  • MW Industries Acquired by American Securities

    MW Industries announced that MWI was acquired by affiliates of American Securities in partnership with MWI management on September 29, 2017.

  • SeaWalk Offers Cruise Lines Larger Ships and More Remote Ports of Call

    Docks or piers are not always available at the new or deeper ports of call that are increasingly required for larger cruise ships. SeaWalk™ self-propelled floating piers has been deployed at many of these ports as they offer lesser environmental impacts, lower cost, and faster installation time.

  • Better Organic Solar Cells Made with Microfossils

    Fossilized diatoms were incorporated as light traps to increase the power conversion efficiency of polymer solar cells.

  • Massive Hydroelectric Project Gets a Second Look

    A multi-billion-dollar, 1,100 MW hydroelectric power dam with a potential lifespan of 100 years is under scrutiny by utility regulators.

  • The Water Conservation Benefit of Cool Roof Technology

    In addition to reducing the urban heat island effect, cool roofs can also enhance water conservation.

  • Engineers Claim Breakthrough in Offshore Wind Construction

    University of Delaware researchers say that their process could cost up to $1.6 billion less per project than conventional approaches and take half the construction time.

  • PREPA OKs $300M Puerto Rico Grid Repair Contract

    Montana-based Whitefish Energy has been working for PREPA since September 26 to repair and reconstruct electrical transmission infrastructure on the island.

  • New Ways to Separate Your Methane from Your Carbon Dioxide

    A novel type of polymeric membrane is introduced for effective separation of methane and carbon dioxide, essential for the production of natural gas and biogas.

  • Watch: Human Fertilization Meets 'Star Wars'

    Scientists gained new molecular-scale process insight when they used a Star Wars motif to create this engaging video depicting the fight for supremacy among sperm.

  • Smart Power Electronic Converters May Help Stabilize the Grid

    IEEE Fellow Qing-Chang Zhong credits his Chinese heritage and its 5,000 years of cultural history for shaping his view of grid stability.

  • High-performance Composite Acoustic Lagging

    Unique construction combines the superior transmission loss performance of the noise barrier with the high absorption properties of the decoupling, non-combustible glass-wool.

  • Manufacturing Shift Is Driving Down Energy Intensity

    The energy intensity decrease for total manufacturing is mostly the result of a shift of manufacturing output from energy-intensive industries to less energy-intensive industries.

  • Energy Exports Expand as China, Mexico Buy More

    Following the removal of restrictions on exporting U.S. crude oil under the Obama Administration, total volumes of crude oil exports and the number of destinations for those exports both increased.

  • Modular Class 0.5S (kWh) Three-phase Power Analyzer

    Monitor and manage the electrical power to everything from building automation systems, manufacturing cells, facilities or single machines with a modular class 0.5S (kilowatt hour) three-phase power analyzer. The device is capable of sensing instantaneous electrical variables, harmonic distortion and energy generation or consumption.

  • Coal Can Still Lose Despite Pro-Coal Policies

    Pro-natural gas policies at the federal level, along with the goal of expanding both coal and natural gas supplies, would cut gas prices and continue to favor the fuel for electric power generation, new analysis says.

  • Online Ads to Track Your Location, App Use

    Researchers from the University of Washington believe that smartphone ads purchased for the purpose of tracking a consumer's movements and app habits can be acquired for as little as $1,000.

  • A Century of Australian Automaking Is Over

    The last car, a red Commodore V8 sedan headed for a museum, rolled off the line with around 1,000 people in attendance.

  • Insect Population Experiencing Alarming Decline

    Scientists observing over 60 protected areas in Germany for nearly 30 years are troubled by a significant decline in the insect population.

  • Dubai Is Home to World's Largest Solar Park

    A 700 MW extension to the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park recently approved by the government of Dubai will make it the largest single-site concentrated solar power (CSP) project in the world.

  • SR-72 Hypersonic Aircraft Will Travel at Six Times the Speed of Sound

    In development at Lockheed Martin’s Skunk Works, the optionally piloted aircraft will have long range strike and reconnaissance capabilities and a top speed twice as fast as its predecessor, the SR-71 Blackbird.
