  • 7 Benefits of Using Structural Steel for Your Building

    Safety, reduced construction costs and design flexibility are just some of the benefits of structural steel.

  • Continuous Emission Monitoring System Meets State and Local Regulations

    When thinking about industrial combustion processes emitting toxic gases and particulate matter into the environment, it is the large plants and utilities that come to mind. Naturally, this level of pollution requires constant monitoring and control.

  • Mass-Stream Thermal Mass Flow Technology

    Mass-Stream technology is usable for virtually any kind of gas or gas mix, provides precise control and is very compact and robust.

  • Photocatalytic Foam Removes Micropollutants from Water

    Photocatalytic nanoporous anodic metal foams use sunlight to safely remove micropollutants from water.

  • The Gender-Equality Paradox for STEM

    New research points to societies with more gender equality having a lower percentage of female graduates in STEM fields, which may help to explain why current approaches to narrow the gap have failed.

  • Watch: Electronic Skin, Drones Open Olympics, NASA Submarine

    In this edition of the Engineering360 News Brief, we'll look at self-healing electronic skin, how drones set a record of their own at the Winter Olympics and how a NASA space sub will ply Titan's oceans.

  • Saving Energy in Polymer Production With Gas Analyzer Instruments

    As a result, chemical manufacturers are always seeking ways to improve energy efficiency and to reduce emissions. One way to achieve this goal is by upgrading production lines with technologies such as gas analyzer instruments. By continuously monitoring emissions, these devices keep companies in compliance with environmental regulations while helping them to optimize productivity and reduce energy use.

  • Researchers Challenge Notion That Social Media Displaces Human Contact

    The concern that people are alienating their real-life family and friends in favor of social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter (referred to as "social displacement") is unfounded, according to research from the University of Kansas.

  • Common Household Products are Polluting the Atmosphere

    Linked to millions of premature deaths each year, vehicle emissions from automobiles have borne much of the responsibility for air pollution levels in major cities.

  • Watch How a Map App Fills Stem Cell Research Gap

    The Web Image Processing Pipeline app allows a user to interact with microscopic views of macroscopic objects.

  • Waste-to-Energy Project Moves Forward in Rotterdam

    The $250 million facility will convert up to 360,000 tons of waste into 270 million liters of methanol.

  • Battery Storage Beats Gas for Arizona Peaking Demand

    First Solar will build and operate the facility that includes a 65-megawatt solar field to charge the battery.

  • Decommissioned Crane Now a Luxury Amsterdam Apartment

    Located at KNSM-Island, the crane is a two-bedroom, three-story luxury apartment that tourists can rent for $860 (USD) a night.

  • Creating a 'Living' Windpipe Through Bottom-up Engineering

    Biomedical engineers are taking a new approach to the challenging problem of tracheal repair.

  • Low Resistance “Holey” Metal-graphene Electrical Contacts, Breakthrough for Achieving Graphene Field Effect Transistors (GFETs)

    Until now, graphene's potential for building GFETs has been limited by the low contact resistance interface between graphene devices and metal interconnect. An international group of researchers developed “holey” metal-graphene electrical contacts with low resistance.

  • Study on 'Gut Chip' Points Toward Anti-radiation Drugs

    Using organ-on-a-chip technology has made it possible to study the potential of an anti-radiation drug in a way that would be impossible via traditional clinical trials.

  • For Car Buyers in U.S. Midwest: Tool Compares Electric-drive and Traditional Vehicles

    A new-vehicle purchase guidance tool aids consumers in seven U.S. Midwest states seeking information about plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles.

  • FERC Orders Removal of Market Barriers to Energy Storage

    The FERC's final rule requires each regional grid operator to revise its tariff to establish a participation model for electric storage resources.

  • See a High-tech Kiosk Designed as a Health and Fitness Platform

    A walk-in kiosk from Connexion Health uses multiple powerful sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) for touchless, automated health assessments.

  • A Virtual Biobank to Aid Cancer Researchers

    The first virtual platform to host 3D copies of human cancer tissues is expected to revolutionize the way researchers access critical information.
