    SolmixBag is a one-ply paper bag created to store and transport dry construction materials such as cement and dry mix mortar products.

  • Collaboration with nature yields fungus-based building material

    The team used thread-like strands of fungi, dubbed mycelium, to create these biodegradable and renewable materials for the construction and manufacturing industries.

  • Review sheds light on all solar PV-thermal systems

    This comprehensive review covers all photovoltaic (PV)-thermal system designs developed to date at both the research and industry level.

  • Safe compact encoders for autonomous vehicles

    Compact encoders detect the steering angle and speed of autonomous vehicles to enhance safety and productivity.

  • A new class of sustainable aviation fuel

    This methanol to jet fuel processing technology converts electrofuel-methanol to electrofuel-sustainable aviation fuel reliably and at scale.

  • ChatGPT builds a tomato-harvesting robot

    On the path to developing the robot, the researchers first asked the chatbot what it thought might be the greatest future challenges for humanity, which ChatGPT instantly identified as the food supply.

  • Carnegie Mellon prints seaweed-derived actuators

    These seaweed actuators, according to their developers, can extend, bend, twist and can be combined to create structures for gripping and positioning.

  • ARO introduces the EVO Series Electric Diaphragm Pump with exclusive features

    The EVO SeriesElectric Diaphragm Pump offers a range of exclusive features that were previously unavailable in a single pump solution, combining the versatility of a diaphragm pump with the efficiency and controllability of positive displacement pumps.

  • Coating kills bacteria at hospitals

    Researchers from the University of Nottingham in the U.K. used chlorhexidine, which is often used by dentists to treat mouth infections and for pre-surgical cleaning, to coat the polymer acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS).

  • Combatting climate change in the metaverse

    Expanded use of the virtual 3D environment could lead to a lowering of global surface temperature by up to 0.02° C before the end of this century.

  • Cactus inspires solution to prickly electrolysis problem

    A catalytic structure inspired by the shape of the prickly pear cactus enhances the cost-effectiveness of electrolysis for hydrogen evolution.

  • What will it take for modern EVs and hybrids to become collectible?

    Three major issues must be resolved before electric (EV) and hybrid vehicles assume value as collectibles.

  • Researchers eye bugs as robotic end effectors

    The researchers selected pill bugs, also known as woodlice, as potential end effectors along with chitons, or marine mollusks, thanks to their reported natural reflex to grasp objects.

  • New tech to keep civilian and supply planes safe from missiles

    Elbit’s disposable anti-radar decoy, dubbed the Nano Self Protection Electronic Attack and Reconnaissance (Nano SPEAR), is a miniature system designed to serve as a countermeasure against radar-guided air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles that threaten civilian and supply planes.

  • Mosquito-killing robots deployed to city sewers

    Determining that it is easier to kill mosquito larvae than to kill flying mosquitoes that carry viruses like dengue and zika, the researchers deployed unmanned vehicles underground.

  • Calculations for hydro turbine performance

    Water energy (or hydropower) is one of the renewable energy sources that is helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels for power generation. And the hydro turbine is at the forefront of technologies helping to harness hydropower.

  • Material changes color when medications get too warm

    To develop their proof of concept, the team incorporated the color-changing materials into a vial lid featuring a QR code.

  • Supply chain problems for automakers beyond microchips

    In the wake of the semiconductor shortage, many countries have been pursuing investments in national semiconductor fabrication plants.

  • Video: A wave energy converter for everyone

    The modular design allows scaling up to meet greater power demands or for use in hybrid applications.

  • Groundwater extraction shifts Earth’s axis

    Groundwater withdrawal activity has caused the Earth’s rotational pole to shift over the last 20 years.
