  • The Proper Use of Soda Blasting Equipment Using ARMEX™

    While baking soda is a well-known cleaning agent, there are a few things to note before getting to work.

  • Wastewater Testing Could Give Early Warning System for Preventing Epidemics

    Experts from the University of Bath and Stellenbosch University, South Africa, are jointly developing a notification system to alert communities to concerns with sewage systems.

  • Female STEM Professionals Ask Fewer Questions Than Male Counterparts

    Although it is no secret that fewer women are working in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) fields than men, what isn’t known is why these women are largely quiet particularly during STEM-related conferences.

  • Ironmaking 101 – From Ore to Iron with Smelting and Direct Iron Reduction

    While the blast furnace remains an important tool for ironmaking, newer technologies such as smelting and direct iron reduction are available to produce iron with minimal byproduct generation and slag-free hot metal. Smelting reduction and direct iron reduction can reduce energy input, lower greenhouse gas emissions and minimize slag byproduct generation, resulting in overall cost, productivity and life cycle enhancements.

  • Synthetic Bionano Membrane Converts Visible Light to Hydrogen

    A synthetic purple membrane uses completely synthetic bionano machinery to harvest light without the need for a living cell.

  • 2018 Oil Production Looks Like a Gusher, EIA Says

    Production is expected to average 9.9 million b/d, passing the previous high of 9.6 million b/d set in 1970.

  • Ingestible Sensor Gauges GI Tract Motility

    The flexible sensor adheres to the stomach wall and tracks rhythmic contractions of the digestive tract.

  • Video: This Ultra-Thin Concrete Is Set for First Use

    Thanks to the technology and an adaptive solar façade, the residential unit is expected to generate more energy than it consumes.

  • FERC Approves New Pipeline Projects

    The certificates granted by the commission came with multiple conditions, and other necessary permits for both projects are still pending.

  • Airplane and Drone Collide in Canada

  • Swiss Team Wins Solar Decathlon

    The team also took first place in the engineering competition with a perfect score of 100 points.

  • Clams, Worms Responsible for as much Greenhouse Gas as 20,000 Cows

    According to recent research, ocean clams and worms are responsible for the release of significant amounts of harmful greenhouse gases (methane and nitrous oxide) into the atmosphere in levels almost equal to the amounts emitted by 20,000 dairy cows.

  • Some U.S. Police Departments Considering Gun Cameras

    A handful of police departments in the United States are testing out gun-mounted cameras to give a close-up account of officer–involved shootings.

    This week's edition of the Engineering360 news brief includes a Twitter milestone for the Pope, how to get your name onto a NASA mission headed for Mars and the answer to how many robots it takes to screw in a light bulb.

  • Wave Energy Generator Starts Sea-Based Tests

    A wave energy generator designed to power approximately 5,000 homes has entered sea testing stage.

  • Watch a Self-Propelled Catheter for Lung Biopsies

    The device could help doctors reach areas of the lung that can be tricky to access using conventional bronchoscopes.

  • MoMA Explores How the Design of “Items” Influences Culture

    The exhibition is a compilation of basic pieces that tell the history of modern design, through the lenses of geography, culture, subculture, politics and society, while considering the relationship of the objects to labor, identity, economy and technology.

  • The Truth About the Light Vehicle Diesel Engine in Three Minutes

    Despite a series of setbacks, the light vehicle diesel market is poised for growth. In July of 2017, Porsche recalled 22,000 vehicles and received a suspension of its diesel vehicle's certification. It was followed by the diesel summit in Berlin that resulted in a large-scale software upgrade for five million newer diesel cars in Germany. These actions, however, overshadowed a certificate of conformity for other light vehicle diesel engine manufacturers as the benefits of light vehicle diesel propel manufacturers to bring higher performance engines to the market.

  • A 4 Million Metric Ton Milestone for CO2-Capture Project
