  • Light-activated antimicrobial coating kills bacteria under ambient light

    Researchers from the University College London have developed a light-activated antimicrobial coating that kills bacteria under low intensity ambient light conditions.

  • Ørsted 11 MW turbines are tapped for new offshore wind project

    The 11 MW turbine features a 200-meter-diameter rotor using the 97-meter-long Siemens Gamesa B97 IntegralBlade.

  • Video: Goodyear unveils regenerating concept vehicle tire

    The tire uses capsules made of biodegradable material that regenerates the tire after harsh road conditions.

  • Join us on a trip through the slip ring

    Each element – energy, data, media, electrical, or optical signal – entails varying demands. Thanks to our wide range of transmission technologies, we guarantee the best possible path through the slip ring.

  • A look at optimizing HVAC systems

    HVAC systems are quite energy intensive, yet some best practices can ensure they operate at maximum efficiency.

  • Minimizing fire potential in thermal-oil heat transfer systems

    Thermal fluids have proven exceptionally safe in a wide range of industries. However, it is difficult to completely prevent fires in these systems because the necessary ingredients for a fire — fuel, air and ignition source — are present by design. The risk of fire can be minimized by observing sound design, installation and maintenance procedures.

  • ASHRAE publishes guidance for buildings, facilities regarding coronavirus

    ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) recently released its guidance to building industry professionals regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the operation and maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

  • Pantyhose inspire stretchable, washable, soft light-emitting textiles

    A team of researchers from the University of Windsor in Canada have developed a method for creating light-emitting fabric inspired by ultra-sheer pantyhose.

  • Video: Nuclear power plant plans are now open source

    Designs for a small-scale 100 MW pressurized water reactor that could be built in two years for just $300 million are publicly accessible.

  • US military is funding a subcutaneous biosensor to detect infection two weeks ahead of symptoms

    As the world prepares for the spread of the coronavirus, the U.S. military is investigating the feasibility of a subcutaneous biosensor that can alert its host to signs that the body is fighting off an infection, up to two weeks before symptoms emerge.

  • Researchers create new method for eliminating salt from processed foods

    Researchers from Washington State University (WSU) have developed new technology that could reduce the sodium levels in processed foods while maintaining the safety of those foods.

  • Bread waste could be used to feed microbial starters

    Researchers from the University of Bari Aldo Moro found a way to reduce bread waste and cultivate sustainable microbial starters.

  • Fusible alloys: Valuable design components

    Fusible alloys, or low-melting alloys, have some interesting properties, but are often overlooked

  • Why do cables fail?

    Discover how you can prevent unplanned downtime by avoiding these six causes of cable failure.

  • Mussel inspired adhesive can be turned on and off with electricity

    Researchers from the Michigan Technical University created an underwater smart glue prototype that can go from sticky to solid in seven seconds with a small zap of electricity.

  • Silicon carbide rollers for manufacturing cathode active materials for Li-ion batteries

    Electric vehicles (EV), energy storage, electronics, biomedical devices and many other applications are driving low-cost, high-capacity lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand. This demand is placing pressure on battery manufacturers to increase output and reduce costs.

  • Video: Materials solutions drive EV battery assembly efficiency

    The materials can advance high-volume electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing operations with short cycle times and process flexibility.

  • Bechtel signs EPC deal for LNG export project

    The Port Arthur LNG development project is expected to initially include two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure.

  • As sea levels rise, these cities are most at risk, report says

    Analysts used the index to assess sea level rise exposure of 500 cities with million-plus populations and found that 11 of the 15 most at-risk cities are in Asia.

  • Study: Formulating new antibiotics with metals
