It is that time of year again! We are thrilled to share that the Lios team is heading to Paris this March for JEC World, the leading international trade show for the composites industry.

Lios is working with a global insulation leader, to enhance acoustics in their insulation portfolio. This is part of the European Innovation Council’s InnoMatch programme, a Horizon Europe funded project to match EIC awardees with market leaders to pilot next-generation products.

Thixotropy is a time-dependent shear thinning property observed in certain non-Newtonian fluids and gels. Unlike Newtonian fluids, which have a constant viscosity regardless of the applied stress, thixotropic materials exhibit a decrease in viscosity over time when subjected to shear stress. Once the stress is removed, they gradually return to their original, more viscous state. This reversible process is crucial for applications that require dynamic changes in material properties.

The car horn, the revving engine, the streak of tyres on the pavement all build up to one thing: noise pollution.

The Technology Readiness Level (TRL) scale is used to determine how ready a technology is for application.

We are partnering with the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of their Future Launchers Preparatory Programme (FLPP) to deploy SoundBounce as a Fairing Acoustic Protection (FAP) used in space flight.

This funding is a major milestone for us. It’s the result of over a decade of research, development, and unwavering determination to solve one of industry’s toughest problems: harmful noise and vibration.

In this blog, we’ll explore the different ways that animals are being affected by anthropogenic noise and what we can do to help.

Dublin and Ireland as a whole are known for their cold weather, but climate change could change this reputation.
