  • Safe guidance for e-chains with extender crossbars

    The adapter system ensures quick and easy adjustment of the Igus E4Q cable carrier to the hose diameter.

  • Why optical displacement sensors replace tactile sensors

    Displacement sensors are used to measure the distance between an object’s position and reference location.

  • Video: Old EV batteries live on in the grid

    This facility's 25 MWh storage capacity is based on 1,300 retired battery packs from Honda and Nissan electric vehicles.

  • Video: Amphibious ship to service offshore wind farms

    The craft is engineered to service wind farms in very shallow waters.

  • How rooftop solar saves water

    These installations can help conserve water in addition to curbing carbon emissions.

  • Modular methanol fuel cell delivers clean stationary power

    The high efficiency, continuous power output system is expected to displace fossil fuel-based power generators.

  • A shocking approach to water disinfection

    Shocks of electricity are applied as nanosecond pulses to deactivate bacteria without the generation of chemical byproducts associated with chemical-based purification systems.

  • Low-cost battery designed to bolster grid energy storage

    Built with low-cost materials, the battery offers a pathway toward a more sustainable and scalable stationary energy storage system.

  • Video: First advanced SMR to be installed at US industrial site

    Dow and X-energy will jointly develop a four-unit Xe-100 facility at one of Dow’s U.S. Gulf Coast sites.

  • Video: Meet the world's first 'solar train'

    The Byron Bay Railroad opened to little fanfare but could inspire mass movement of solar-powered trains.

  • A nuclear focus in STEM education

    The American Nuclear Society has expanded its nuclear science and education offerings for kindergarten through 12th grade (K-12) enrichment.

  • Harnessing wave energy to power marine sensors

    A triboelectric nanogenerator was engineered to power marine-based sensors and communication systems.

  • DARPA, NASA plan orbital nuclear engine test

    There’s a good chance that crewed missions to Mars will be nuclear-powered.

  • Listen: This is what the Dodge Charger Daytona EV sounds like

    According to Dodge, the next generation Charger and Challenger will be electric-only, but will they carry over the V-8 rumble?

  • Teardown of an antenna tuner

    For simple receiving of radio signals, the electrical characteristics are only marginally important. This is why a modern car’s FM antenna can be smaller than ¼ wavelength vertical, instead appearing as a mere nub on the car’s roof, and still function.

  • Video: Planning the first grid-scale SMR in North America

    The small modular reactor (SMR) project build could be completed as early as 2028.

  • Wastewater treatment as a source of energy, nutrients and water

    The largely untapped potential for recovering these resources from U.S. wastewater facilities is explored.

  • Video: From the North to the South Pole by EV

    The world’s first all-electric driving adventure from the magnetic North Pole to the South Pole on board a modified Nissan Ariya e-4ORCE launches soon.

  • A GEM of a clean energy mapping aid

    This interactive online mapping tool can help identify areas across the U.S. that are suitable for wind, solar and other clean energy infrastructure projects.

  • Infographic: Electricity sources powering North America

    The U.S. primarily relies on natural gas, coal and nuclear power, while Canada is dependent on both hydroelectric and nuclear power systems.
