  • Researchers Feed Cattle Seaweed in Attempt to Cut Emissions

    In an effort to create climate-friendly cattle, researchers at UC Davis have started feeding cows seaweed.

  • Bringing 3D Models to the Construction Site

    The construction industry is undergoing a transformation of sorts and nowhere is that truer than in the transition from 2D to 3D models. What was once a process involving two dimensional draft design is now a “smart” process that offers greater detail and data in addition to a realistic imagining of what the finished product will look like.

  • Mini Cycloidal Reducers for Precision Rotary Positioning Applications

    DieQua's Twin Spin Mini line of cycloidal reducers provide high precision, high torque and zero backlash for industrial robots applications.

  • Early Research Offers Hope for Those with Spinal Cord Injuries

    Scientists have demonstrated, in rodents, that it is possible to reconnect severed spinal cord neurons by manipulating their growth processes.

  • New Purification Method Uses Sand to Clean Chemical-ridden Stormwater

    The University of California Berkeley has developed a new method to purify stormwater to create a clean source of water for water-stressed communities.

  • Scientists Developing Non-addictive Painkiller to Fight the Opioid Epidemic

    As the United States struggles with an opioid epidemic — largely brought on by an introduction to prescribed pain killers that eventually devolves into an addiction to street-grade heroin — researchers from the Wake Forest School of Medicine have developed a non-addictive painkiller.

  • This Engineering Firm Plans to Hire 1,000 People a Year for "the Foreseeable Future"

    To make room, the firm is adding a 142,000-square-foot, four-story office building and a 550-car parking garage at its world headquarters.

  • ZYGO Launches Next-Generation Advanced 3D Optical Profilers

    Nexview™ NX2 and NewView™ 9000 3D optical profiling instruments precisely measure surface area topography quickly and with ease for enhanced productivity and versatility, addressing a broad range of applications.

  • FirstEnergy Just Raised the Stakes in its Poker Game Over Power Plants

    The power generator says it plans to close fossil-fired plants with a total of 4 GW of generating capacity in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

  • New Technology from Maplesoft Helps Cities Go Green through Smarter Fleet Electrification

    Maplesim Fleet Forward helps transit authorities reduce risk during the transition to electric buses.

  • Air Pollution Impacts Automotive Fuel Cell Service Life

    Spontaneous power losses of about 5% and more than 10% in special situations from nitrogen oxides can be expected for fuel cell vehicles in urban areas.

  • Video Game Designed to Improve Doctor's Triage Decision-making

    A team of researchers, hoping to improve triage decisions made by doctors, have developed a video game to train doctors.

  • Predicting Earthquake Aftershocks Using Machine Learning

    Researchers from Harvard University are attempting to harness the power of machine learning and apply it to earthquake aftershock detection.

  • Study: Air Pollution Taking Toll on Intelligence

    According to research from China, air pollution is taking a toll on intelligence.

  • What is the Ultimate Dielectric Material? Diamond Materials, Part 4

    While nanotechnology has enabled rapid advances in microelectronics, diamond is key to overcoming major stumbling blocks to further miniaturization, namely the cost, power limitations and large size of passives.

  • What is the Best Material for Electronics Thermal Management? Diamond Materials, Part 3

    Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity of any material, which makes it an excellent choice for thermal management in electronic devices.

  • What to Consider When Your Hydraulic System Springs a Leak

    Hydraulic cylinder seals, found in everything from machine tools, trucks, off-highway vehicles and injection mold machines, serve a variety of functions. Most critically, this includes closing a gap, making sure that the system is leak-tight and capable of transferring forces within the system.

  • RMI Report: Mining for Emissions Reductions

    Mining companies have numerous options to choose from when planning for carbon dioxide emission reductions, including adding renewables to their electricity supply and improving mining processes.

  • $3b Lock and Dam Promises to Ease River Barge Traffic

    More tonnage passes this point than any other place in America’s inland navigation system. In 2011, 91 million tons traversed this portion of the Ohio River.

  • Gate Scientific’s Wi-Fi Precision Hotplate Stirrer
