  • Study: Sitting is Not the New Smoking

    No need to get up: claims comparing the health dangers of sitting for long periods with smoking cigarettes are misleading.

  • Cheez-It Toting Drone Tests Last Mile Energy Use

    During the tests, drones carrying 5-, 10- and 15-pound packages of snack food were sent up to 100 feet into the air.

  • Ontario Power Will Back NuScale's Canadian SMR Bid

    Ontario Power will offer expertise to support NuScale’s design review application currently under development.

  • Listen to Orcas to Benefit Marine Conservation

    Researchers developed a web app to make it easier for citizen scientists to listen for southern resident killer whale signals from hydrophones.

  • Using Laser Technology to Attract Alien Attention

    Regardless of the potential effects on humanity's future, researchers from MIT are studying how to use existing laser technology to beam a beacon strong enough to attract attention from as far as 20,000 light years away.

  • Regulators OK Offshore Wind, but Say They Were Forced

    The $300 million project will be paid for through existing rates, as directed by the Grid Transformation & Security Act of 2018.

  • Study: Screen Time Has Minimal Effect on Children's Sleep

    A new study from New Oxford University Research has found that screen time has little to no impact on the quality of children’s sleep.

  • Harvard Creates Free Database for Developers of Legal AI Software

    To help an artificial intelligence algorithm develop legal skills, Harvard Law School announced that it has made over six million court cases available to the general public.

  • IIHS: Teen Drivers are Safest in Large Vehicles, Reinforces Newton's Second Law

    The study emphasized this age demographic because of its high risk of accidents, although large, heavy vehicles are safer than small, light vehicles for all drivers and passengers, not just teenagers.

  • Florence Damage Estimates Are Nearly $17b in NC

    The state budget agency said that three categories drive approximately 80% of the direct and indirect damage estimates: business, housing and agriculture.

  • Study Links Autism to Air Pollution

    According to a new study, small children exposed to fine particles (PM2.5) from industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust and other outdoor pollution sources have an increased risk of developing autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

  • China Unveils Gait Recognition Software

    Authorities in China will debut another surveillance tool that determines personal identification based on how a person walks.

  • Latest Seismic Imaging Techniques Overcome Obstacles Associated with Near-Surface Anomalies

    Localized near-surface geological anomalies complicate seismic depth imaging, however, the latest Q modeling and Q-compensating imaging techniques help overcome challenges associated with these anomalies. They address issues with seismic wave absorption and phase distortion and provide for increased image clarity.

  • Fuel Cells Tested for Ship Propulsion

    Two Hydrogenics 30 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cells will be used to assess the operation and control of a megawatt-scale propulsion system.

  • A Green Approach to Recovering Rare Earths from Fluorescent Lamps

    The metals are recovered from discarded lamps by means of chelator chemistry instead of the harsh acid extractants commonly applied to dissolve valuable materials.

  • Toward an Environmentally-friendly Concrete

    Environmentally-friendly methods for producing concrete without cement are being developed. One such method makes use of fly ash, which results in a product strong as traditional concrete and also offers greater resiliency to acid damage and temperature extremes.

  • Nutrient Recovery from Seafood Processing Effluent

    The system recovers nutrients, proteins and fats for use as fish feed in microalgae cultivation and other applications.

  • Optical Metrology Delivers Precision Engineering to the Production Floor

    Used on the production line, in metrology labs, or integrated into factory automation, Zygo technology enables fast and precise measurements allowing engineers visibility to process stability for almost instant corrective action.

  • Locating Subjects in Surveillance Footage Using Soft Biometrics

    Researchers have created an artificial intelligence algorithm capable of locating a subject appearing in surveillance footage based on description rather than on facial recognition.

  • Skip the Sutures in Favor of Laser-Activated Silk Nanosealants

    Laser-activated nanosealants may offer a more biocompatible tissue repair option than sutures or staples.
