  • Compact CO2 Turbine Could Be Used to Generate Clean Power

    Although the turbine can fit on an office shelf, it can generate as much as 100 megawatts (MW) of “fast electricity” per installed unit.

  • Camera Could Wrap Around Objects for New Point of View

    A flexible lens array that adapts its optical properties when the sheet camera is bent enables the camera to produce high-quality images over a wide range of sheet deformations.

  • Mushrooms as a Building Insulation Alternative?

    Mushroom-based building insulation is grown rather than manufactured.

  • Solar Cell Production Bumps Efficiency, Cuts Cost

    Kerfless wafer technology produces silicon solar cells at relatively low cost.

  • Improper LED Retrofits Are on the Rise, UL Says

    Certified kits and installation instructions help curb the safety risks of poor fitting retrofits.

  • Printing Electronics with a Pen

    Scientists in Germany have combined organic and inorganic electronic materials to develop a hybrid ink that allows them to write electronics on paper.

  • Scientists Create Thin Film for E-Skin Display

    Researchers in Japan have created an ultrathin, ultraflexible film layer that will enhance e-skin display.

  • Researchers Develop Means to Create Protein-Mimicking Polymers

    The synthetic versions could be more stable and long lasting, which was the impetus to develop the sequence-defined polymers.

  • Coating Offers 90-Month Fouling Control

    The coating is designed for deep sea vessels and has been trialed in high-risk fouling routes between the Arabian Gulf and South East Asia.

  • Tamper-Proof Hologram Could Reduce Counterfeit Trade

    The researchers are using an ultraviolet nanosecond-pulsed laser to sculpt unique holograms with micro-sized features directly onto the surface of metals.

  • Inflatable Habitat "BEAMed" Up to the ISS

    Expandable habitats are designed to take up less room on a rocket, but provide greater volume for living and working in space once expanded.

  • Good Engineer or Good Project Manager? You Can Be Both

    A focus on detail is critical to every engineer, but can hide the overall scope that a successful project manager needs to command.

  • Send in the Crowds: Engineering’s New Idea Factory

    The challenges are a wonderful way to get engineering solutions from a diverse community from all over the world.

  • Handheld Surgical "Pen" Prints Human Stem Cells

    Using a hydrogel bio-ink to carry and support living human stem cells the pen delivers a cell survival rate in excess of 97%.

  • Pilgrim Nuclear Plant to Close in 2019

    Entergy cited low prevailing and forecast wholesale energy prices—brought about by record low natural gas prices—as having "significantly" impacted Pilgrim's revenues.

  • Micro-Turbine-Powered Supercar Planned for Production

    Unlike previously developed turbine powertrain systems, there is no direct electrical feed from the generator to the electric motors.

  • Fiber Laser Could Advance Remote Sensing of Greenhouse Gases

    What is special about the laser is that it not only can change wavelengths, but it can be tuned over a very large wavelength range.

  • Amorphous Steel Alloy Is Incredibly Impact Resistant

    Testing showed the alloy can withstand pressure and stress of up to 12.5 giga-Pascals without undergoing permanent deformation.

  • UK Aerospace and Defense Sectors Firmly Against "Brexit"

    70% of ADS member companies consider it would be better for their firm if Britain votes to remain part of the EU.

  • Hand Movement Restored to Paralyzed Man

    A paralyzed man regains hand movement through a chip implanted in his brain.
