  • IEA Report: World must act to accelerate hydrogen transition

    The economic prospects of increased use of hydrogen are expected to improve as the cost of producing this fuel from renewable electricity could decline 30% by 2030.

  • What’s inside a CubeSat?

    A detailed look at the components inside the MicroMAS-1 CubeSat.

  • Bicycle-only highway to open in Germany in 2020

    Expected in 2020, the bicycle autobahn will connect 10 cities, four universities and cover 62 miles of roadway, making it the first car-free highway in Germany.

  • Water from oil and gas fields may solve a blowdown challenge

    The university researchers are testing a process that would combine blowdown water with so-called “produced water” that comes from oil and gas wells in places such as the Marcellus formation in parts of West Virginia.

  • Heavy rainfall may have led to fiery Texas tank car derailment

    Investigators said that at least three of the derailed tank cars were breached and released denatured ethanol, which ignited.

  • Protect personnel and critical equipment from thermal threats

    You can trust that Firex will buy your personnel and equipment the critical time they need when exposed to rapid-temperature-rise fires.

  • Construction company develops AI that can predict worksite accidents before they happen

    A Boston-based construction company has been developing an AI-based system for predicting construction site injuries.

  • Industry 4.0 is creating lean, agile manufacturing strategies, including for welding

    Epitomic productivity starts on the factory floor, where there is a flood of valuable data, which is absorbed by smart sensors, connective machines and human-machine interfaces.

  • Video: Polar ice paints a more precise picture of preindustrial ozone levels

    A more definitive determination has been made by analysis of molecular oxygen trapped in polar firn — granular snow that has not yet been compressed into ice — and ice.

  • Cash prize aims to boost Li-ion recycle rate

    A $5.5 million prize is intended to spark innovation in developing methods to collect, sort, store and transport spent and discarded Li-ion batteries.

  • Video: Microfluidic sensor designed to monitor sickle cell disease

    The microfluidics-based electrical impedance sensor characterizes the dynamic cell sickling and unsickling processes in sickle blood without the use of microscopic imaging or biochemical markers.

  • Exoskeletons in manufacturing: Part 2

    Wearable robots could provide greater augmentation of human abilities such as supernumerary limbs, navigation and guidance.

  • A thin layer of zinc plating has wide effect on fasteners

    When it comes to mechanical fasteners such as bolts and nuts, electroplating a steel or iron component with zinc provides functionality and reliability that is more than surface deep.

  • AI analyzes facial images and DNA evidence, recommends suspects based on genetics

    An international team of engineers led by KU Leuven University in Belgium have built an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm capable of scanning through image databases, identifying faces with the potential for being matched with DNA recovered from crime scenes.

  • Zero-emission ferry to debut this fall in San Francisco

    A partnership between SW/TCH Maritime and Golden Gate Zero Emission Marine will expedite the launch of the first zero-emission, hydrogen fuel cell ferry, according to reports.

  • Survey: Travelers overwhelmingly approve use of biometrics at the airport

    According to a new study, U.S. travelers “strongly support” the use of biometrics to screen travelers at airports.

  • New liquid diaphragm pump doubles previous flow rates

    KNF has announced a new low pulsation liquid diaphragm pump that delivers up to 12 L/min, almost double previous maximum outputs.

  • Watch: Small, superconducting magnet generates record magnetic field intensity

    Weighing only 390 g, the device is capable of generating a record magnetic field intensity of 45.5 tesla.

  • Agreement settles TVA coal ash dispute

    The settlement requires TVA to remove 12 million cubic yards of coal combustion residuals from its active coal ash ponds at the Gallatin Fossil Plant and remediate the area over the next 20 years.

  • Officials cite environmental impacts, reject wind project

    North Dakota wildlife officials said that the project developer "could not have picked a worse spot in the state" in terms of potential negative impacts to prairie and wetland wildlife species.
