  • Operating New York’s Electric Grid: Part 2

    To ensure power is affordable for consumers while providing fair compensation for suppliers, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) runs a wholesale electricity market based on a methodology known as locational based marginal pricing (LBMP) and a two-settlement process with day-ahead and real-time bid markets.

  • Facilitating Global Material Sourcing

    All elements of product development happen at breakneck speed today and material sourcing is no exception. The need for smart materials, designing new products specifically for the Internet of Things, and such demanding industries as medical, aerospace, and automotive, impact the sourcing and

  • Material Sourcing Made Easy

    Material sourcing can be an inefficient, challenging and expensive process. Especially when undertaken by a small organization without teams in place to search out what materials fit, the task can be especially daunting.

  • The Link Between Air Pollution and Chronic Runny Nose

    The connection between asthma and breathing in air pollutants (smog, ash, etc.) is well-documented. However, there is very little research available making that same connection to upper respiratory illnesses, including sinusitis and other sinus illnesses that cause pressure, inflammation, pain, congestion and stuffy or runny noses.

  • Work to Proceed on Nuke Under Interim Agreement

    SCANA Corp. and Santee Cooper extended an interim agreement with Westinghouse Electric Co. to allow work to continue on the V.C. Summer nuclear power plant project.

  • Watch: A $10 billion gas export project may be ready to set sail. You’ll see what it’s taken Britain more than a century to achieve. And we’ll tell you where automaker Kia plans to spend $1 billion.
