  • Global Warming Responsible for Losses in Wine Industry?

    Working in conditions of up to 36 degrees Celsius, productivity of grape pickers in the wine industry is affected by higher temperatures, as the heat impacts their metabolic and cardiovascular systems, lowering their output.

  • Contracts Let for UK High-Speed Rail Project

    The $8.63 billion Phase One is due for completion in 2026. Work extending the line should be completed by 2027.

  • Hackers Guessing at Passwords, PINs Thanks to Headsets

    With only a handful of EEG (electroencephalograph) headsets on the market, researchers are calling for improved methods of securing the devices.

  • Making Polycarbonates from Lemon

    Because many everyday products are produced using polycarbonates (for instance, airplane windows and phone cases), several million tons of polycarbonate are created globally each year. Wanting to cut down on the amount of BPA used in the production of polycarbonates, researchers discovered a substitute.

  • A Human Heart Created with a 3-D Printer

    There are more than 25 million people on Earth that suffer from heart failure who are waiting for a donor heart. To satisfy all is a gargantuan task because there is always a shortage. While these patients wait for a donor, artificial blood pumps keep them alive. It has been an ongoing research effort by engineers and doctors to create an artificial heart that mimics the functions of the human heart.

  • ARENA Supports Tidal Energy Mapping in Australia

    A three-year project will produce an online atlas mapping tidal energy nationwide to the nearest 500 meters.

  • The Unfulfilled Promise of Chemical Lasers

    Despite the performance advantages of chemical lasers, the Department of Defense stopped all development of chemical laser systems with the termination of the Airborne Laser Testbed in 2012. It's a shame, because chemical lasers are some of the most interesting types of lasers that exist.

  • Advanced Fuel Promises Safer Operations at Vogtle Nuclear Plant
