In this video from the ICT Center, learn about the index of refraction and Snell's law. Review a simple example of refraction, the speed of light in materials and the formula for calculating the index of refraction. Explore a table of the refractive indices of common media and materials used in fibe
