  • Using Light to Manipulate Water May Open Door to New Microfluidic Diagnostic Devices

    The project could be used to separate oil from water at an oil drilling rig or for use in repealing water from a surface

  • Detecting Climate Change Fingerprints on Extreme Weather

    A group of researchers, led by Noah Diffenbaugh of Stanford, is developing an outline for a four-step “framework” for testing whether global warming has contributed to record-setting weather events.

  • Uber and Embraer to Explore VTOLs for Commuters

    Uber Elevate Network could allow the development and deployment of small electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles for urban commutes.

  • Compressors Cut Energy Costs for Large Manufacturing Facilities

    High capacity compressors deliver up to a €40,000 ($43,734 USD) energy cost savings over a two-year period per compressor.

  • Britain Goes Coal-Free for 24 Hours, a First in 130 Years

    The April 21 milestone is the first time the nation has not used coal to generate electricity since a coal-fired power plant opened in 1882 at Holborn Viaduct in London.

  • Subsidy-Free Wind Projects Awarded to DONG Energy

    DONG Energy made bids to German authorities that include no subsidy on top of the wholesale electricity price, moving wind energy closer to parity with conventional generation resources.

  • Auto Plant Opens to Meet Indonesian Demand

    The manufacturing plant will begin producing a sports utility vehicle, the Pajero Sport, which will be followed by an a seven-seater multi-purpose vehicle and the COLT L300 light commercial vehicle.

  • Bonding Tapes: A Strong Option for Many Applications

    Compared to fasteners, bonding tapes are faster and easier to apply, obsoletes the need for drilled holes which could cause leaks, and require much less labor time and cost to apply.

  • Are Machines Changing Our Values?

    Are the machines we’ve come to rely upon causing us to abandon our core values?

  • Bombardier to Provide Rail Cars for Chinese Railroad

    The contract for five 8-car trainsets is valued at $79 million and follows a separate contract for 144 high speed cars announced in early March.

  • New Ultrasonic Clothes Dryer Design Cuts Energy, Time and Lint

    Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, working in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy and General Electric, have built a prototype ultrasonic clothes dryer that does not use heat.

  • NEMA and IEC Motor to Gearhead Adapters

    Gearing Solutions NEMA and IEC motor to gearhead adapters are lightweight, sturdy, and easy to mount. Their minimum axial dimension combines with their GHP Planetary line to create NEMA gearheads that are easy to maintenance.

  • AFLAS® FFKM - A New Ultra-high Temperature Perfluoroelastomer

    AGC Chemicals Americas, Inc. is expanding its AFLAS® Fluoroelastomer product line with an FFKM Series perfluoroelastomer that exhibits outstanding chemical resistance and ultra-high heat resistance.

  • 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.
