  • IEEE Initiative Announced to Boost 5G Innovation

    An international Open Testbed Community led by IEEE is aimed at stimulating 5G innovation.

  • The Growing Role of Artificial Intelligence in Oil and Gas

    Technologies have advanced as the steep drop in oil price has driven companies to look for innovative ways to improve efficiency.

  • New Boride Material Resists Corrosion at High Temperatures

    The key to its ability to resist oxidation at extremely high temperatures is the presence of aluminum between molybdenum and boron layers.

  • Inside Switzerland's Gotthard Base Tunnel

    The world’s longest train tunnel opened to passenger and freight traffic in early June. Here's how engineers built it.

  • The Need for Project Quality Management

    The cost can be significant if no quality management program exists.

  • Anti-UAV System to Be Tested at U.S. Airports

    Each month, the FAA receives more than 100 reports from pilots and others who spot what appear to be unmanned aircraft flying too close to an airport or manned airplane.

  • Airbus to Begin Beluga XL Construction in 2017

    Upon completion, the five aircraft will provide an additional 30% transport capacity for Airbus’ industrial network.

  • Two-way Oxide Catalyst Is Developed

    The discovery may aid development of materials for fuel cells, rechargeable batteries and similar energy storage devices.

  • Copper Shines as Fat Burner

    The health benefits of copper continue to be unearthed.

  • Geothermal Lake Plate System Cools Nashville Airport

    Lake water is being circulated via closed looping and geothermal heat exchangers submerged in the quarry to the airport terminal's central plant, providing cooling for the entire terminal.

  • Dual-Fuel Garbage Trucks to Showcase Hydrogen's Transport Potential

    The trucks, converted to run on hydrogen and diesel, are expected to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality in densely populated urban areas.

  • Camera-Equipped Drone Enables "Smart" Watering of Crops

    Hyperspectral cameras are effective in picking up the “spectral signature” of plants, which varies with their stage of growth and the surrounding conditions.

  • Truck Reuses Engine Heat for Power

    According to KTH, the system could save vehicles hundreds of liters of fuel and reduce their carbon emissions by as much as 2 to 3 metric tons per year.

  • Ingestible Robot Can Be Controlled by Magnets

    The robot can unfold itself from a swallowed capsule and, steered by external magnetic fields, crawl across the stomach wall to remove a swallowed button battery and/or patch the resulting wound.

  • Boost Plant Efficiency with Regular Compressed Air Maintenance

    Manufacturing facilities can cut energy bills by assessing and optimizing their compressed air systems.

  • Clean Water, Big Price Tag

    Water treatment infrastructure in the U.S. remains underfunded and underappreciated.
