Warning of Shortage of Essential Minerals for Laptops, Cell Phones, Wiring
An international team of researchers, led by the University of Delaware's Saleem Ali, says global resource governance and sharing of geoscience data is needed to address challenges facing future mineral supply.
MES Rises as Automakers Embrace Flexibility
Henry Ford might be gobsmacked at how today’s production lines are more about customization than standardization. Supporting that evolution are software tools known as manufacturing execution systems. These tools provide real-time data for analysis, and also help to make the line’s flexibility possible.
Engineering Team Develops Nanofiber Solution for Clean, Fresh Air
A research team from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully concocted a novel nanofiber solution that creates thin, see-through air filters that can remove up to 90 percent of PM2.5 particles and achieve high air flow of 2.5 times better than conventional air filters.
Pulverizing Electronic Waste Is Green, Clean — and Cold
Researchers at Rice University and the Indian Institute of Science have an idea to simplify electronic waste recycling: Crush it into nanodust.
Cummins Accelerates Its Water Intensity Reduction Efforts
The revised 50% intensity reduction goal represents a total water savings of 763 million gallons of water since 2010.
Water Filter From Wood Offers Portable, Eco-friendly Purification in Emergencies
A bacteria-trapping material developed from wood, by researchers KTH Royal Institute of Technology, is now being tested for use as a water purification filter. The aim is to use it in places where there is no infrastructure or clean water supply.
