Hydra-Cell revolutionizes linear flow metering
If accuracy is the goal of metering pumps, why settle for pulsing flow?
First heart is 3D printed with patient's own cells
Cardiac structures have been previously 3D printed, and now scientists have 3D printed a heart containing blood vessels, cells and chambers, using patients’ own biological material.
BP’s upstream carbon fund targets GHG emissions reductions
BP’s future greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions projects are now supported by a $100 million fund known as the upstream carbon fund.
Engineers downplayed cracks hours before bridge collapse
In court documents, engineers allegedly assured colleagues it was safe to keep the road below open and that temporary shoring to hold up the span was not necessary as repairs proceeded.
Using artificial intelligence to keep pace with changing manufacturing requirements
A new system is being researched to make line production more agile.
Energy Department offers funding for clean-coal R&D
The R&D projects will fall under five separate funding opportunity announcements.
Literature review analyzes HAP levels at upstream oil and gas operations
An examination of 37 peer-reviewed studies on hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) determined which species have been linked to a specific upstream phase, process or source.
Watch: 3D-printed soft robot can physically and socially interact with elders
Researchers from Purdue University have created a 3D-printed soft robot that could one day care for the elderly.
Transparent polymer is as strong as aluminum
A lightweight, transparent plastic material with the mechanical strength of aluminum could be an ideal replacement for traditional and polymeric glass in many applications.
Converting apple waste into new comestibles
Technologies are being developed to recover and repurpose pomace as health-beneficial snacks and cereals.
Watch how space pants soothe PAD patients
A piece of astronaut apparatus is being tested as a means of providing in-home therapy and relief for patients suffering from peripheral artery disease (PAD).
Beresheet moves into lunar orbit
The moon captured Israel’s Beresheet spacecraft on April 4, 2019.
Study documents ethanol's greenhouse gas reduction benefits
Greenhouse gas emissions from corn-based ethanol are about 39% lower than those from gasoline.
Bridges may be vulnerable to this common road de-icer
The damage also is unlikely to be detected using standard visual inspections, the typical method of assessing bridge health.
Researchers engineer a quieter airplane toilet
Tests show aeroacoustically generated noise dropped up to 16 decibels during the flush valve opening and about 5 to 10 decibels when the valve was fully opened.
Kenmode appoints Frank Kraft as director of engineering and new tooling
The new director manages a team of technical, engineering and manufacturing experts to develop new products and ensure efficient production.
Magnet modification method eschews rare earths
The method identifies high-performance magnets with reduced rare earth content and rare earth-free magnets that exceed the performance of existing non-rare earth magnets.
Space missions could host bacterial factories for fiber fabrication
Spider silk and other proteins produced by engineered bacteria could be useful during space missions.
Lunar Xprize Foundation's Moonshot Award could go to SpaceIL, Beresheet
The California-based Lunar Xprize foundation announced the creation and conditional awarding of its first Moonshot Award, citing SpaceIL’s achievements thus far with its Beresheet spacecraft.
Thermal fatigue led to gas plant fire and explosion, CSB says
More than 500 gas processing facilities operate across the U.S. and the use of heat exchangers like the one that failed is common.
