Watch: Ingestible Bacteria-on-a-Chip Tracks GI Health
Ultra-low-power sensors carrying genetically engineered bacteria can detect gastric bleeding.
Plan a Virtual Trip Beyond Our Solar System with NASA
Sometimes even the most seasoned traveler needs a little help in planning vacation logistics. There are over 3,700 planets in our galaxy. Why limit expeditions to just Earth?
Ruthenium: Fourth Single Element Identified as Ferromagnetic at Room Temperature
The discovery could be used to improve sensors, devices in the computer memory and logic industry, or other systems using magnetic materials.
17-watt Thermal Interface Pad from Fujipoly
Sarcon 30XR-m from Fujipoly is a high-performance thermal interface material that exhibits a low thermal resistance.
Monitoring Sweat Biomarkers
A wearable device hosts a non-invasive sweat sensor system. Sweat is produced from eccrine glands in the dermis layer, and the fluid contains valuable molecular biomarkers that can now be monitored by a device that offers both analytical and chronological accuracy.
Nanoparticles Deliver Cancer-fighting Drugs Directly to the Tumor
The nanoparticles were specifically developed to fight glioblastoma multiforme one of the most difficult forms of cancer to treat.
Nukes Took It on the Chin in PJM Auction, Raising the Stakes for Their Survival
Across all of PJM, more than 10,600 MW of nuclear capacity did not clear the annual auction, up from 3,243 megawatts that failed to clear in 2017.
Steel Chips Combat E. coli Pollution in Storm Water
About 85-98 percent of the bacteria were removed by steel chips collected as machine shop waste material during small column testing.
Autophage Engine Consumes Itself After Satellite Launch
A ‘self-eating’ rocket engine that could place small satellites in orbit more easily and more affordably is under development.
Plastic and Its Impact on the Medical Industry
Despite earning itself a bad reputation, environmentally speaking, plastic has proven itself a life-saving material as far as the healthcare industry is concerned.
Turning Pollution on Its Head
A new technology can turn captured carbon dioxide emissions into a common plastics precursor — meaning that pollution can be used to make plastics, rather than the other way around.
Video: See the Top 10 New Species Listed for 2018
This list is published annually around May 23 in to coincide with the birthday of Carolus Linnaeus, the “Father of Taxonomy.”
Music Can Trigger Healthy (or Unhealthy) Decisions
A study published in the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Sciences finds that the volume of ambient music has a systemic effect on consumers' preferences for healthy food versus junk food.
Computational Modeling for Treating Alzheimer's Disease
A new computational tool could help create an optimized, personalized approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease.
Machine Learning Enhances Understanding of Earthquakes, Geothermal Reservoirs
Machine learning tools revealed patterns that correspond to water-injection flows at The Geysers geothermal field, suggesting a link to the mechanical processes that produce earthquakes.
Bechtel Climbs Aboard Texas Rail Project
The engineering firm will support Texas Central in managing a bullet train project as it moves from development to implementation, perhaps in as little as a year.
Opening Polymer-forming Technologies to Glass
Scientists have developed a new technique for industrial glass processing. By employing a simple structuring technology to treat quartz glass like a polymer, the method overcomes a longstanding challenge to maximize both quality and efficiency.
MHI Thermal Systems Receives Certification for Automotive SPICE Ver. 3
Certification was received for its electric compressor for automotive air conditioners as compliant with Version 3 (Level 3) of Automotive SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination).
Capacity Prices Just Jumped in This Big Power Market
The price for more than 160,000 MW of power resources almost doubled in a single year in a market that's testing just how far the Energy Department might go to bail out coal and nukes.
