Greetings from Mars
Ever since the InSight Mars Lander arrived safely on the red planet in November, not a day has gone by without new photos and reports from afar. Gore’s cables were used as part of the navigation system and are also on board the lander itself, communicating data back to Earth and helping scientists understand the formation and early evolution of rocky planets.

“Selected Memories of Functionality” at the Paris Men’s Fashion Week
At Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, visitors experienced what happens when high performance functionality meets creative design. For the first time, Gore hosted a showroom featuring iconic GORE-TEX® and GORE-TEX® INFINIUM™ products. Co-curated by stylist Stephen Mann the “Selected Memories of Functionality” exhibition intended to inspire lifestyle and functional apparel companies about the functional excellence of the GORE-TEX® brand.

GORE™ High Temperature Capacitors Earn Global Honors
GORE™ High Temperature Capacitors took home this year’s global Plunkett award for excellence in fluoropolymer innovation. With applications in the oilfield services and aerospace industries, Gore’s innovation enables a film dielectric, known for reliability, to be used in a temperature range not previously possible. Gore is working with leaders in oilfield and aerospace innovation to put the capacitors to use in these industries.

Addressing the Challenge of Silicone-Sensitive Biologics
Biologic drugs are at the forefront of biomedical research. Developed to treat complex diseases like cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, they are typically administered by injection. However, some biologics can negatively interact with silicone, a common lubricant within a pre-filled syringe delivery system. The new GORE™ ImproJect™ Plunger eliminates the need for silicone in both plunger and glass barrel, while ensuring the functionality and performance of pre-filled syringes.

Fitting like a sock
Lightweight elastic shoes are gaining traction. Not surprisingly, as they effectively contour to the shape of the foot to provide enhanced comfort. The new GORE-TEX® 3D fit footwear technology also delivers waterproofness, windproofness and breathability.
Unveiled and awarded at this summer’s OutDoor Show in Friedrichshafen, Germany, first models will be available in-store and online beginning in February 2019.
