Seco supports medical innovation with virtual event, exclusive content
The virtual event will focus on precision medical manufacturing excellence.
Watch this drone swarm fly through dense forest
The drones were outfitted with feature depth cameras, altitude sensors, onboard computers and algorithms that enable collision avoidance, flight efficiency and coordination within the swarm.
Team develops non-toxic wood glue derived from glucose, citric acid
To create the new wood glue, researchers combined glucose and different quantities of citric acid into a sticky substance.
Copper surfaces outperform silver surfaces against COVID-19
Although corrosion causes copper and silver to release positively charged ions into their environment that harm bacteria and subsequently prevent their growth or eliminate them altogether, the researchers are suggesting that the results for eliminating COVID-19 are not the same.
Nonprofit seeks to plug orphaned oil wells in US
The Environmental Innovators of America, formed by Tiger Oil Co. and Major Ed Pulido of the John Daly-Major Ed Heart of a Lion Foundation, was launched, fittingly on Earth Day (April 22, 2022).
Keysight Technologies introduces its vector signal generator for wideband multichannel mmWave applications
The four-channel vector signal generator with frequency up to 54 GHz offers up to 5 GHz of radio frequency (RF) bandwidth and low phase noise in a single instrument.
Platform analyzes chemical waste, offers ways to make new products from it
According to the company, the chemical industry is responsible for the production of a significant amount of waste. Yet, waste from the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and fertilizers, for example, could serve as the base material for other valuable chemicals, the researchers suggest.
The promise of PRISMA for cutting compressed air costs
The system charges up using cheaper off-peak electricity to create a store of cold liquid air that can then be discharged to provide compressed air.
Jumping robot breaks record
The robot reportedly broke the current world record for highest jumping robot, previously held by Boston Dynamics’ Sand Flea, which jumped just over 32 ft high.
Video: Simplify two component dispensing
This dual servo-driven, variable ratio system offers ultimate control of shot size and volume with repeatable results across materials.
Iron catalyst cuts fuel cell cost
The iron-based catalyst could dramatically reduce the cost of hydrogen fuel cells.
Machine learning targets toxins in oil sands tailings
The method could provide rapid assessment of oil sands impacts on natural waters.
Uptick to continue for US petroleum prices and production
The Brent crude oil price is expected to remain above $100 per barrel for the remainder of 2022.
Robotic system promises to automate laundry
The robot platform has been trained to autonomously put items in and pick them up from the washing machine following the completion of a washing cycle.
IMC WAVE 2022 analyzes sound, vibration according to standards
IMC Test & Measurement has introduced its IMC WAVE 2022 — software for standard-compliant noise and vibration analysis with IMC data acquisition systems.
New 3D imaging tool from Brookhaven achieves highest resolution yet
The team designed the new nanomaterial using DNA as a programmable construction material, which enables them to create novel engineered materials for catalysis, optics and extreme environments.
Piston-based pressure switches selection: Ensuring a rugged design
A pressure switch is rugged if its design allows a stable switching response and long lifecycle under several conditions like pressure spikes, leaks, high temperature, chemical exposure, moisture, shock loads and vibration.
New, more streamlined frac iron system introduced by SPM Oil & Gas
The newly enhanced SPM Simplified Frac Iron System reduces the footprint and amount of iron required for fracking operations, thereby increasing frac site operational efficiency. This results in fewer lines, connections and components, fewer potential leak paths and less NPT.
Video: Mine truck hauls with hydrogen
The world’s largest hydrogen-powered mine haul truck can transport a 290 ton payload.
Machine learning identifies anxious walkers according to gait
The researchers then employed machine learning to identify walkers with anxiety based on gait alone, reportedly achieving 75% accuracy.
