A look at magnetic pulse welding
The innovation of magnetic pulse welding (MPW), born in the nuclear energy industry just a half-century ago, expands the possibilities for solid-state welding through the application of electromagnetic force theory.
How a school bus fire rapidly turned fatal
The NTSB said that the 2017 school bus fire illustrates that once a school bus compartment is breached, a fire can spread quickly, and smoke, toxic gases and heat make the interior "untenable for occupancy."
Continuous fluid dosing boosts output in the manufacture of contact lenses
From metering of chemicals entering microfluidic devices in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry to the supply of vapors for thin-film deposition in the production of photovoltaic cells, measuring and regulating fluids with low flow rates is an important function in a wide range of markets and applications.
