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.
Efficiency and Renewables Drive Asia-Pacific 2017 CapEx
The outlook for Asia-Pacific remains "broadly positive" despite China's slowdown, says a report from Frost & Sullivan. Emerging and developing economies pick up pace in 2017.
Producing Fertilizer...From Air
A reactor, which converts nitrogen from the atmosphere into NOx (raw material for fertilizer), is thought to make the process of producing the raw materials five times more efficient than existing processes, with current methods of production resulting in about two percent of global CO2 emissions.
Coatings for Nuclear Fuel Preventing Explosions in Reactors
In an effort to reduce hydrogenation of containers where nuclear fuel is stored and to protect reactors from a Fukushima-like radiation disaster, physicists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing protective titanium nitride-based coatings for shells of fuel elements (fuel rods) of nuclear reactors.
Applying Data Science to Better Predict Effect of Weather and Other Conditions on Solar Panels
In an effort to extend the life of solar panels, researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Gebze Technical University (GTU) in Turkey are employing data science to understand what effect weather exposure and other conditions have on the materials that create solar panels.
Membrane to Bridge Gap in the Hydrogen Economy
A metallic membrane will convert ammonia into high-purity hydrogen for fuel-cell powered vehicles.
New 3-D Printing Method Promises Improved Medical Implants
Researchers at the University of Florida, using 3-D printing technology, are improving the timeliness of implanting medical devices.
New Mixing Valves with Automatic Scald Protection
AFRISO has rolled out a new line of automatic temperature monitoring thermal mixing valves designed to control hot water in a number of applications.
Tesla Reveals Lower Than Expected Solar Roof Tile Pricing
Tesla has revealed the highly competitive price of its solar roof tiles and has begun taking orders for them. Serving as both solar panels and traditional roofing, the tiles produce energy and protect a building from the elements simultaneously. Yet they are nearly indistinguishable in appearance from conventional roofing.
Video: Building the First Autonomous, Zero Emissions Container Ship
The vessel will eliminate up to 40,000 diesel-powered truck journeys annually in populated urban areas.
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.
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.
Bombardier JV Wins Shanghai Metro Contract
Under the contracts, the joint venture will overhaul Shanghai Metro's fleet of 498 metro cars.
Corrosion Resistant Coating for Tubular Products
A thermal zinc diffusion coating provides 1,000+ hours of corrosion resistance without risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
Keep Point-of-Purchase Displays Secure
A return reel device improves theft-deterrence and customer convenience for point-of-purchase displays.
New Process Could Change How We Filter Water
As researchers continue to look for new and better ways to meet clean water demands worldwide, a recent study appearing in the journal Nature Communications details a water filtration process using carbon dioxide that consumes 1,000 times less energy than traditional processes.
Automated Laser Process Cuts Sheet Piling Under Water
Using a disc laser for torch cutting leaves divers with only a supervisory role.
Huisman Unfolds New Crane for Offshore Wind Industry
A folding boom results in a small footprint when in storage position and a much lighter crane compared to conventional options.
Eating Bugs Could Reduce Emissions
Eating bugs instead of beef could reduce the harmful emissions associated with livestock production, according to researchers at the University of Edinburgh and Scotland’s Rural College.
Slag Heaps Could Absorb Carbon in the Atmosphere
Known for their ability to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, slag heaps (an area, often a hill, made up of refuse from a mine) are being eyed as a possible tool in the fight against global warming.
