  • Directional drilling in naturally fractured reservoirs

    With the existence of geological fractures, either in the target area or in areas that must be drilled through to reach the target area, a detailed structural framework for the geological understanding of the area must be made.

  • How technology is being used to combat the coronavirus

    Here is a review of the latest technological tools being used to combat the spread of the virus so far.

  • How do ventilators work in the fight against COVID-19?

    Medical ventilators are designed to respire a patient's lungs via a breathing tube. When the lungs reach capacity, the natural elasticity of the tissue forces the air out.

  • Nanosheets decimate superbugs during wastewater treatment

    Graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets with molecular imprints have been designed to capture antibiotic resistance genes from municipal wastewater systems.

  • Rubber-like material shows promise as a substitute for human tissue

    Researchers from Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology have developed a material that shows promise for replacing human tissue in medical applications.

  • Speed, precision, skill: Flying in the Red Bull Air Race

    What’s it like competing in the fastest motorsport series on the planet?

  • Solar cells shine indoors and power IoT devices

    The dye-sensitized solar cells are based on a copper-complex electrolyte, making them suitable for harvesting indoor light from fluorescent lamps and LEDs.

  • Gas turbine inspection and repair techniques

    One of the key driving factors behind maintaining an industry best fleetwide reliability for turbomachinery equipment like turbines is one that involves developing and executing a planned and robust turbine maintenance program.

  • Use your computer to help combat COVID-19

    Help combat the threat of COVID-19 by donating some unused computational power to the Folding@home Consortium distributed computing project.

  • Electrostatic atomizer efficiently paints Toyota’s vehicles

    Using the airless atomizer, vehicles can be painted with a 7% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and a coating efficiency surpassing 95%.

  • Papaya enzyme makes for an organic solar cell

    A low-cost, sustainable solar cell production route makes use of papain, an enzyme found in the papaya.

  • Watch how a sweat sensor monitors stress levels

    The graphene-based sensor is fabricated by laser etching a plastic sheet to form a 3D graphene structure with tiny pores in which sweat can be analyzed for cortisol, an indicator of stress.

  • Team develops thin solar heating film for efficient thermal energy harvesting

    A team from Swinburne University of Technology's Centre for Translational Atomaterials, has created a thin film of graphene-based material that absorbs sunlight while minimizing heat loss and quickly heating to 83° C in open settings.

  • Spent nuclear fuel storage site clears an NRC hurdle

    The license, if approved, would authorize an initial phase of the project to store up to 8,680 metric tons of uranium (equal to 9,568 short tons) in 500 canisters for 40 years.

  • Watch: New treatment method makes wood waterproof, thermally insulating and fungal resistant

    Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology created a method that could replace conventional pressure-treating.

  • Device generates 5 V of electricity from one tiny droplet of water

    Researchers from Japan’s Nagoya University and Kyushu University have developed a device for harvesting energy from the movement of just one droplet of water to produce more than 5 volts of electricity.

  • Johns Hopkins Engineering – Part-time and Online Programs

    Johns Hopkins Engineering offers 21 academically rigorous master's programs specially designed for busy working professionals.

  • Watch: Interface affords improved control of prosthetic hands

    An improved biological interface from the University of Michigan can now provide enhanced individual finger control of robotic hands.

  • Watch: New drying solution set to cut costs for the cable and wire manufacturing sector

    The cable drying solution effectively removes residual moisture from water-cooled insulated wire, cable and extruded products.

  • QuesTek Innovations enhances capabilities in Japan with joint venture

    High performance alloy developer QuesTek Innovations LLC announces a joint venture agreement with Tokyo-based Itochu Techno-Solutions.
