  • Multi-process TIG and Stick Welding Machine

    Lincoln Electric’s Square Wave® TIG 200 is a portable tungsten inert gas (TIG) and stick welding machine that provides smooth and stable AC TIG welding on aluminum and DC TIG welding on steel, stainless steel and chrome-moly.

  • Get Ready for Off-the-Shelf, Power-Generating Clothing

    A lightweight jacket capable of generating enough power to light up a nighttime jogger is now a reality according to materials scientist Trisha Andrews of the University of Massachusetts.

  • High Court Ruling on Patent Case Favors Companies

    The justices ruled unanimously that patent owners must bring lawsuits only in states where the targeted company is incorporated.

  • What’s Standing Between You and Your Results?

    Engineers in every corner of the world are tasked with a straightforward yet incredibly complex challenge: solving the unsolvable. As if that weren’t enough, they’re also expected to solve the unsolvable faster and with fewer resources than ever before.

  • Honeywell Taps CH2M for Superfund Cleanup

    As part of a two-year remediation effort, the CH2M-led team will treat 150,000 cubic yards of soil near the Hudson River in New Jersey.

  • Solar Project to Help Country Shift from Imported Energy

    Alten Energías Renovables will develop, execute, and operate a 45.5 megawatt (power) solar power system in Namibia.

  • Charging an Electric Car Without the Plug

    Ideally, a person driving over certain streets outfitted with the technology would be able to charge their car without having to park (or even slow down) and plug the vehicle in.

  • Solar PV System Breaks Ground at Vandenberg Air Base

    The 28 MW system will be installed just outside the gates and the base will buy energy generated by the plant under a 25-year power purchase agreement.

  • Device to Prevent Runner Injury

    The mobile biofeedback device offers footstrike modification to prevent running injuries or to offer rehabilitation to already injured runners.

  • What Chemical Lab Equipment is Most Popular Among Engineers?

    In order to understand what type of chemical lab equipment is of interest to engineers, we need to better understand of the type of engineer or scientist looking for the equipment and the tasks they need to perform. Chemical engineers, chemists and materials engineers typically have very different job functions. Non-technical people do not really understand the difference between a “chemical engineer” and a “chemist”. Chemical engineers do not develop or engineer chemicals per se. Most chemical engineers do not really use “chemical lab equipment”. Chemical engineers develop and run chemical processes.

  • Novel Microbial Fuel Cell Converts Methane to Electricity

    A new method for producing electricity directly from methane could greatly reduce the amount of methane leakage from pipelines. The method relies on microbial fuel cells located near methane gas wellheads.

  • NASA Adds up Record Australia Rainfall

    Earlier this month, northeastern Australia was hit with extreme rainfall. It was the heaviest to date since tropical cyclone Debbie hit Queensland Australia in late March.

  • FPL Plans to Close Another Coal Plant in Its Pivot to Gas

    The power plant is currently one of the highest-cost generating facilities for FPL to operate and maintain. Advances in technology make power generation from natural gas and solar more cost-effective.

  • World's Largest Floating PV Power Plant Now Grid-connected

    Sungrow supplied inverters to connect the 40 megawatt floating photovoltaic system to the grid in Huainan, China.

  • Heavy-duty Drawer Slides with 600lbs. Payload

    Accuride’s enhanced 9300 heavy duty drawer slides were re-engineered to provide greater payload, smoother operation, and increased life expectancy. Enhancements include a load rating up to 600 lbs. with full extension. They accommodate drawers up to 42” wide, require 0.75” side space and are available in lengths from 10” to 60”.

  • Holograms: The Future of Electronic Devices

    The nano-hologram created by researchers can be seen without 3-D goggles and is 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. Producing the hologram by fast direct laser writing will allow for its mass production in the very near future.

  • Dual-clutch Module for Auto Transmissions

    Initially used in the dual-clutch transmission for V6 and V8 biturbo gasoline engines and a V8 biturbo diesel engine, the technology is also expected to be used in hybrid vehicle applications.

  • Satellite to Bolster FAA Aircraft Navigation Systems

    The payload is an element of the WAAS System, which offers commercial, business, and general aviation pilots more direct flight paths, greater runway capability and precision approaches to airports and remote landing sites.

  • Using AI to Aid Humanitarian Efforts

    Using a newly developed AI algorithm that can accurately identify the gender of a pre-paid cell phone user may expedite help to vulnerable groups like woman and children in an emergency situation, according to researchers.

  • Air Pollution May Lead to Sleepless Nights

    Air pollution may be affecting more than just your breathing. According to a new study, it may also be disrupting your sleep.
