  • Heat Treatment of Bolts and Fasteners for Demanding Applications

    Many demanding applications require high-strength fasteners in order to handle high tensile and shear stresses generated by the applied loads on the bolted or fastened joint.

  • An Environmental Impact Assessment of New SSTs

    New supersonic transport aircraft are unlikely to comply with existing standards for subsonic aircraft.

  • Ensuring Adherence to Specialty Medication Prescriptions

    Recent attempts to bridge the gap between patient behavior and healthcare recommendations include connected medical devices. On the prescription side, smart pill bottles can address a patient’s adherence to prescription dose rates.

  • Watch: New Nanoscope Opens New Doors for Early Symptom Alzheimer’s Research

    Purdue University researchers have developed a super-resolution “nanoscope” that provides a 3D view of brain molecules in up to ten times greater detail than traditional microscopes.

  • Bacteria Engineered to Tap Atmospheric Nitrogen and Produce Fertilizer

    The next step could be nitrogen-fixing plants that can do the same, reducing the need for commercial fertilizer.

  • Energy Storage Could Replace Three Natural Gas Power Plants in California

    Once deployed, the storage would sideline three gas-fired power plants that lack long-term energy supply contracts with utilities.

  • New Data: California Beat 2020 Emissions Target in 2016

    California cut greenhouse gases by 2.7 percent in 2016, marking a return to pre-1990 levels.

  • Four Ways the Electric System Can Better Integrate Microgrids

    With nearly 2,000 now operating or planned across the country, microgrids can run in an “island” mode or connect to the main grid. The current electric system needs upgrading in order to synchronize with them properly.

  • Corps of Engineers Levee Database Available to Public

    The database may be a useful tool for a variety of public agencies and individuals including flood plain managers, emergency management agencies, levee system sponsors and people who live or work behind a levee.

  • Here's Why Pulsed Sparks Make for Better Ignition

    Researchers used a high-speed infrared camera to record the effects of nanosecond pulsed high-frequency discharges on ignition kernels.

  • New Ricardo Electric Motor Designed to Boost Power, Cut Costs of Hybrids

    The 48 V e-motor offers up to a 50 percent increase in power density compared with current production machines.

  • AI Expected to Create as Many Jobs as It Displaces in the UK

    As expected, artificial intelligence (AI) will likely displace workers all around the world in the future as advances are made. According to research from the accountancy firm PwC, in 20 years, the U.K. alone could expect to see roughly seven million jobs displaced by AI. However, the same firm also predicts that even more jobs could be created as a result.

  • Sweden May Reach 2030 Renewables Target This Year

    Sweden is well ahead of its 2030 renewable energy goals, so much so that the country may hit its renewable generation target this year.

  • Utility Signs Deal for More Wind Energy Capacity

    The wind farm is expected to be completed by early 2020 and is part of the utility's plan to add 1,000 MW of wind generation in the next two years.

  • CSIRO Report: Australia Could Lead the World in Li-ion Battery Reuse and Recycling

    Only 2 percent of Australia’s annual 3,300 tons of Li-ion battery waste is currently recycled. At the current growth rate, this waste could exceed 100,000 tons by 2036.

  • Kickstarter Campaign Promises Users the Chance to Build Robots from Just About Anything in Home

    A Kickstarter campaign from Smartibot promises to give consumers the power to build an artificial intelligence robot from just about anything in the home — even a potato.

  • DOE Reports Global Increase in Fuel Cell Power Shipments

    More than 650 MW of fuel cell power were shipped worldwide in 2017, with the largest increase attributed to expanded introduction of fuel cell light-duty vehicles.

  • Six-legged Robot Chases Sunlight to Keep Plants Alive

    All too often, our houseplants can meet untimely deaths brought about by exposure to less than ideal conditions and good old-fashioned neglect.

  • World’s First Quantum Dot Ink Pen Developed

    The technology could be used as security inks or for anti-counterfeiting applications.

  • Lockheed Martin Forms New Partnership to Advance the 3D Printing of Aerospace Parts

    Arconic and Lockheed have already collaborated on 3D-printed metal parts for aircraft and NASA’s Orion spacecraft.
