Ультразвук просуває фазозмінні матеріали для зберігання енергії
, Катрін ХілшерResearchers are increasingly using high-power ultrasonic processing (sonication) to improve the performance of phase-change materials (PCMs) used in thermal energy storage. By generating intense cavitation and micro-mixing, ultrasound enables the production of stable PCM dispersions, nano-enhanced PCMs, and nanoencapsulated materials with superior heat transfer and long-term stability. Studies show that sonication produces more homogeneous mixtures and smaller particle aggregates compared to conventional mixing methods, leading to more reliable thermal behavior and improved energy storage performance.
Advanced ultrasonic processors, such as those developed by Hielscher Ultrasonics, provide precise control over cavitation intensity and processing parameters, making them powerful tools for PCM research and scalable industrial production. The technology is already being used to disperse nanoparticles, create paraffin wax emulsions, and fabricate micro- and nano-encapsulated PCMs, helping researchers develop next-generation materials for building climate control, renewable energy storage, electronics cooling, and battery thermal management.

, Катрін ХілшерWhen surface cleanliness becomes a decisive factor in modern wire and cable production, ultrasonic inline cleaning offers a powerful solution. Even microscopic residues such as drawing oils, abrasion particles, or oxide layers can compromise downstream processes like electroplating, coating, welding, or soldering. Ultrasonically assisted systems remove these contaminants efficiently through acoustic cavitation – contact-free, reproducible, and fully integrated into high-speed production lines. Modular solutions such as the Hielscher USCM700 demonstrate how advanced filtration, scalable ultrasonic power, and compact inline design can enhance process stability, reduce chemical consumption, and ensure consistently high surface quality in demanding industrial applications.

Відходи пластику та гуми для міцнішого та довговічнішого асфальту
, Катрін ХілшерHigh-intensity ultrasonic mixing is emerging as a breakthrough method for turning waste plastic and crumb rubber into high-performance asphalt. Studies show recycled polymers like HDPE, LDPE, and PET can improve rutting resistance, moisture stability, and durability – but only when they are uniformly dispersed in bitumen. Hielscher Ultrasonics enables this with industrial-grade sonicators and a linearly scalable processing approach, allowing asphalt producers to move from lab trials to continuous inline production without changing the core mixing technology. This ultrasonic binder modification method supports stronger roads while helping reduce plastic pollution at scale.

Ліпосомальний семаглютид може стати наступним великим стрибком у доставці ліків GLP-1
, Катрін ХілшерSemaglutide and other GLP-1 peptides are among the most important modern therapeutics, but formulation scientists still face a fundamental barrier: peptide drugs are difficult to protect and deliver, especially by the oral route. Even approved oral semaglutide products show bioavailability below 1%, requiring high doses and complex formulation strategies.
A growing technical focus in pharmaceutical development is liposomal encapsulation combined with high-intensity ultrasonic processing. Liposomes can stabilize GLP-1 peptides and enable nano-scale carrier systems, while ultrasound provides reproducible nano-sizing and a scalable manufacturing pathway. Semaglutide is particularly compatible with lipid carriers because studies indicate it can associate with vesicle membranes via its lipid tail, supporting efficient loading into lipid bilayers.
Ультразвукова обробка забезпечує новий рівень контролю в самозбірці нанокристалів целюлози
, Катрін ХілшерSonication holda the key to unlocking more reliable, scalable production of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) materials. A new study reveals that sonication doesn’t just break up CNC clusters – it actively reshapes how these sustainable nanomaterials self-assemble into cholesteric liquid crystal structures responsible for brilliant structural color. By observing CNC ordering inside tiny evaporating droplets, researchers found that ultrasound can delay gelation, shift kinetic arrest, and tune the helical pitch evolution with remarkable precision. The findings highlight sonication as an industrially relevant processing lever for programming reproducible CNC-based photonic coatings and advanced bio-based materials at scale.

Як ультразвукова дисперсія покращує продуктивність мокрого кінця та зменшує витрати
, Катрін ХілшерPapermakers are discovering that better chemistry doesn’t always mean more chemistry. A growing number of mills are turning to ultrasonic dispersion to improve how wet end additives are mixed and activated before they ever reach the stock. By using high-power ultrasound to break up agglomerates and homogenize chemical streams in-line, mills can improve retention, formation, and process stability while reducing chemical consumption and energy use. With linear scalability and industrial-grade sonicator systems from Hielscher Ultrasonics, ultrasonic dispersion is moving from the lab into full-scale paper production as a practical, cost-effective wet end upgrade.

Як ультразвукова обробка може перезарядити лізоцим для лізису бактеріальних клітин
, Катрін ХілшерSonication boosts lysozyme efficiency in bacterial cell lysis: Researchers find a growing body of research shows that combining lysozyme with ultrasonic sonication dramatically improves bacterial cell lysis in biotechnology and protein production workflows. While lysozyme alone often struggles with dense or over-expressing bacterial cultures, sonication enhances enzyme effectiveness by weakening cell walls through cavitation-driven mechanical forces. The result is faster processing, more complete cell disruption, and higher protein yields. Laboratories increasingly use Hielscher sonicators to precisely control ultrasonic energy, reduce processing time, and achieve reproducible results across research and industrial-scale applications.
