Kentucky Gauge offers built-to-order drilling systems that are ideal for aluminum, steel and composites, tubular and flat bar materials.
Canadian Waste-to-Cellulosic Ethanol Plant to Sell Fuel in U.S.
Enerkem's Edmonton waste-to-biofuel facility received registration approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to sell its ethanol under the U.S. Renewable Fuel Standard.
Non-Conventional Cyclone Separator
This high-efficiency cyclone offers up to 30 percent energy savings for the continuous separation of dust, particles and bulk solids. It features a wear-resistant interior lining and compact design ensuring maximum reliability and safety with considerably lower space requirements.
Bio24 Offers a Greener Way to Get Your Parts Clean
Bio24 not only provides the cost-effective, environmentally responsible option found with aqueous cleaning, but also enhances the green profile and sustainability status for companies that use it.
Moving Bus Stop Locations Could Cut Riders' Pollution Exposure
Consequently, the research team believes that exposure to pollutants would be dramatically reduced by moving bus and light rail stops 120 feet from high-traffic intersections.
Robotic Exploration and Settlement of Lunar Caves
Now that the existence of lunar caves has been confirmed, the caves need to be explored, mapped and characterized. Before human astronauts are sent to explore the caves, robotic explorers will be designed and sent to the moon cave because there are too many unknown factors.
Manufacturing Begins on the Largest Carbon Fiber Wing Ever for the Boeing 777X
In late October 2017, workers at the Boeing plant in Everett, Washington began manufacturing what will be the largest carbon fiber composite wing in aviation history. Bright lights from TV cameras glinted off the 108-foot long wing spar as a robotic machine drilled the first hole in a 777X part.
Watch: Mechanical Engineers Design the Perfect Yo-Yo
The challenge of designing the perfect yo-yo proves to be fertile ground for Georgia Tech students learning about mechanical design and computer-aided manufacturing.
The Case for Supply Chain Certification
Certification initiatives help professionals achieve new levels of specialization, favorably impact hiring decisions and elevate the participant as an expert in focused areas of the supply chain.
Manufacturing Low Density, Light Metallic Nanofoam
A nanofoam of palladium could be used to store hydrogen in vehicles or for other purposes.
China Introduces Massive Island-building Vessel
The boat is expected to be operational in June 2018 after completing a final round of tests.
Optical Device May Lead to Cleaner Air and Skies
A new optical device at Sandia National Laboratories that helps image pollutants in combusting fuel sprays might lead to clearer skies in the future.
The Environmental Price of Pot
Increased cannabis cultivation in California has fragmented forest landscapes and reduced wildlife habitat.
Orion Fans New Filter Fan Kits Reduce Installation and Maintenance Costs
Filter fan kits with louvered sliding and hinged guard simplify the procurement process as well as the assembly process.
New ICs Help Streamline Auto Infotainment Connections
Microchip Technology, a manufacturer of integrated circuits, has announced five new USB 2.0 smart hub ICs that enable intelligent connections between the car's display and one or more mobile devices.
Newly Developed Filters Use Nanoparticles to Prevent Slime Buildup
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Engineering and Applied Science have a new way of making membranes that could address this problem. Their method allows them to add in a host of new abilities via functional nanoparticles that adhere to the surface of the mesh.
Research Could Save Money and Reform Nuclear Waste Reprocessing
Rutgers-New Brunswick scientists have been seeking a better way to capture radioactive iodides in spent nuclear reactor fuel. They have developed an extremely efficient “molecular trap” that can be recycled and reused.
The Robot Uprising Won't Be as Dire as First Predicted
As the threat of being replaced by robots and other technology looms, workers can rest a bit easier with the release of a new study that re-examines the percentage of workers likely to be replaced by automation.
The Solution to Swiss Machining Chip Management
The new DB-L43-4P chip cart makes chip management from swiss machining easy. Swiss machines produce long, stringy chips during turning and become a safety concern and disposal problem. With the CECOR chip cart, the machinist can easily wheel the cart away from the machine without getting oil or chips on the floor.
