  • Appealing to Love of the Ocean to Curb Plastic Pollution

    One solution, according to researchers, is to caution consumers in much the same way as cigarette companies warn about the dangers linked to smoking: with powerful images appearing on commonly used products.

  • New Approach to Ultrafast Light Pulses Discovered

    2D materials called molecular aggregates are effective light emitters; however, their potential as components for new kinds of optoelectronic devices has been limited by their relatively slow response time. Researchers at MIT, the University of California, Berkely and Northeastern University have found a way to overcome this problem.

  • Transparent and Translucent Technical Ceramics: Thinking Outside the Bulb

    A common misconception of technical ceramics is that their physical color is a basic opaque shade of white. This article explores a family of technical ceramics that is optically translucent to nearly transparent.

  • Hi-Performance Fastening Systems’ MAThread® Option Brings Level of Ease to Any Application

    These fastening systems have an anti-cross threading feature, and there are various styles of point options for customers to choose from with all head styles available.

  • Researchers Develop a Way to Convert Traffic Energy into Power

    Environmental researchers are shifting their focus to using advanced materials for roads and pavements that could generate electricity from passing traffic.

  • Dubai Awards $3.9b Contract for Solar Energy Tower

    The country’s state energy utility awarded the contract to build and run a 700 megawatt solar power plant to Shanghai Electric and Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power.

  • Research Finds Cells Can be Programmed to Fight Disease

    A team of researchers led by Professor Alfonso Jaramillo from the School of Life Sciences has discovered that a common cell—ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is produced abundantly by humans, plants and animals—can be genetically engineered to allow scientists to program the actions of a cell.
