  • Floating Solar PV System Available in Europe

    The solar array is made up of PV modules mounted on top of a galvanized steel assembly which in turn sits on top of high-density polyethylene floats. The entire installation is anchored in place by nylon cables.

  • Test Method Helps Determine Aluminum Alloy Composition

    The method uses inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry to gauge if an alloy’s composition is within the needed limits.

  • Engineering a 450-ton Hydraulic Deep Draw Press

    A custom-designed 450-ton hydraulic deep draw press will feature a 54-in. by 54-in. forming area.

  • 7-Eleven Slurps Up Texas Wind to Power Stores

    The 96-month wind energy agreement starts June 1, 2018, and is expected to reduce 7-Eleven’s carbon footprint by 6.7%.

  • The Next Level for Respiratory Protection

    A new half-mask provides complete respiratory protection, low breathing resistance, and increased comfort and fit.

  • Seaweed: From Superfood to Superconductor

    Seaweed, the edible algae with a long history in some Asian cuisines, and which has also become part of the Western foodie culture, could turn out to be an essential ingredient in another trend: the development of more sustainable ways to power our devices.

  • New Research Could Help Speed Up the 3-D Printing Process

    A team of researchers from Binghamton University and MIT have identified some bottlenecks in 3-D printers that, if improved, could speed up the entire process.

  • Pumps for Europe’s Largest Wastewater Project

    The ongoing renaturation project along the Emscher Canal, currently Europe’s largest wastewater project, will benefit from delivery of 21 pumps.

  • Siemens Electric Motor Powers Two Aviation Speed Records

    A Siemens electric propulsion system powered an Extra 330LE aerobatic plane to two new speed records.

  • Festo Corporation Introduces New Sanitary Valves

    Festo Corporation introduced new sanitary ball, angle seat, and pinch valves at Interphex 2017. With this introduction, Festo claims to offer seamless automation from control cabinet to pipe for steam, inert gases, water, cleaning solutions and powders applications.

  • Operating New York’s Electric Grid: Part 1

    Part of a tapestry of entities responsible for the reliable operation of North America's electric grid, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) manages the state’s competitive electricity markets and ensures the lights stay on for the state's nearly 20 million residents.
