Exoskeleton Boosts Leg Capacity in Soldiers
The suit assists in physically demanding tasks that require repetitive or continuous kneeling, squatting or lifting.
Laser Printing with Nanoparticles Promises Advances in Medical Research
Researchers from Missouri University of Science and Technology are attempting to demonstrate how laser printing using nanoparticles will help uncover cost-effective ways to construct sturdier and safer components.
How Edge Computing Can Benefit Building Owners
A new white paper offers an overview of edge computing technology, and how this technology may enable the development of in-building and on-campus networks that commercial property developers can own, operate, and monetize.
Haptics Technology: The Story of Touch
We have created electronic devices that can engage the human senses of hearing and vision. Smell, taste and touch have been neglected for lack of technology methods to allow these devices to interact with these senses. Recently, however, the electronic world has been developing devices and methods to interface the user and the connected device so they can produce tactile feedback and kinematic feedback to the user through the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and motion to the users.
Apple Awards $200m to Corning Glass Plant
The investment will support Corning’s R&D, capital equipment needs, and glass processing.
New Technology Can Crack and Fix Passwords
Researchers at the E-Crime Investigative Technologies Laboratory at Florida State University are looking into developing more sophisticated software to crack passwords in an effort to build better passwords.
Scientists Develop More Efficient Catalytic Material
A method for smaller and more effieicent intermetallic nanoparticles for fuel cells has been discovered by researchers at Ames Laboratory and Iowa State University. This new method also uses less platinum, which is an expensive precious metal.
Tips for Preventing Preventable Hearing Loss
Hearing loss caused by prolonged exposure to music or a noisy work environment can be gradual with the first signs being missed background noises (a squeaking door, the ticking of a clock) to affected conversations.
Blockchain Advocates Target the Energy Sector
Blockchain technology can can allow millions of energy devices to transact with each other while providing support to utilities and grid operators to integrate renewable energy capacity at lower cost.
Covestro Polycarbonates Keep the Lights on in Industrial Environments
Shat-R-Shield has added a new product to its line of lightweight corrosion resistant LED fixtures – the Incoplas™ LED Hybrid.

Ductless Fume Hoods: A Versatile Solution for Laboratory Processing
Whether designing a new laboratory or updating an existing one, laboratory managers need to consider safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness when deciding on a fume hood design.
Transistor Technology Could Make the Impossible, Possible
Researchers are looking to the transistor laser to achieve much faster computer processing speeds.
High Performance Tangential Fans Penetrate New Markets and Applications
Tangential fans, also referred to as cross-flow fans (CFF), or cross-flow blowers, offer a uniform laminar flow pattern without the use of baffles or vanes.
New Planar Gantries from Festo
Festo, a global manufacturer of process control and factory automation solutions, has introduced the EXCM-30 and EXCM-40 to its family of planar gantries.
A/C Coolers Designed for Purged Electrical and Electronic Enclosures
Vortec’s ProtEX Vortex A/C enclosure coolers protect electrical and electronic components in ATEX Zones 1 and 21 and Temperature Class T3 areas. They are an economical alternative to expensive, high maintenance air conditioners and provide a clean stable environment when coupled with purge systems.
Barium and Tin Yield Superior Thin-film Material
A nano-scale thin film material exhibits both the highest conductivity in its class and a wide bandgap, which makes it optically transparent.
