  • Hydro One Buys U.S. Utility for $5.3 Billion

    The combined entity will serve more than two million retail and industrial customers and hold assets throughout North America, including Ontario, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.

  • EV Charging Stations Set for Trans-Canada Highway

    The Canadian system being developed consists of an energy storage system, using large-format lithium-ion batteries, along with multiple outlet charging units that can be charge several EVs at once.

  • Only 36 Percent of Science Teachers Teaching in Their Field of Study

    After focusing almost entirely on early career teachers, Nixon and his team believe that only 36 percent of science teachers are teaching in the subjects they were trained in.

  • Radiopaque Glue Replaces Sutures, Guides Surgery

    The adhesive is visible in many common imaging techniques, such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound and computed tomography.

  • Video: A DNA Movie Projector?

    A primitive film recorded into DNA demonstrates the possibility of recording sequential events at the molecular level.

  • Smart Toys Minus the Batteries

    Frustrated by a mobile device's inability to hold a charge, researchers designed a child’s smart puzzle using a simple, lightweight and flexible Smart Puzzle Triboelectric Nanogenerator (SP-TENG) to both produce and store energy without having to rely on a battery.

  • Flights from Mexico to the U.S. Subject to Higher Security Measures

    Beginning immediately, laptops and tablets on flights destined for the U.S. from Mexico are now subject to stringent security measures put into place by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

  • How to Select the Right Pump for Your Chemical Application

    Chemical pumps are defined as those with the application of making, using or disposing of chemicals. They are designed and constructed out of materials that can withstand substances with varying levels of viscosity, corrosiveness and abrasiveness. Some chemical pumps are also metering pumps, which provide flow measurement and control for applications that require precise volumes of chemicals.

  • Measuring Strength of Concrete Through Light

    An epoxy coating applied to the material splits light waves and reflects it back to a photonic camera showing possible stress fractures

  • Video: A Call for Negative Emissions

    According to a new study, reducing greenhouse-gas emissions isn't enough. We need to remove the CO2 already in the air.

  • Video: 9.1 Billion Tons of Plastic Have Been Produced, Majority of Which Ends Up in Landfills

    As of 2005, only 9 percent of all plastic was recycled.

  • Fully Condensing Hydronic Boiler

    Cleaver-Brooks ClearFire®-CE (CFC-E) fully condensing hydronic boiler is a fully assembled, high-mass firetube condensing boiler with a large-water-volume pressure vessel. The boiler achieves a low-pressure drop, reducing pumping energy with no minimum flow requirements due to the high mass design.

  • 3D Printed Wearable Sensor Monitors Body Temperature in Real Time

    Worn over the ear, the device also contains a microphone to allow users to continue to hear normally.

  • Brighter, Full-Color Holograms Viewed with Low Light

    The technology could be used in a range of applications from currency and ID badges to amusement park rides and other entertainment

  • Silk Micrococoons Wrap Sensitive Molecules

    Micron-scale cocoons, invisible to the naked eye, were devised to protect particles of beneficial molecular liquid “cargo” in various products.

  • Asian Nukes Supported Growth in 2016, WNA Says

    At the end of 2016, 20 of the 61 power reactors under construction were in China, with a further 15 in India, Pakistan, and Russia. In the U.S. and Europe, retirements of reactors outstripped the rate of capacity additions.

  • Small Nuke Gets Big Backing

    SNC-Lavalin will provide Florida-based Holtec with nuclear engineering services, including supporting licensing of the SMR-160 reactor.

  • Curbing Climate Change Agents at Aging Giant Oil Fields

    The energy required to keep oil fields operating increases with age, resulting in a doubling of emissions/bbl over a 25-year operating period.

  • Programmable Thermostat? Good Device That's Largely Ignored

    For those households that use central air conditioning and have a programmable thermostat, more than two-thirds adjust temperatures without programming it.

  • 3-D Printed Sensor to Help Fight Against Waterborne Illnesses

    A 3-D printed device that can monitor drinking water in real time has been created by a team of researchers from the University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus.
