| OMRON’s D6T Sensors are based on an infrared sensor which measures the surface temperature of objects without touching them, using a thermopile element which absorbs radiated energy from the target object. With suitable calibration, the temperature accuracy of the D6T sensor can reach up to ±0.2°C, giving a reliable identification of fever. |

| New test results have demonstrated that Saniconcentrate, an additive technology patented by Parx Materials, reduces COVID-19 virus on surfaces by up to 99% in 24 hours. Unlike other antimicrobial options, it achieves this without biocides, leaching or harmful side effects, creating a breakthrough option for applications like touch surfaces in public areas, medical devices or food contact applications. This proves Saniconcentrate will be a strong and safe tool in preventing the spread of viruses in the future. |

| The use of non-laboratory, patient-contact diagnostic and life-sustaining medical equipment continues to increase. Reasons include an ageing population, heightened care expectations among patients, and improvements in medical electronics technology which make such systems more practical. Such equipment needs protection against multiple types of electrical issues that can harm the equipment, hospital staff, and patients. Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explains. |

| The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to a revaluation of hygiene practices across all countries and sectors. New, more stringent sanitation procedures have been implemented to help minimise transmission. However, developments in materials science could play a role in stopping the spread of viruses even further. Here, Kim Sjödahl, Senior Vice President for Exel Composites, explains how composites enhanced with the anti-viral Protector solution could help to make our world a safer place. |

| An estimated 500,000 babies born around the world each year develop unnecessary brain damage that could be treated if caught in time - but monitoring these infants' delicate brains is extremely difficult. However, spotting these underlying causes at a critical, early stage, a new photonics device currently in development aims to reduce unnecessary disabilities by improving the instant, real time monitoring of newborn babies with harmless light particles. |
