Biosensor Monitors, Regulates Bloodstream Drug Levels
A drug delivery tool promises to provide accurate dosing of life-saving agents.
EROWA CleverClamp One-off and Small Batch Clamping System
EROWA has introduced the CleverClamp, a new clamping solution for the production of one-offs and small series.
Video: Autonomous Cars Cut Congestion, Top U.S. Cities for Energy-efficiency, Plug-in Truck Stop Saves Fuel
A few self-driving cars on the road can help beat stop-and-go traffic. Does your city rank as one of the most energy-efficient in the U.S.? Discover how truckers can plug in for the night at a North Carolina rest area.
Stopping Sinkholes in their Tracks
Fujitsu AI technology is being utilized to process huge amounts of radar probe data showing the location of potential sinkholes.
What are Ultrasonic Flaw Detectors?
How do ultrasonic flaw detectors work and why do we test for flaws in materials? Ultrasonic testing is akin to the sonar methods developed in World War II and the Cold War to detect enemy submarines in the ocean. A submarine below the surface could be a considered a void or flaw. Pings from sonobuoys with radio beacons and later underwater transducers were used to detect and target enemy submarines. Ultrasonic flaw detectors detect hidden voids, inclusions or cracks beneath the surface of a material, which make them a powerful tool in assuring the integrity of critical parts, products and structures.
Finding Forest: Global Forest Cover Increases by 10%
An area of previously unreported forest equivalent to 60 percent of the size of Australia has been identified by an international research team.
Primitive Atmosphere Found Around 'Warm Neptune'
A new study challenges some long-held assumptions about planetary formation.
Engineering Empathy in Health Professionals
Interaction with virtual humans can improve the communication skills of healthcare professionals.
How Tracking the International Space Station Works
Visible at certain times with the naked eye, the International Space Station's precise orbital path can be predicted and tracked using a combination of simplified perturbation orbital models and two-line element set data from NORAD.
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.
Video: World's Largest Aircraft Flies Again
The Airlander 10 posted its first successful test fight since a heavy landing incident last year.
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.
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.
Smart Windows Reduce Energy Consumption
Smart reflective windows that allow sunlight through during the cold winter months and that act like blinds in the hot summer months could reduce the energy consumption for heating and cooling structures by 12 percent.
NuScale Commissions Second SMR Simulator
A second small modular reactor control room simulator will model operation of its nuclear power plant design.
Experiments Show That a Few Self-Driving Cars Can Improve Traffic Flow
Researchers believe that by just adding a small number of autonomous vehicles to regular traffic could impact stop-and-go traffic and thus reduce fuel consumption by up to 40 percent. Researchers even believe that the addition of autonomous vehicles may eventually replace traditional traffic control concepts such as variable speed limits.
How Technology Has Changed the Construction Industry
To say that the construction industry has changed with advances made in technology is an understatement.
Stationary Road Weather Sensor is Non-Invasive and Includes No Moving Parts
Lufft has released a new sensor capable of detecting road conditions, surface temperatures and wet or snowy conditions.
MEMS-Based IMU/AHRS Integrated into Neya’s Custom UxAB Module
The module will be integrated into Northrop Grumman’s AEODRS for the U.S. Navy.
