VIDEO: New Sanitizers made of Paper can Kill Bacteria
A team of researchers at Rutgers University have created a new, inexpensive way to kill bacteria and sanitize. This new product is made out of paper, and could potentially be used in clothing to protect from harmful bacteria.
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.
A/C Coolers Designed for Purged Electrical and Electronic Enclosures
Vortec’s ProtEX Vortex A/C enclosure coolers protect electrical and electronic components in ATEX Zones 1 and 21 and Temperature Class T3 areas. They are an economical alternative to expensive, high maintenance air conditioners and provide a clean stable environment when coupled with purge systems.
Gauging Marine Pollutant Fate by Optical Sensing of Near-Surface Currents
A specialized video camera senses the directional wind and wave drift current profile near the surface.
Creating Touchscreens with a Can of Spray Paint
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are turning unconventional surfaces into touchpads using simple tools like spray paint cans.

The cables can also be used for outdoor Ethernet applications.
World's Largest X-ray Laser Generates First Laser Light
European XFEL has generated x-ray light at a wavelength of 0.8 nanometers, 500 times shorter than that of visible light
Red Light, Green Light at Work
We’ve all been there: working feverishly in the ‘zone’ when John Smith from two cubicles away interrupts your rhythm with a question about your weekend. Also familiar: attempting to get back into that zone once John Smith has wandered away.
High Temperatures Can Create Graphene from Ethene
Scientists from all over the world have teamed up to create a new way to produce single layer graphene from simple ethane, otherwise known as ethylene—the smallest alkene molecule.
Facebook to Add 3,000 to its Team to Fight Bullying, Hate Speech
In response to a recent spate of suicides posted on Facebook, the company announced the addition of 3,000 people to its team in an effort to better screen posts and videos for harmful or damaging content.
What are Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons?
Graphene has become a focus for many researchers due to the supermaterials superlative electrical, physical and chemical properties. Graphene armchair nanoribbons are a promising variant for semiconductor applications.
As Temperatures Increase, So Does Air Pollution—Thanks to Air Conditioning
Although it seems logical that increased air conditioning usage would mean higher levels of air pollution, that has not been the focus of most air pollution studies.
Energy-Harvesting Laser Phosphor Display
Researchers have found a way to generate power from ambient light.
Protecting Eagles from Wind Turbines
The expanding role of wind turbines in energy generation may be good news for the environment but bad news for birds, particularly eagles.
