  • Methane from Lake Boosts Power Production in Rwanda

    Elevated methane levels are harnessed in a 26 MW power plant.

  • Microwaved Nanoribbons May Bolster Oil and Gas Wells

    When cured in place with microwaves emanating from the drill assembly, the composite plugged the microscopic fractures that allow drilling fluid to seep through and destabilize the walls.

  • NASA, FAA Demonstrate Wireless Communication with Aircraft

    The prototype AeroMACS hardware, developed by Hitachi Ltd., is based on WiMAX wireless communication standards but uses different frequencies to enable connectivity on the ground.

  • Machine Learning Accelerates Discovery of New Materials

    Finding new materials has traditionally been guided by trial and error. But with increasing chemical complexity, the combination possibilities are too large for such an approach to be practical.

  • Two Elevator Cabs, One Shaft: 40% More Capacity

    Each twin elevator has its own major mechanical and electrical components but shares the same guide rails and landing doors in a single elevator shaft.

  • A City Car for the Masses

    The total through-life costs for a production equivalent of the vehicle would be 34% less than for a typical “city car.”

  • Innovation, Engineering and the Arts

    A strong argument can be made to add an “A” to STEM education.

  • Siemens Wind Turbine Towers to Top 115 Meters

    A feature of the tower system is the on-site match casting of annular precast tower segments, which eliminates the need to grout the joints between tower sections.

  • NIST Updates Systems Security Engineering Guidelines

    The report sets out to create a comprehensive, engineering-based approach that includes security considerations from the original design throughout the system’s entire lifecycle.

  • 3D Printing to Enable Customized Snacks

    3D printing has the potential to enable customization of snack foods—and ultimately the development of high-tech vending machines that deliver these products.

  • Complex Color 3D Models Simplified by Disney Team

    A new technique allows for fast, inexpensive and complex color 3D replication.

  • Bio-glass Could Help Regrow Human Cartilage

    Researchers created a scaffold that encourages cartilage growth and could end the need for some knee replacements.

  • Rebuilding Damaged Bridges ASAP

    A new method may quickly restore structurally damaged support columns.

  • Invisible Skin That Mimics Healthy Tissue Could Deliver Drugs

    Scientists create an invisible skin for drug delivery and cosmetic uses.

  • One-Step Graphene Patterning Method Developed

    Engineers have created a method to pattern graphene on almost any substrate.

  • Infrastructure Needs $3.3 Trillion Over Next Decade: ASCE

    Through 2025, planned investment is $1.8 trillion, leaving a $1.5 trillion gap.

  • Silver Nanowires in Smartphones?

    Silver nanowire films consist of wires over a thousand times thinner than a human hair that form an interconnected conductive network.

  • Low-Carbon Advance in Producing Hydrogen

    The advance could benefit chemical engineering and industrial applications, plus hybrid and electric vehicles.

  • Trams to Carry Collision Avoidance, Auto-Braking Tech

    The system combines radar and video sensor technologies derived from Bosch's automotive division together with a rail control unit.

  • Bionic Hand Improved with Control Interface

    An advanced control system promises a more intuitive experience with robotic prosthetics.
