  • HAWTS vs VAWTs: Selecting wind turbines for urban sites

    Factors including wind resource availability, space limits, power needs and aesthetic concerns should be considered when deciding between horizontal or vertical axis wind turbines in urban settings.

  • Thin film ellipsometry of material thickness at the low micron scale

    The technique delivers better resolution and data acquisition that is three orders of magnitude faster than traditional methods.

  • Sensory feedback in next-gen prosthetics

    In recent years, sensory feedback in prosthetics has garnered considerable attention. A surge in research has presented both invasive and non-invasive solutions, reflecting the heightened interest from prosthetic manufacturing entities.

  • Study: Oil extraction triggers tremors

    The study determined that fracking, the process of injecting liquid at high pressure to force open fissures and extract oil or gas, causes slow, small tremors or earthquakes.

  • Organic batteries for sustainable energy storage

    Conventional energy storage technologies predominantly rely on inorganic materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, which present significant challenges in terms of resource scarcity, environmental impact and supply chain ethics. Organic batteries, composed of carbon-based molecules, offer an alternative that addresses these concerns.

  • Researchers recycle greenhouse gas into energy, materials

    Researchers are attempting to transform methane — a harmful greenhouse gas — into energy and materials via two separate approaches.

  • AI model estimates a subject’s true age according to their chest X-ray

    Establishing a link between age and chronic medical conditions, the AI model can reportedly calculate a person’s age accurately according to the appearance of their chest X-rays.

  • A bio-based glue that strengthens its adhesive bonds underwater

    Derived from bio-based components including zein, which is a protein found in corn, and tannic acid, the adhesive was tested in various underwater experiments using different surfaces and different waters.

  • DOE dissects critical material supplies for clean energy technologies

    As the energy sector continues to decarbonize, the list of potential materials essential to clean energy technologies will only increase.

  • Predicting COVID cases by combining wastewater data with AI

    Hospital admission rates of COVID-19 cases can be predicted up to four weeks in advance using a wastewater-based epidemiology approach to artificial intelligence (AI) modeling.

  • EPLAN enters into technology partnership with Dassault Systèmes

    The goal is seamless integration of electrical engineering and fluid-power technology in the context of product development.

  • Dormer Pramet sharpens high-end threading options with the Shark E894

    The premium materials used in the taps provide a balanced ratio of toughness, hardness and heat resistance to the entire tap.

  • Autonomous robot identifies potential oil and gas pipeline leaks

    The University of Houston team has developed SmartTouch technology, which includes ROVs featuring several stress wave-based smart touch sensors, video cameras and scanning sonars — that swim alongside subsea pipelines to inspect flange bolts.

  • Rutgers' team creates efficient spray technique for bioactive materials

    Potentially paving the way for transdermal medication delivery — for instance, in the form of shot-free vaccinations — the team has devised a new approach to electrospray deposition, which is an industrial spray-coating process.

  • Solar tracking devices: Enhancing solar energy capture

    Solar energy is one of the renewable energy sources with great potential to meet the world’s energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and several technologies have been developed over the years to harness solar energy to generate heat and electricity.

  • Turning potato chip bags into energy-saving cooling films

    The Bayreuth team has developed an upcycling process for chips bags that includes the development of cooling systems.

  • Researchers devise new way to control fire

    Because high-temperature flames are commonly used to create a wide assortment of materials, the North Carolina University team sought out an approach for better controlling and taming flames used for processing materials.

  • Optimizing PV/Trombe wall system design

    The system is designed to provide hot water, hot air and electricity, with a Trombe wall system also serving to cool down photovoltaic (PV) module temperature.

  • HAIMER at EMO 2023: Tool management made easy

    New products in the area of tool clamping technology, including the Micro Collet Chuck and the High Performance Chuck, will be presented.
