  • Takata Expands Airbag Recall as Tests Show More Risks

    The company added 2.7 million vehicles to the recall from Ford, Nissan and Mazda, all with a type of inflator that previously was thought to be safe.

  • How Abrasive Blasting with ARMEX™ Works

    When baking soda impacts a substrate, the impact energy is transferred back into the baking soda crystal itself, which gets fractured and blown apart. The substrate remains unchanged.

  • Governments, Schools Not Communicating Most Effective Steps To Combat Climate Change

    The study from Lund University (which consulted 39 peer-reviewed papers, carbon calculators and government reports to arrive at their conclusion) details the four actions that would significantly reduce an individual’s carbon footprint: having fewer children, cutting air travel, getting rid of personal cars and maintaining a plant-based diet.

  • New Coating Takes the Heat Off Hypersonic Travel

    Aircraft moving at Mach 5 or greater are exposed to temperatures of 2,000° C to 3,000° C, which can undermine structural integrity.

  • Identifying Trees Through Chemical Fingerprints

    In an effort to combat the illegal harvesting of trees from protected areas, scientists from Oregon USDA Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Station have come up with a way to determine where a piece of wood originated by unearthing the piece of wood’s unique chemical structure.

  • NASA’s Juno Spacecraft Flies Over Jupiter's Great Red Spot

    This is the first time the agency will get a close look at the iconic feature.

  • Video: Watch a Parrot Use a Touchscreen to Determine How Birds Explore New Objects

    Researchers are investigating how individual birds, not as a species, are willing to explore and try new things

  • Video: Watch a Parrot Use a Touchscreen to Determine How Birds Explore New Objects

    Researchers are investigating how individual birds, not as a species, are willing to explore and try new things.

  • Internal Pipe Coating Provides High-Temp Protection

    The thermosetting epoxy powder provides excellent chemical resistance in temperatures up to 150° C (302° F).

  • New Turbocharger Boosts 1.0-Liter Gasoline Engines

    BorgWarner has delivered its wastegate turbocharger for Honda’s new three-cylinder 1.0-liter gasoline direct-injected engine.

  • AES and Siemens Team on Energy Storage Venture

    The joint venture will bring together AES’ 10 years of deploying energy storage in seven countries with Siemens’ energy technology and sales presence in more than 160 countries.

  • Thinking Thin for Semiconductors

    A new technique for making integrated circuits on thin layers has implications for electronics performance advantages and reduced cost.

  • Surgical Tool Dissolves Inside the Body

    An elastomer-based retractor is left behind in the abdominal cavity and dissolves within three hours of surgery.

  • Keep Drinking Coffee!

    Those of us who drink many cups of coffee every day knew it! Drinking coffee prolongs your life. Now, a study by a research team at the University of Southern California (USC) has confirmed it. They found that people who incorporate this concoction into their daily diet could avoid heart attacks, several types of cancer, liver disease, Parkinson's disease, Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases with a probability of up to 18 percent, compared to those who do not drink coffee.

  • New App Offers Real-time Reports About Slope, Hiking Trail Conditions

    Bringing social media to the slopes, two researchers have developed an app that reports the real-time conditions of ski slopes, hiking trails and other outdoor activities to help keep participants safe and informed.

  • Submarine Groundwater Discharge: An Overlooked Water Resource

    The water resource is valued for drinking, hygiene, agriculture, fishing, tourism, culture or ship navigation.

  • Nuclear to Coal to Hydrogen: Sheldon Station Blazes a Trail

    Engineers advance plans to convert a 125 MW power plant from coal to hydrogen. Doing so would make the plant the largest hydrogen-fueled electric power station in the U.S.

  • Faraday Future Drops Plans for $1bn EV Plant

    The company says it now will look for an existing facility to produce its electric vehicles in California or Nevada.

  • Oil Spills Impact on "Food Webs"

    While it is commonly understood that oil spills negatively impact species and habitats, recent research has been delving into how far reaching that impact truly is.

  • Wave Energy System Advances for Seawater Desalination
