  • Video: Intelligent Use of Aviation Lights at Wind Farms

    If an approaching airplane is detected within the 8 km range of the system’s radar, it monitors distance, speed, and heading to determine whether or not the aviation lights are to be activated.

  • New Degrees of Freedom for Carbon Fiber

    Researchers report printing several complex 3D structures through a modified Direct Ink Writing 3D printing process. They also developed and patented a new chemistry that can cure the material in seconds instead of hours.

  • New Nanofiber Marks Important Step in Next Generation Battery and Water Electrolysis Development

    One of the keys to building electric cars that can travel longer distances, or powering more homes with renewable energy, is developing efficient and highly-capable energy storage systems.

  • The Computational Capabilities of Spiders

    Researchers theorize that spiders use their webs as signal processing devices, sending vibrations throughout these complex structures and measuring the resulting vibration patterns.

  • New Process Takes a Giant Step Toward In-Home Printing

    New process combines better quality with low cost and less waste, a giant step toward home 3-D printing.

  • Adaptive Drill Bit May Help Ease Downhole Dysfunction

    The TerrAdapt bit uses self-adjusting depth-of-cut control elements, and changes its aggressiveness based on the formation through which it is drilling to mitigate vibrations, stick-slip, and impact loading.

  • 725 MW Power Plant Enters Service in Maryland

    The CPV St. Charles Energy Center is a combined-cycle natural gas-fired electric power generating facility using two GE 7F.05 gas turbines and a GE D402 steam turbine.
