DARPA advances critical element recovery from e-waste
University teams will test platforms for extracting up to seven low-volume fraction critical elements that are not targeted in current electronic waste (e-waste) recovery systems.
Video: Ethics app helps researchers align their moral compass
The app is intended to stimulate awareness of and invite critical discussion about integrity and professionalism in research.
Team develops hydrogen peroxide e-bandages for wound-healing
The electro-chemical bandages, otherwise known as e-bandages, produce hydrogen peroxide, according to its developers, which is commonly used to treat wounds.
Building robust HMIs for rugged and harsh applications
Boyd is at the forefront of the solutions that ruggedized HMIs, thanks to its expertise and ability to convert resilient materials into nearly endless shapes, sizes and form factors.
Analytical method pegs marine microplastics
The hybrid method can help render microplastics research more standardized and accessible.
The environmental impacts of wind energy
Often considered more ecologically sound than other power generation options, wind energy can exert some adverse environmental impacts.
DARPA-funded gel-film pulls water from air
To improve access to drinking water in arid regions characterized by water scarcity and that rely on groundwater in the absence of freshwater sources, the researchers developed the low-cost gel film.
Fundamentals of synchronous motors
Just because synchronous motors typically run at synchronous speeds, it doesn’t mean it is impossible to control their speeds to meet different application needs.
Pinpointing a particle accelerator inside a solar flare
The latest discoveries were made viable by observations of an X-class solar flare in 2017 by NJIT's Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) radio telescope.
Micrometeoroids no match for James Webb Space Telescope
The craft was struck sometime between May 23 and May 25 by a larger than expected micrometeoroid.
