Welcome to this week's edition of the Engineering360 news brief.

The electric-powered personal flying device is vying for the $1 million grand prize.

Rice University researchers created conductive 3D carbon blocks that can be shaped for applications.

Since 2012, the amount of ice loss per year has tripled to 241.4 billion tons (219 billion metric tons).

For demanding gearbox applications requiring high speed, precision motion, low backlash or special environmental conditions, Diequa's high Tandler Spiral Bevel Gearboxes may be just what is needed.

ASTM International updates standard for alcohol-to-jet synthetic paraffinic kerosene based on fuel produced by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and partner LanzaTech.

The new web-based tool, with an intuitive graphical interface, helps installers lower PV design costs and increase conversion rates by creating compelling customer proposals.

The BionicFlyingFox is Festo's latest addition to its Bionic Learning Network's robots that mimic biology. Developers studied the motion of the flying fox to replicate its flying characteristics. Using a combination of onboard electronics and an external motion-tracking system, the BionicFlyingFox is capable of semi-autonomous flight in a defined space.

This method gives new insights into just how free energy is created and used.

A water harvester using metal-organic framework technology extracts water from air every day and night cycle at low humidity and low cost.

Imagery documented by NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites, launched in 1999 and 2002, respectively, is now available for exploration.

A “thin triple” super window design doubles the thermal performance of current Energy Star-rated, double-glazed windows and is seven times more insulating than a single-glazed window.

The milestone was accomplished with the third machine in a five-stage plan that Tokamak Energy believes will lead to commercial fusion energy by the end of the next decade.

The mid-field coupling technique successfully delivered power to several antennas inside an animal model at levels high enough to run a range of medical devices.

Since it's initial ribbon cutting ceremony, The Portsmouth Memorial Bridge has served as a landmark. It's recent redesign aimed to keep the classic architecture while increasing technology and overall reliability.

The compound’s constituents are simply added to a flask, stirred and heated, after which the Lego-like chemical building blocks merge to yield cofacial cobalt porphyrins.
