  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Low GWP Refrigerants - Understanding GWP, GHG, ODP and Climate Change

    This is an engineer's perspective on global warming and climate from man-made gases and refrigerants. While the current administration may choose to deny the existence of climate change for their own agendas, most scientists agree that human impact has contributed to global warming and the world must control greenhouse gases (GHG).

  • Video: The Nanocar Race is On

    The vehicles, consisting of a few hundred atoms, will be powered by minute electrical pulses along a racecourse made of gold atoms.

  • The Fabric of Space, Printed by NASA

    Metallic fabrics might be used for large antennas, to shield a spacecraft from meteorites or for spacesuits.

  • High Pressure Rotary Valve Beats Air Leakage

    DMN-WESTINGHOUSE introduces a high pressure rotary valve that is suitable for applications in metering and pneumatic conveying of granular products under high pressure.

  • Seeing the Future of Eyeglass Repair

    LaserStar Technologies offers a range of manual laser welders for eyeglass repair.

  • Autonomous UAV for Pipeline Inspection

    Skyx’s SkyOne unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a sophisticated routine pipeline monitoring solution that detects and reports leaks, scans for right-of-way violations and captures and reports vegetation encroachment.

  • Judge Orders VW to Pay $2.8b in Emission Scandal

    VW pleaded guilty to conspiracy and obstruction of justice in a scheme involving nearly 600,000 diesel cars in the U.S. The cars were programmed to turn on pollution controls during testing and off while on the road.

  • Quantech Introduces QWC3 Water-cooled Scroll Chillers

    QuantechTM is introducing the QWC3 Water-cooled Scroll Chillers, which features a capacity of 50 to 200 tons, making it ideal to complement Quantech's air-cooled scroll and screw chiller lines. The QWC3 features superior efficiency to the industry average, yielding a 16-37% annual energy savings cost.

  • Cyber Manufacturing Merges Technology and Creativity

    Origami and kirigami manufacturing principles give non-manufacturers the ability to design and customize products such as chairs, lamps and desks for their own use.

  • Carbon Plan Could Be Worth $120bn in Business, Report Says

    New research identifies and evaluate 76 companies, identifying "well-positioned" and "high-potential technology developers" across oil and gas, transportation, electricity, buildings, industrial, agriculture, and waste.

  • 3-D Printing Glass Objects

    A team of researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany has developed a way to 3-D print objects made of pure glass.

  • System Sorts Granular Bulk Materials Faster and More Accurately

    Sand, gravel, coal, deicing salt or diamonds, grain, sugar, coffee or grapes and waste—a lot of everyday goods are more or less grainy. To classify this bulk material by quality and size, it must be sorted in a sophisticated process.
