According to the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), industry accounts for approximately 42 per cent of the world's consumption of electricity, with around two-thirds of this used by electric motors. Given the need to reduce energy consumption, designers are starting to consider motors that are even more efficient than the units built to comply with current legislation.

Copper-67 has shown exceptional potential in the treatment of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma as well as bladder, colorectal, and ovarian cancers. However, it is a difficult isotope to produce and has not been consistently made available in the U.S. This has restricted its evaluation in cancer research and clinical trials.

In just a few days, we will be releasing our updated forecasts. While our numbers are still being finalized, I will talk about the main trends as we see them.

He said there has been a reorientation of China’s economy over the past year towards internal consumption, but added that infrastructure investment in China remains a major part

An international team of researchers at the University of Vienna unveiled the superconducting pairing mechanism in Calcium doped graphene using the ARPES method. Their results are published in the reputed journal Nature Communications.

Mining of the ocean floor, discussed since Jules Verne wrote 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, will soon become reality – and experts are calling for improved international “stewardship”.

Nautilus was racing to be the first in the world to mine the sea floor. Now UK Seabed Resources, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, could take the lead. It has a licence to explore an area of the Pacific sea floor in international waters for minerals.

and manufacturer of low cost, high quality alternatives to pure copper products, including refined copper products and superfine and magnet wire, as well as copper clad aluminum ("CCA") wire,

International mining giant Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) has sold its 80% share in NorthParkes copper mine in Australia to China Molybdenum (CMOC) for $820 million, the companies announced on Monday.

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal has initiated an expiry review of its Feb. 17 findings concerning the dumping of copper pipe fittings from the United States, South Korea and China and the subsidizing of copper pipe fittings from China.

KGHM International, a fully owned subsidiary of KGHM Polska Miedź, has signed an agreement with Vale Canada for the development of the Victoria project as well as the ore off-take to the mining company’s processing facilities in Sudbury, Canada.

While hybrid vehicles (which pair a conventional internal combustion engine with an electric motor) have become an established segment of the overall automotive market, the limited availability of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) – including plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) – has inhibited sales growth in a number of major markets.  Major automakers including Honda, Volkswagen, Hyundai, and others will be launching PEVs in a large number of countries over the next 2 years, however, adding to the list of available models, sparking increased consumer interest, and accelerating sales opportunities.

Copper ranks second to silver as an electrical conductor. The copper cladding of LEONI Histral® H16 ensures a good electrical conductivity whenever mechanical properties do not play a primary role.

High-frequency (HF) technology In HF technology the so-called „skin effect“ ensures that the current flow is restricted to a very thin layer situated on the surface of the conductor and that the overall resistance in the conductor is reduced. LEONI Histral® H16 has copper, which features good electrical, in the cladding only. The additional galvanic plating of the surface causes the skin effect to be optimized. Aeronautics and automotive technology Weight is of major importance for the construction of airplanes and automobiles. LEONI Histral® H16 is particularly suited for larger cross-sections here that can be employed for the transmission of power, where there is a significant weight reduction potential. Shielding braids LEONI Histral® H16 features a resistivity lending itself well to shielding braids because high coverage can be achieved at a comparatively low weight. The fact that aluminum suffers from the drawback of having a poor contact resistance is largely offset by the copper cladding. Heating applications The combination of a relatively good resistance value with a rather low mechanical resilience suggest that LEONI Histral® H16 may well be used in all kinds of heating applications that are not exposed to a permanently varying level of stress.

This book hopes to guide policy-makers, accelerate the implementation of new management tools and systems, and – most importantly – encourage people to ask themselves what the oceans are really worth to them and to the future of our planet.

Thus, it is hoped that MgB2 can not only replace metallic superconductors, but can be used under liquid-helium-free conditions, for example, at temperatures of 10–20 K that can easily be achieved using cryocooling systems.

In 2013, Thailand will see the start of a massive infrastructure investment programme designed to enhance international connectivity and competitiveness and boost regional development ahead of the ASEAN Economic Community to be launched by 2016. According to the Thai  government, 55 projects worth $76.27 billion are set to be executed by 2020, with $3.36 billion allocated for 2013.
