  • Missouri Utility Says "Show Me" with Battery Storage Demo

    The energy storage solution in Springfield will be deployed next to an electrical substation located southwest of Springfield. The project enables City Utilities to investigate the possibility of a utility scale battery storage system.

  • Plastic Pollution Solution: Caterpillars Chow Down on Polyethylene

    A common insect larva that eats beeswax may offer a natural solution to the unnatural problem of recalcitrant plastic waste polluting landfills and oceans.

  • Changing Colors of Nanoparticles

    Lawrence Livermore researchers have created a technique to change the color of assembled nanoparticles with an electrical stimulant.

  • Metamaterial Expands under Hydrostatic Pressure

    In the not-too-distant future, it may be possible to 3-D print virtually anything. Consider standard printers, which "synthesize" thousands of colors by using only three color cartridges. By analogy, future 3-D printers may be capable of synthesizing thousands of different material properties with a mere handful of material cartridges.

  • Glass Fiber Coating Strengthens Composite Material

    Glass fibers have many applications such as blades for wind turbines, glass fiber boats and more.

  • GE Deal in Algeria Aims to Boost Power Plant Efficiency

    GE will provide long-term operations and maintenance services for 10 power plants across Algeria with a combined generating capacity of 11 gigawatts, as well as analytics, and supply chain enhancements.

  • New National Association Focuses on Graphene Commercialization

    A new professional group, the National Graphene Association, seeks to encourage commercialization of the 2-D carbon material in the United States.

  • Dyneema® High-strength Lightweight Fabrics

    Dyneema® high-strength lightweight fabrics are 40% less dense than aramid fabrics, 30% less dense than nylon or polyester and 15 times stronger than steel. The fabric is molecular engineered to offer game-changing properties to a range of industries.

  • How a Spider Web Design Can Help Fight Cancer

    A team at a Korean research university has used the design of a spider web to develop a biosensor platform that sets a new bar for detection speed.

  • Pipe Fusion Machines for 63 to 180 mm Thermoplastic Pipe

    McElroy Manufacturing’s ACROBAT 180 pipe fusion machine is a versatile system that fuses 63 to 180 mm pipe in confined spaces. It is designed to aid field workers when replacing conventional piping systems with thermoplastic piping.

  • A Once Forgotten Element Holds Promise for the Future of Electronics

    Discovered more than 100 years ago, black phosphorus was soon forgotten when there was no apparent use for it. In what may prove to be one of the great comeback stories of electrical engineering, it now stands to play a crucial role in the future of electronic and optoelectronic devices.

  • Clean Water from a Plant-Based Membrane

    A team of researchers has developed a plant-derived material that can be used to purify water, potentially being far more effective than current petroleum-based membrane materials.

  • Plant-Based Membrane Is an Effective Water Filter

    A team of researchers has developed a plant-derived material that can be used to purify water potentially far more effectively than current petroleum-based membrane materials.

  • Watch: Walmart is deploying energy storage systems to cut its energy costs. Volvo will build electric cars in China. And who just spent $1 billion on hydro assets in New England?

  • Knee Cartilage 3-D Printed with Hydrogels

    The material is the first to match human cartilage in strength and elasticity while also remaining 3-D-printable and stable inside the body.

  • Wonder Material? Novel Nanotube Structure Strengthens Thin Films for Flexible Electronics

    Reflecting the structure of composites found in nature and the ancient world, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have synthesized thin carbon nanotube (CNT) textiles that exhibit both high electrical conductivity and a level of toughness that is about fifty times higher than the copper films currently used in electronics.

  • Graphene “Copy Machine” Creates Cheap Semiconductor Wafers

    A graphene-based peel-off technique supports the fabrication of devices from more exotic, higher-performing semiconductor materials than conventional silicon.

  • Watering Down Costs, Energy Needs of Drip Irrigation

    Optimized dripper designs can halve both the cost of solar-powered drip systems and the pumping power required to irrigate.
