  • Researchers propose plan to power rickshaws with EV batteries

    Researchers from the University of Warwick in the U.K. are proposing to reuse electric vehicle (EV) batteries to power the roughly one million rickshaws used to transport people in Bangladesh.

  • Flash flood risk differs in the west than in the east: Here's why

    Researchers found that "flashiness" actually decreased with the extent of imperviousness in arid, urban, Southwest watersheds.

  • Unheeded safety rules could have saved lives in duck boat accident, NTSB says

    Lives could have been saved, and the Stretch Duck 7 accident could have been prevented had previously issued safety recommendations been implemented, the NTSB charged.

  • Sensors sniff out decay in books old and new

    An “electronic nose” made up of sensors can detect the early signs of paper decay in books through the volatile organic compounds they emit.

  • Motor operation in hot and cold climates

    Overheating is one of the most common ways to damage electronic and electrical machines. This is especially true for electric motors.

  • Motor enclosures: The passive part with a crucial role

    A motor's application suitability is often determined by a passive mechanical part – the motor enclosure.

  • A new test may detect prion, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases

    After working on prion detection for two decades, the team has designed a fast, non-invasive method of detecting prions in the body fluids of infected living subjects using a synthetic-molecule-based approach.

  • Researchers using straw, grass and maize to develop biodegradable food packaging

    Scientists from Bangor University, Wales, in conjunction with scientists from Makerere University in Uganda are using byproduct from the farming industry — grass, straw and maize — to develop biodegradable packaging for eggs, fruits and vegetables.

  • How does a HEPA filter work?

    High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and ultra-low particulate air (ULPA) filters are air filters designed to trap a vast majority of very small particulate contaminants from an air stream. Learn about how they work, relevant standards and more in this article.

  • Robot swarm could detect nuclear material

    The developers hope to create a swarm of fully autonomous inspector bots using machine learning software to enable the swarm to independently navigate and communicate with each other while conducting inspections.

  • Automotive Lightweighting with Adhesive Bonding

    The automotive industry is increasingly employing composites, ultrahigh-strength steels and low-density alloys such as aluminum and magnesium to lightweight vehicles. These new material combinations often require new bonding technologies.

  • New versatile, addressable perforation system

    GEODynamics advanced perforation system provides heightened levels of precision and reliability and is compatible with most addressable switches on the market.

  • Calling Dr. Google

    Google has announced a partnership with Ascension, operator of 150 hospitals and over 50 senior living facilities in 21 states. With this partnership, Google has obtained access to millions of patient’s medical data records through an initiative dubbed “Project Nightingale.”

  • HVAC units for offshore oil and gas applications

    Offshore oil and gas operations present three major challenges to HVAC infrastructure: increased corrosion potential, hazardous locations and space restrictions. To overcome these challenges, Specific Systems present their InPac units.

  • Researchers working to develop the first offshore work class robot

    The project brings together several European companies under the aegis of the Oil & Gas Technology Center (OGTC), an Aberdeen, Scotland-based organization that partners with industry, government and academia to develop ideas into products and services.

  • Researchers develop magnetized artificial skin

    Researchers have developed artificial magnetized skin with the potential for use as wearables and as a human computer interface.

  • Watch: Stolen, wrecked Challenger a highlight of SEMA 2019

    The vehicle was stolen, wrecked in a police chase and displayed anyway.

  • Lidar and AI improve oil rig safety

    Vision IQ, monitors human and equipment movement on a rig’s red zone and alerts operators when it spots dangerous situations.

  • Hyundai RANC technology combats road noise

    The RANC technology can analyze various types of noise in real-time and produce inverted soundwaves.

  • ExxonMobil unit wins strategic reserves pipeline contract

    The facility includes two marine docks on the Mississippi River and six storage tanks with a combined storage capacity of 2 million barrels.
