  • Watch: NASA Mission Discovers New Magnetic Reconnection in Earth’s Magnetosheath

    NASA has discovered a new magnetic reconnection within the Earth’s atmosphere that could affect electronics on Earth.

  • New AI and Deep Learning Method Speeds Up Gross Tumor Volume Analysis

    The new work focuses on taking a doctor's decision-making process and turning it into a computer program.

  • Constructing Emergency Shelters with Used Plastic Bottles

    Typically, after disaster strikes, supplies such as food, medicine and bottled water are sent to the affected location. With untold numbers of plastic bottled water sent to such sites, how the plastic bottles are disposed of after use become, understandably, a minor consideration.

  • Here's What's in California's New Rooftop Solar Mandate

    The solar PV mandate could add $9,500 to the cost of an average home, but may cut energy and maintenance expenses by up to $19,000 over 30 years.

  • Google Assistant Can Now Make Your Hair Appointments and Restaurant Reservations

    Thanks to technology called Duplex, Google Assistant is now able to make calls to schedule appointments and reservations for users — all while sounding like an actual human.

  • Researchers Closer to a Cocaine Breathalyzer

    Researchers from the University at Buffalo have developed a low-cost chip that brings them one step closer to developing a breathalyzer that works much like an alcohol breathalyzer but instead of alcohol, the device would be capable of detecting cocaine.

  • Nano-sized Cellulose Fibers are Stronger than Steel

    The material could be used in composites for cars, bikes or medical implants.

  • The Biggest Hurdles You'll Need to Overcome When Cooling Your Warehouse

    To address warehouse climates HVAC components need to overcome a laundry list of challenges. From air leaks, vaulted ceilings, inadequate insulation and over-sized doorways to circulation requirements, building codes and safety regulations, a significantly large fan is simply not enough. Or is it?

  • These 4 Finalists Will Compete to Renovate the Eiffel Tower

    The project will see the teams revise the approach to the 324-meter tower, rethink access to its elevators and make improvement to reception and work spaces.

  • Watch: Lithium-Sulfur Battery Uses Plastic to Solve Energy Storage Problems While Lowering Plastic Waste

    The new method puts ink-free plastic that is soaked in a sulfur-containing solvent in a microwave, and then turns that into batteries as a carbon scaffold.

  • Ensuring Scalability When Modifying Valves

    A deep understanding of scalability, manufacturability and virtually all aspects of design ensures that errors and design iterations are minimal.

  • Senvion Unveils New 4.2 MW Turbines for North American Market

    The 4.2 MW turbines are best suited for low and medium wind sites and are an excellent choice for the U.S.

  • Earthquake Engineers Find Out How The Leaning Tower of Pisa has Survived Major Earthquakes

    Since the middle ages, multiple strong earthquakes have hit the area, yet the tower is still standing—albeit leaning.

  • TVA Protects 2 Nukes from Floods and Rebuilds a Leaky Dam

    Worries over big floods and the remote possibility of a dam failure led TVA to take on big infrastructure projects.

  • A Superconductor Theory from the 1980s Reveals New Information on a New Superconductor

    Rice University physicists have used an old theory that finally figured out why an iron-based high-temperature superconductor acts contradictory, to solve a different kind of superconductor mystery.

  • Traveling By Bus Safer Than Traveling by Car, According to New Study

    According to a new study from the Université de Montréal Public Health Research Institute (IRSPUM), taking a bus is far safer than taking a car to your destination as well as being much safer for cyclists and pedestrians traveling along the same route.

  • New Device That Detects Credit Card Skimmers

    How can you tell if the ATM or pay-at-the-pump card reader you are using has been compromised by a credit card skimmer? A team of researchers from the University of Florida wants to answer that question using a new device.

  • Smart Windows are an Illuminating Development

    Window glass incorporating micro mirrors functions as compound parabolic concentrator lenses to optimally reflect sunlight with low restrictions in visibility.

  • New Tech System Bends Light to Offer Wider Light Angles for Augmented Reality

    North Carolina State University engineering and physics researchers have created a new technology that steers light in a way that results in more light input and greater efficiency.

  • BWXT Announces Breakthrough Medical Isotope Manufacturing Technology
