    A diving equipment manufacturer out of Cambridge in the U.K. is exploring the possibility of turning grounded airplanes into makeshift hyperbaric oxygen chambers for treating coronavirus patients.

  • Indium is abundant: Explore what's possible with Indium Corporation

    For 85+ years Indium Corporation has researched, developed applications, and explored innovations using indium metal.

  • New mask material removes virus-sized nanoparticles

    Amid a global face mask shortage due to the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent disruptions to the supply chain, a team from Queensland University of Technology in Australia has developed a mask that is capable of removing particles under 100 nanometers (nm) — essentially the same size as viruses.

  • Study: Video games improve cognitive development

    Expert video game players have greater sensitivity to contrasts, better hand to eye coordination and superior memory than beginners.

  • Study finds that oil and gas platforms emit more methane than previously reported

    Research from the University of Michigan has revealed that U.S. offshore oil and gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico are emitting roughly double the amount of methane, which is a greenhouse gas, than previously reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

  • Disinfecting robots join the fight against COVID-19

    In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a robot that is capable of quickly disinfecting large areas.

  • Satellites can help predict cloud cover for solar panel plants
