  • Coalition develops microrobotic system for regenerating knee cartilage in rabbits

    A coalition of researchers from institutions in both China and Korea have devised a microrobotic system for regenerating knee cartilage in rabbits.

  • Expensive car drivers are more likely to have either egocentric or diligent personality

    Researchers from the University of Helsinki have found that both self-centered and contentious people are more likely to own fancy cars than other personality types.

  • Researchers create an insect-inspired microrobot

    Improving upon the design of insect-inspired microscopic robots, researchers from the University of Washington have developed a new flying microrobot capable of multi-modal locomotion.

  • Brookfield plans wood timber mid-rise on San Francisco pier

    The building would be built using cross laminated timber floor slabs, glue-laminated timber columns and beams, steel lateral seismic framing and metal cladding.

  • Century-old wire arc additive manufacturing gaining a foothold

    Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), traces its roots to the 1920s and is gaining attention today as a cost-effective and time-saving 3D printing tool.

  • Robotic welding in 5D

    Robotic manufacturers utilize 5D software platforms to reduce lead times and increase cost estimate accuracy. These platforms have great potential in the field of offsite construction.

  • Aircraft flight control issues prompt NTSB safety recommendations

    The recommendations stem from a Nov. 6, 2019, incident involving Republic Airways Flight 4439, an Embraer EMB-175 as it departed Atlanta's Hartsfield airport.

  • Video: Energy reuse demonstrated in a multi-turn particle accelerator

    Energy efficiency comes to the study of particle physics with a successful test of energy capture and reuse technology in a multi-turn particle accelerator.

  • ExxonMobil proposes a $262 million carbon capture facility

    Construction could start in the third quarter of 2020 and be completed by the end of 2022.

  • Researchers turn trash into graphene

    Rice University researchers have developed a process for turning just about any carbon source into graphene flakes.

  • Sorting used batteries for second life service

    A new procedure allows quick assessment of the suitability of used electric car batteries for reuse in stationary energy storage systems.

  • Researchers create fiber composed of seaweed, crab shell compounds for textile, medical industries

    Research conducted by teams from the University of British Columbia, Aalto University and the University of São Paulo have developed a fiber by spinning together chitin nanoparticles from blue crabs and a seaweed extract called alginate.

  • US to remain a net energy exporter through 2050: EIA

    EIA projects domestic energy demand to grow 0.3% per year on average through 2050. That rate is slower than the average annual growth of 1.9% in U.S. gross domestic product.

  • Panasonic offers two new high temperature and long life U type cells

    The nickel metal hydride batteries feature superior high temperature tolerance to 75° C and long service life of eight to 10 years.

  • Screw jacks from DieQua

    There is a widespread push in North America to replace hydraulic lifting systems with electromechanical systems. Many engineers are now tasked with the job of eliminating environmentally unfriendly hydraulic oil with systems that are purely electromechanical.

  • A spectroscopic approach to painless glucose monitoring

    The technique offers a non-invasive way to transdermally monitor blood glucose levels.

  • Researchers use durian fruit to make biodegradable food packaging, 3D printing filament

    In a bid to curb plastic waste pollution, a research team from the International Islamic University Malaysia have created biodegradable food packaging composed of the skin of durian fruit.

  • Nuclear waste disposal materials prone to fast corrosion

    Materials used to store such waste corrode far more quickly than previously thought and could pose environmental hazards once buried in repositories.

  • Hydrogen to fuel Olympic flame in Tokyo

    Both the Olympic Torch and Cauldron will be fueled by hydrogen during the Tokyo 2020 games.
