    Last Thursday, a Canadian passenger plane was struck by a drone mid-flight, becoming the first drone-plane collision reported in that country to date.

  • 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.

  • Watch: The Pope on Twitter, Your Name on Mars and Robots Screwing in Light Bulbs

    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

    A carbon dioxide capture system designed and operated by Air Products and Chemicals has collected and transported its 4-millionth metric ton of CO2.

  • Liquid Suspension Physics: Impact on Manufacturing

    New research has established that the surface texture of microparticles in a liquid suspension can cause internal friction that significantly alters the suspension’s viscosity. There may be industrial applications ranging from biopharmaceuticals to chemical manufacturing.

  • Rayfrigeration: a Solar-Powered Transport Refrigeration Unit

    The zero-emissions unit completed a five-month trial on a truck delivering fresh dairy products throughout Fresno, Calif.

  • Flexible Optical Fiber Peers Inside the Body

    The biodegradable optical fiber safely delivers light into the body for medical applications.

  • Air Pollution and Greenhouse Costs of Oil Transport

    Air pollution and greenhouse gas costs of shipping crude by rail are nearly twice as large as those for oil pipelines.
