    The photonic biosensor tracks oxygen levels in real time in organ-on-a-chip devices.

  • Italian Bridge Owner Looks to Replace Collapsed Span with Steel

    The Italian company that manages the Polcevera bridge approved more than $570 million in initial funding to help those affected by the disaster and to pay for a new steel bridge.

  • Synchrotron Tools Used to 3D Image Microscopic, Hydrogen-Induced Cracks in Metals for the First Time

    In the past, these types of cracks have been impossible to study without destroying the metal.

  • Bechtel Tapped for UK Nuclear Project

    The Wylfa Newydd 2,700 megawatt power station is proposed to be built in North Wales.

  • The Impact of Trace Metals Felt at Sea

    According to a new study led by researchers from Cornell University, marine plastic isn’t the only thing threatening ocean life and the ecosystem. Also affecting biological productivity and changing the ocean ecosystem are trace metals carried by aerosols, like dust and other particles in the atmosphere.

  • Using AI to Help Physicians Take Notes for Electronic Health Records

    Based on estimates from a 2016 study, for every hour spent with a patient, physicians will spend two hours writing and entering notes into electronic health record (HER) systems. Thanks to artificial intelligence that process might soon become automated, which would free doctors up for more important tasks.

  • Fruits and Vegetables Discarded for Being Ugly

    According to research from the University of Edinburgh, over one-third of fruits and vegetables — food that could be used to nourish the world’s starving populations — are discarded before reaching grocery store shelves all because they are “unattractive.”

  • How to Succeed as the Makerspace Movement Gains Steam

    The maker movement is a growing trend based on the philosophy of doing, building and creating instead of just simply buying.

  • Hunter Industrial Fans Makes First IMTS Appearance

    Visitors will have the opportunity to see the company’s Titan series 18-foot fan installed and operating at the booth.

  • Prospects for Energy Neutral Uranium Extraction with HTGRs

    The use of heat and electricity from small, modular HTGRs co-located with mineral processing facilities could support energy neutral operations yielding mineral resources and uranium by-product.

  • Passive Fire Protection Materials Receive DNV-GL Certification

    Tiles designed to provide passive fire protection against blast, jet and pool fire in harsh environments received DNV-GL certification. The deck tiles also provide anti-fatigue dampening support, a corrosion barrier and can be tailored to withstand various chemical and mechanical conditions.

  • How Coffee Grounds Can Beget Biodegradable Plastics

    Coffee grounds can be converted into lactic acid, which can then be used to produce biodegradable plastics.

  • A Solid Solution to Preventing Li-Ion Battery Fires

    Silica particles added to liquid electrolytes clump together and block fluid flow on impact, which could prevent electrodes from touching and starting a fire.

  • UGA Working on Biodegradable Straws

    With the number of bans on single-use plastics growing worldwide, a research team from the University of Georgia New Materials Institute, in collaboration with the RWDC Environmental Stewardship Foundation are attempting to create at least one alternative to a plastic product: a biodegradable plastic straw.

  • Omega Engineering Helps Customers Get Started with Predictive Maintenance

    A new informational site offers simple, off-the-shelf solutions, including sensors and software, to help users implement predictive maintenance programs.
