  • SpaceX to Become the First Private Company to Re-fly an Orbital Spacecraft

    The Dragon cargo ship will demonstrate spacecraft reusability, which is critically important to making space more accessible. It will also be carrying almost 6,000 pounds of cargo, including supplies and equipment for experiments aboard the International Space Station.

  • A Mild Winter Boosts the Remodeling Market Index in Q1

    In good news for U.S. contractors and the construction industry, the National Association of Home Builder’s Remodeling Market Index (RMI) rose to from 53 to 58 this quarter, with average spending per home improvement expected to be $6,148.

  • Exoskeleton Gives Lowe's Store Staff a Boost

    A prototype lightweight exosuit reduces worker fatigue and increases worker capabilities for those whose tasks involve a lot of walking and lifting.

  • The Right Mesh for the Right Job

    Woven filters aren’t that simple, and industrial as well as consumer devices often require much more demanding performance. In every case, there are many criteria when designing or specifying characteristics for a needed filter that has been optimized for a particular need.

  • Energy Storage Projects Enter Service in Arizona

    A 10 megawatt lithium titanium oxide energy storage facility and accompanying 2 MW solar array entered service at the University of Arizona's Tech Park.

  • Predicting Lifespan with Artificial Intelligence

    Using artificial intelligence to predict when a person will die based on medical images of patients’ internal organs is closer to development thanks to research from the University of Adelaide.

  • Horizontal Pump Installation for More Versatility

    The pumps are for applications in water distribution, water treatment, cooling water supply, boiler feed, and pressure boosting.

  • Built in the U.S.A.: Improving a Bridge's Seismic Resistance

    A Seattle bridge uses memory-retaining metal rods and bendable concrete composite that enable the span to flex when the ground shakes, then snap back into its original shape once the shaking ends.

  • New Materials Changing The Face of Engineering

    Advances in the 3-D printing, nanotechnology and biochemistry fields have changed the face of engineering with new materials such as graphene, viton and shrilk.

  • Flood Mitigation Project Nets Teen an EPA Award

    The project used historical flood and urban land use data, landscape imagery, GIS software, and streamflow modeling to project how severe floods might be in four urban stream basins.

  • Testing DIY Graphene

    Given its recent discovery, one would expect graphene to be difficult to make, requiring clean rooms and extensive laboratory equipment, but this isn’t the case. In fact, graphene is some thing that can be made in a variety of ways in very ordinary environments. This has led to a cottage industry of DIYers making and working with graphene.

  • Your Rooftop PV Solar Is Part of a Growing Trend, EIA Says

    Small-scale PV generation nearly doubled from 2014 to 2016. But its share of total solar PV generation fell as utility-scale solar PV generation rose even faster.

  • Retention Ponds May Not be Retaining Much

    Because it is inexpensive and works effectively at lower temperatures, road salt (sodium chloride) is widely used by most municipalities to keep winter roadways clear.

  • Windshield Designed for Container Ships

    Along with reducing wind resistance, the device reduces carbon dioxide emissions by an average of 2 percent.

  • Take a Deep Dive into Proppant Performance with Saint-Gobain’s All-new Well Worth It Experience!

    Proppants have a tough job. They must retain fracture width and height, and provide sufficient conductivity to the fracture in downhole application conditions. How they do their job depends on their environment.

  • Earlier Cancer Detection Made Possible by University of Illinois Engineers

    Early detection of cancer cells will be the culmination of medicine, requiring many new methods and developments along the way. One such method has been presented by a research team at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign College of Engineering.

  • Beware Your Software

    If you think that you are immune to workplace injuries because you sit in front of a computer, think again. Researchers have found that a poorly designed software package can produce hand and wrist problems.

  • NASA to Launch Probe to "Touch the Sun"

    The spacecraft will gather data on how stars work to improve forecasts of major space weather events

  • Honeywell to Supply Power Units to VietJet

    The agreement runs through 2022 and includes maintenance for 12 years. The total value of the contract is over $100 million.

  • Video: Hyperloop Aims to Create Innovative High-speed Travel Using Magnets

    High-speed mass transit is the next step in technology that researchers and scientists around the world are focusing on. Hyperloop is leading the way to fast, environmentally friendly pod transit.
