Touchstone Research Laboratory, Ltd. started in 1980 in the basement of a monastery where Founder Brian Joseph rebuilt a scanning electron microscope and never looked back. 
Hear Brian tell the story of how he built Touchstone Research Laboratory into a world-class research facility in Triadelphia, WVa., that has earned a reputation as a leading research center known for taking new technologies from ideation to commercialization.
Discover how CFOAM is one of Touchstone Research Laboratory's most success spin-out companies that was sold to Consol. Made from coal, CFOAM carbon foam is designed to meet growing demand for ultra-high performance engineering materials in the military, industrial, aerospace and commercial product markets. 
Brian and his growing team keep the innovation pedal slammed to the metal with ventures that include Touchstone Testing Laboratory, a joint venture that performs various testing, such as failure analysis and materials testing; and Touchstone Advanced Composites, a manufacturer of tools (molds) for next-generation aircraft and rocket parts.

eLoop CEO Ned Eldridge is all about pushing the boundaries of technology to make electronics recycling more sustainable.
Ned steps up tot he One Mic Stand to share eLoop's approach to handling toxic materials like mercury in flat panel TVs and its collaborations with Carnegie Mellon University and Covestro to develop pilot programs for recycling ABS plastic from electronic waste.
ELoop is using custom-built robots to disassemble flat panel displays and is finding ways to create closed loop systems for indium and plastics so they can be reused and not discarded in landfills.
As a DEP permitted e-waste recycling facility, eLoop, believes in landfill diversion and auditable environmental compliance. eLoop has a completely transparent chain-of-custody and provides our customers with the most efficient, secure and sustainable solution available for IT assets and universal waste streams.

Peoples Natural Gas is not just imagining a world with zero-emission hydrogen energy, it is actively pursuing it through a unique partnership with H Quest and the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering with promising results.
Tune in to TechVibe Radio this Sunday (7/14) to learn more from Peoples' Doug Bush about the pilot and innovative demonstration project in McKeesport that will attempt to create zero-emission hydrogen energy at the scale needed for widespread adoption.
Peoples installed one of H Quest’s proprietary microwave pyrolysis units to transform natural gas into pure hydrogen without CO2 emissions. The process creates what is often referred to as turquoise hydrogen. The process also creates carbon black: an industrial product used as a crucial component in batteries, paints, pigments, rubber products, tires, and more.
Tune in, geek out and be amazed!
