  • Better Global Foodborne Disease Monitoring

    Calling to improve the detection of and response to foodborne illnesses and outbreaks, PulseNet International — a global system of public health laboratory networks — is advocating for the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) by public health institutes and laboratories worldwide.

  • Industrial Gel Pack Rolls Keep Your Products Cool

    ThermaFreeze’s industrial Gel Pack Rolls can cool a large number of things or an item that is especially large or irregularly shaped.

  • Monolithic Box Culverts from Oldcastle Precast

    Monolithic box culverts from Oldcastle Precast are one-piece, rectangular, four-sided concrete structures used in managing and storing storm water or natural water sources that need to circumvent built structures, such as a roadway that is built over a stream.

  • Oil, Water and Nanotech

    Researchers have used magnetic nanoparticles to develop an efficient method for removing oil from water.

  • Video: Understanding How the Brain Works May Pave the Way for Better Vision for Robotics and Self-Driving Cars

    If we don’t understand how our brains recognize vision, how can we program computers to do it?

  • A Planet Hotter Than the Sun

    A newly discovered world is so hot that it’s pushing the definition of what scientists consider a planet. With a daytime temperature of 4,600 K (more than 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit) planet KELT-9b is hotter than most stars, and only 1,200 degrees Kelvin (2,000 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler than the sun.

  • At the Intersection of Fashion and Science

    A high-tech fashion design business started by MIT grads includes innovations like a 3-D robotic knitting machine.

  • Insight: a Climatic Case for Nuclear Power

    How can we adopt a systemic approach and make sure nuclear energy and other promising zero-carbon power technologies fit together effectively?

  • New Material that Scrubs Iodine from Water Could Potentially Clean Radioactive Waste

    The porous material was created by chemically stitching small organic molecules to form a framework.

  • Recording Buzz Activity of Bees May be Key to Saving Their Dwindling Population

    An Acoustic listening system can eavesdrop on bees to determine flight and pollination rituals

  • Women in Engineering: Unintended Consequences of Promotion

    A purposeful increase of female representation in the managerial ranks of engineering firms may add another layer of sex segregation.

  • Engineering Intern Leaves Her Mark on Campus

    A recent college graduate landed an internship helping to build a new $50 million Aerospace and Engineering Sciences Building at her own university, leaving concrete evidence that her alma mater prepared her well for her future.

  • LADWP Puts a Hold on $2b in Power Plant Projects

    The California municipal utility put on hold all planned local repowering projects until a system-wide, in-depth, and independent study/analysis is completed.

  • New Ecofriendly Waterproofing Materials Developed

    A new type of waterproofing and antifouling/fogging materials has been developed by Swansea University scientists in the Energy Safety Research Institute (ESRI). This material could replace the expensive and hazardous materials that are currently in use.

  • NYC Orders Solar Powered EV Charging Stations

    The charging station fits inside a parking space and generates enough solar electricity to power up to 225 miles of EV driving in a day.

  • Water Suppresses Rocket-liftoff Sound

    NASA’s clever solution to sound-dampening during rocket launches is just that: using water—900,000 gallons a minute—to absorb the sound energy.

  • Sustainable Agriculture with Lasers

    Scientists hoping to avoid the use of herbicides and the labor involved with physically removing weeds—both challenging to sustainable agriculture—are developing a tool that would instead both identify and eliminate weeds.

  • 12-Story Wooden "Plyscraper" to Grow in Portland District

    Officials in Portland, Ore., approved plans for a 90,000-square-foot, 12-story, mixed-use project that will rank as one of the tallest timber high-rises to be built in North America.

  • Video: Project Wing Just Took a Major Step Toward Successful Drone Delivery

    Google‘s Project Wing, a drone and automated aircraft delivery service that is quickly jumping over all the hurdles. This week, the drones successfully passed tests by the FAA and NASA for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

  • Australian Company Develops An "Artificial Blowhole" To Harness Wave Power

    An Australian company has developed a device described as an “artificial blowhole” to generate wave power.
