HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • 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.

  • Catfishes Beware!

    Dubbed catfishes, these fake online profiles typically provide dishonest information concerning a user’s age and/or gender.

  • Warhead Verification with Sensitive Design Data Protection

    An approach for conducting verification measurements while simultaneously protecting sensitive design information is proposed.

  • Minnesota Power Signs PPA for 250 MW of Wind

    The facility will consist of up to 125 wind turbines. Vestas is anticipated to supply the wind turbines and provide maintenance services for the project.

  • SkyPower Partners with China Huayang on Solar Projects

    The partners will develop, build, and operate utility-scale solar projects in key markets worldwide to advance China's "Belt and Road Initiative."

  • Close Tolerance Punch Attachment Lowers Pouch Packaging Costs

    Interchangeable punch and die plates eliminate the need to replace the entire unit for maintenance or when different profiles are desired.

  • A New Use for Old Cars

    Instead of rotting away in a salvage yard or in someone’s driveway, researchers have imagined a different ending for some of the parts that make up vehicles.

  • Imaging Quasiparticles Could Lead to Quantum Breakthroughs

    New research may be significant for developing future applications, such as nanophotonic circuts one million times faster than current electrical circuits.

  • The Genetics of Sustainable Power Generation

    An algorithm derived from biology may help with the challenge of integrating intermittently-generated power into the electrical grid.

  • Hydromat Joins Forces with Motch & Eichele to Create Hydromat-RE Inc.

    Hydromat Inc. and The Motch and Eichele Company have teamed together to create a new company named Hydromat-RE, Inc. The new company's focus will be the refurbishing and upgrading of Legacy style Hydromat rotary transfer machines.

  • The NIST Solves 'The Case of the Aerosol Can'

    The NIST solves a dispute over the way aerosol products are labeled and sold.

  • Sandcastles Inspired New Technique to 3-D Print Silicone Rubber

    Researchers at North Carolina State University used an unlikely inspiration to 3-D printing of flexible and porous silicone rubber structures: the principles behind making sandcastles with wet sand.

  • Fluoropolymer Membranes That Fit Venting Applications

    Saint-Gobain’s ZITEX G is ideal for venting applications and others, including electrochemical gas sensors, gasketing, and chemical filtering in harsh environments. Based on a porous form of PTFE, it takes advantage of that fluoropolymer’s outstanding non-wetting attributes due to its low surface tension.

  • Flexible Polymers with a Design Inspired by Oysters

    A new technique for tuning nanoparticle assembly may lead to development of super-strong composite materials for structural applications.

  • Sensitive Hydrogen Sensor Uses Hafnium

    The optical properties of hafnium change linearly with the pressure and temperature of the material, making hafnium sensors very easy to calibrate.

  • U.S. Remains Top Petroleum and Natural Gas Producer

    The U.S. has been the world's top producer of natural gas since 2009 and the world's top producer of petroleum hydrocarbons since 2013.

  • Hyperloop Opens Dutch Test Facility

    The first European Hyperloop test facility has opened at the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands.
