  • Ph.D. Student Suggests Cutting Traffic Might Be Achievable with Reserved Driving Times

    While investigating the issue of rush-hour traffic, an Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) student has presented plans for a system where drivers can reserve drive time in a designated traffic lane.

  • US LNG Export Capacity Ranks 3rd in the World

    LNG export capacity will reach 8.9 Bcf/d by the end of 2019, more than double the current capacity.

  • Device Designed to Clean Up The Great Pacific Garbage Patch Isn't Working

    A tool designed to help with cleanup efforts in the Pacific Ocean isn’t working as well as expected according to new reports.

  • Vishay Intertechnology Releases High-Speed Optocouplers

    Vishay Intertechnology Inc. has introduced a new series of 1 megabaud (MBd) high-speed optocouplers featuring an open collector transistor output with Schmitt-Trigger functionality for easy integration into digital systems.

  • Scientists Developing a Global Digital Museum

    The fossil collections on display in some of the world’s most famous museums are just a fraction of what is hidden away, some of which haven’t been seen in decades. This has prompted scientists to develop a global digital museum.

  • The Red Light Traffic Camera Debate

    In some municipalities, the days of seeing flashing lights in your rearview mirror after accidentally running a red light are gone and have been replaced by red light cameras. However, the debate over their effectiveness is raging.

  • The Avian Diversity Cost of Hydropower Development

    Forest-dependent birds were observed to have largely vanished along with rainforest around a hydro project in Thailand.

  • Listen: Sounds of Martian Winds Recorded by NASA InSight Lander

    Sensors detected vibrations in the spacecraft generated by a northwest wind blowing at 10 to 15 mph (16 to 24 km/h).

  • Keys to Choosing Ceramics and Substrates for High-Power Electronics

    Aimed at high power circuit and system designers, the brief details the common ceramic and semiconductor material choices encountered by designers, and offers insight on the advantages, disadvantages and tradeoffs of each so as to allow for informed decision making that leads to ideal performance and yields.

  • CEA-Leti Develops Circuits for Neuromorphic Processors

    CEA-Leti has developed circuits for neuromorphic processors that replace CMOS transistor-based TCAM memory with RRAM-based TCAM memory.

  • Wind Resource Decline Noted for Northern Hemisphere

    Station observation data show a decline in surface wind speeds over North America, Europe and Asia over the last 40 years.

  • A Connected System for Offshore Developments

    Federal offshore crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico is posting record average monthly production rates year after year. Production rates in excess of 2 million barrels a day will be experienced if current trends continue through 2019 as reported by the EIA. To support offshore oil and gas production, Baker Hughes has introduced a new platform that is designed to help producers reduce breakeven costs associated with offshore reserves.

  • Reining In Agri Runoff Pollutants with Rice

    Rice fields may have potential to remove pesticides from agricultural runoff.

  • This Power Plant Would Stand Above Rising Sea Levels

    The plant would be built as much as 11 feet above sea level, an acknowledgement that ocean levels could rise by 34 inches by mid-century.

  • Biosensors Track Metastatic Potential of Cancer Cells

    The technology gauges the migration potential of individual cells based on the presence and modification of a specific protein.

  • DroneShield Earns Spot in 2019 Governmental Australian Military Sales Catalogue

    DroneShield Ltd. has announced that its products DroneGun, DroneSentry and DroneSentinel have been approved for inclusion in the 2019 Australian Military Sales Catalogue.

  • Rural Water Projects Gain USDA Funding

    The funding can be used for drinking water, stormwater drainage and waste disposal systems for rural communities with 10,000 or fewer residents.

  • Help Gorillas by Recycling Your Old Mobile Phone

    Recycling old phones for the extraction and reuse of conflict metals could ease pressure on wild populations of gorillas inhabiting metal mining regions.

  • Essential Oils May Be Used to Combat Persistent Forms of Lyme Bacteria

    A laboratory study indicates that plant compounds may be more effective than current antibiotics at treating persistent Lyme bacteria and associated symptoms.

  • Microscopic Shape-Changing Materials Mimic Nature
