  • Drones Versus Trucks

    According to a study published in Transportation Research Part D, drone use reduces carbon dioxide emissions in certain instances when measured against trucks.

  • Squeezing Fresh Water from Waste Brine

    A team of Engineers from the University of California, Riverside, has developed a technique for recovering 100 percent of the water from highly concentrated salt solutions reducing water shortages in arid regions and reducing concerns about the disposal of high salinity brine.

  • Hybrid Bus Drives on Diesel and Liquid Nitrogen

    Initial trials have been completed for CE Power, a hybrid bus propelled by both diesel fuel and liquid nitrogen.

  • The First Commercial Direct Air Capture CO2 Plant Goes Online

    In a May 31 press release, Swiss company Climeworks announced the launch of the world’s first commercial carbon dioxide capture plant.

  • Unpacking Frank Lloyd Wright at 150

    The exhibition comprises nearly 400 works, including architectural drawings, models, building fragments, films, television broadcasts, print media, furniture, tableware, textiles, paintings, photographs, and scrapbooks.

  • Why use aluminum alloy conductors?

    When is aluminum a good choice as a conductor material? The optimal conductor material depends on the specific applications such as microelectronics, PCBs, electronic connectors, electrical power cable, electrical power connectors or lugs, electric vehicles and circuit breaker electrical contacts. Material properties influencing selection include conductivity or resistivity, density, tensile strength, hardness, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, CTE and wear properties. The applications best suited to utilize the properties and advantages of aluminum alloy conductor are identified. How are conductivity, resistivity, resistance (R) and resistivity density factor related?

  • The Benefits of Asset Recovery in the Manufacturing Industry

    Ever wonder where your circuit boards, motors and other electronic parts end up when you’re finished using them? According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), most meet their end in landfills, and sadly, many could be recycled and reused.

  • What is a Laser Engraver and What Can It Do?

    Laser engraving, a subset of laser marking, is a process where the laser beam physically removes the surface of the material to expose a cavity that reveals an image at eye level.

  • EC Approves Areva Nuclear Sale to EDF

    The transaction, expected to be completed by the end of 2017, is "unlikely to raise competition concerns,"the European Commission said.

  • Higher Resolution Electrode Array Maps Brain During Surgery

    A redesigned electrode grid used during neurosurgery provides higher resolution neural readings than existing tools and could lead to safer, more precise brain surgeries.

  • Smugglers Beware

    Smugglers may have an even tougher time bringing illegal substances, weapons, radioactive material and chemical warfare agents into Europe now that scientists are developing technologies that will detect anything from illegal substances to a stowaway in shipping containers.

  • Republic Expands Use of Biogas as Vehicle Fuel

    Republic Services says it will increase its use of renewable natural gas by three times what it used in 2016 through an expanded agreement with Clean Energy.

  • What Futuristic Transport Will You See in Your Lifetime?

    From driverless cars, to supersonic trains and space elevators, find out how you could be traveling from A to B in the not so distant future.

  • Boil Off Gas Compressor for LNG-fueled Vessels

    The system offers both financial and environmental benefits for users, including energy efficiency gains and fuel cost reductions.

  • Omal Introduces New Ball Valve for Chemical Applications

    Omal has introduced the Pro-Chemie 60 stainless steel ball valve specifically designed for the chemical industry.

  • Three Mile Island Nuke to Close in 2019: Exelon

    The 852 MW nuclear power plant will close in September 2019 unless "needed policy reforms" are enacted, its owners says.

  • New Technology Keeps Elderly Safe at Home

    Researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering IESE in Kaiserslautern, Germany, with the goal of giving the elderly a sense of security in their own homes without invading their privacy, have developed a new technology concept that can offer both assistance in the case of a fall without invasive cameras and is also a communication tool offering access to nursing consultants.

  • Austin Energy to Deploy Battery Energy Storage

    Austin Energy will deploy a 1.75 megawatt, 3.2 megawatt-hour battery storage system as part of a U.S. Department of Energy initiative known as the SHINES project.

  • New Tool Improves Oil Spill Assessment

    The information obtained could help responders predict toxicity of spilled oil, how far it might travel, and how long it would likely stay in the environment.

  • Watch: Just in time for summer travel, air traffic control upgrades are in place. A drone has helped disaster responders assess tornado damage. You may not need to toss those running shoes just yet.
