  • UK Grounds Some Police Drones Amid Airworthiness Fears

    Some police drones in the U.K. have been grounded amid concerns that a design fault causes the drones to crash.

  • How Healthy is Your Equipment?

    The health of critical equipment dictates the success or failure of an operation across a wide range of industries. To mitigate the risk of equipment failure, maximize uptime and improve maintenance scheduling, the industrial internet of things (IIoT) has become a pivotal tool for improving operational efficiency.

  • Mazda Revives the Rotary Engine - As a Range Extender

    Mazda has confirmed the reintroduction of its famous Wankel engine for 2020.

  • WWF Report Blames Human Consumption for Massive Wildlife Losses

    According to a new World Wildlife Fund (WWF) report, "exploding human consumption" is at the heart of a significantly massive reduction in global wildlife populations in recent years.

  • New Magnetic Valve Design Removes Magnet from Valve Body

    This eliminates concerns with material compatibility and operating temperatures. This also allows operators to service the magnetic actuator without removing the valve bonnet.

  • How Does GPS Work?

    The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a global navigation satellite system continuously broadcasting signals that allow receivers anywhere in the world to determine their location through a process of trilateration.

  • High Screen Time Leads to Mental, Learning Issues in Teens and Children

    Researchers from San Diego State University and the University of Georgia have conducted a study on the effect that screen time has on children and teenager’s mental development.

  • Low Water Hits Barge Traffic

    The disruptions are occurring when markets typically build inventories of distillate fuel for space heating during the winter.

  • Advertising in Children’s Apps May Hurt Learning

    A new study from the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital takes a deep look at advertising in popular apps for children 5 or younger. Parents may not realize how ads in these apps are affecting their children.

  • Solar with Storage Project Set for California

    The deal is one of the largest contracted solar-plus-storage projects in California to date.

  • Team Can Detect Fake Images Created By Humans and Machines Alike

    With advancements in image processing and machine learning come greater difficulty in detecting both machine-generated and human-generated fake face images, which has been the inspiration behind new research from a team at the State University of New York in Korea.

  • Plant-based Road Salt May Not Be So Eco-Friendly After All

    As winter approaches, the discussion over natural alternatives to road salt heats up. Joining that discussion are York University researchers who are suggesting that one of those natural alternatives isn’t necessarily eco-friendlier.

  • Operating Record Set by Nuclear Reactor in India

    Unit 1 of India's Kaiga nuclear power plant has completed its 895th day of continuous operation.

  • New Frameworks Enable Robots to Learn from Humans

    Students at Stanford University have developed two frameworks that help robots learn from humans rather than from a large data set or by exploring their environment.

  • Are Your Valves a Cybersecurity Risk?

    Valves are critical flow-control devices in industrial process control operations for chemical and materials manufacturing, water and wastewater management, oil and gas processing, power generation and many other applications. Could your valves be a cybersecurity risk?

  • Organ on a Chip Realized in 3D

    The device incorporates cells inside a 3D transistor composed of a soft, sponge-like material inspired by native tissue structure.

  • Closed-Loop Control Increases Efficiency, Soft Landing of Solenoid Valve Actuators

    Researchers at the Eindhoven University of Technology simulated the effects of using cascaded closed-loop control with Simulink and transient FE software to analyze potential energy consumption reductions and soft-landing ability.

  • Novel Catalyst Could Help Bring This Fuel Cell to Your Home

    The fuel cell's newly invented catalyst makes its own hydrogen fuel from methane.

  • MIT Allowing Players to Virtually Control a Human for Halloween

    For one day, a hired actor will give up decision making while attempting to defeat an “evil AI.” Instead, game players will work together to direct the actor through the software, by voting on a list of possible actions as submitted by the players.

  • AVT Launches Unique ‘Off-the-Shelf’ Anti-vibration Pipework Bracing System
