  • Molecular Sieve Engineered for Hydrogen Storage

    A manganese hydride molecular sieve for practical hydrogen storage could cost roughly five times less than 700 bar tanks.

  • Video: Studying Volcanic Eruptions in the Lab

    To better understand the forces at work in volcanoes, researchers conducted a series of explosive experiments focusing on what happens when lava meets water.

  • Sharp Increase in Academic Scientist Dropout Rate

    Half of those currently in pursuit of careers as scientists at higher education institutions will likely abandon those career plans after just five years.

  • PG&E Offers Details on Equipment Failures Near Camp Fire

    A failed suspension insulator and bullet-riddled electrical poles were found near the ignition point of the deadly California wildfire.

  • Modular Gas Processing Plant Is Headed to Texas

    Honeywell will design and supply a modular cryogenic plant with refrigeration and dehydration units.

  • Wind Turbine Blades with a Twist Are Undergoing Tests

    Rotor blades equipped with bend-twist coupling are able to adapt to variable wind conditions by themselves; at higher wind speeds the blades can bend or twist, thus offering the wind a smaller impact surface.

  • Vessel Fire Could Have Been Prevented, NTSB Says

    The lack of a requirement for a fire detection and suppression system in a space containing engine exhaust tubing prevented the early detection of a shipboard fire, which resulted in one fatality.

  • What Lives Beneath: Characterizing Creatures in the Deep Biosphere

    Bacteria, archaea and other microbes form a vast amount of carbon in Earth's subsurface — 245 to 385 times greater than the carbon mass of humans on the surface.

  • 2018's List of Most Overused Phrases in the Workplace

    As the sun sets on 2018, a team at FitSmallBusiness.com compiled a list of the most overused expressions heard in the workplace.

  • Biomedical Engineers Create Painless Method for Anemia Testing

    A team of biomedical engineers has created a smartphone app that could take the sting out of detecting anemia.

  • Solving Flow Control One Valve at a Time…

    Throughout more than a century of working in the manufacturing industry, The Specialty Manufacturing Co. has created custom valves that solve problems and bring the ideas of a diverse engineering audience from concept to reality.

  • Specialty Casting Film: Major Inroads in Tire Technology

    During the past three decades, there has been a steady evolution of casting film products designed specifically to increase tire lifespan.

  • Bumblebees to Collect Farm Data Using "Backpacks"

    The sensor backpacks are light (roughly 0.0035 ounces) enough to be carried around by bumblebees, collecting data for seven hours at a time while traveling distances that are relatively long. To wirelessly recharge and to transmit the data it collects, the bumblebees would simply have to fly back to their hives.

  • Researchers Make Food Poisoning Discovery

    Affecting an estimated 1 in 6 Americans each year alone, serious food-borne illnesses caused by Bacillus cereus, a common type of stomach bug that produces toxins responsible for inducing diarrhea and vomiting, can, in extreme cases, lead to hospitalization and even death.

  • Video: NASA Probe Finds Water on Asteroid and Confirms its Dimensions

    The OSIRIS-Rex mission has revealed water locked inside the clays that make up the asteroid Bennu.

  • Study: Particulate Morphology and Health Risks of Arc Welding Fumes

    Maximum levels of particulate matter 10 micrometers or smaller occur in the workspace during arc welding operations.

  • Optimal Heart Valve Sizing with 3D Printing

    A new 3D printing workflow lets cardiologists gauge how different valve sizes will interact with each patient’s unique anatomy.

  • Report: Prospects for Renewables Penetration and a Decarbonized Economy in the EU

    A new report examines the possible evolution of the European electricity market under different levels of variable renewable energy penetration through 2025.

  • A Spotlight on MECO EA Type-1 Seals

    Custom-engineered shaft seals from MECO Seal eliminate many common problems with respect to performance, safety, productivity and harmony.

  • Study: Distracted Driving Laws Are Saving Motorcyclists' Lives

    A new study from Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and the University of Miami has found that laws that stop or discourage drivers from using their cell phones while driving have reduced fatalities among motorcyclists.
