Marine Grade Stainless Steel is 3D-Printed
Marine grade stainless steel produced by 3D printing features the desired combination of high-strength and high-ductility properties.
New Eco-Friendly Jet Fuel Being Developed from Corn Cobs and Wood Chips
University of Delaware researchers are working to develop an alternative jet fuel. Instead of petroleum, UD researchers want to power planes with corncobs and wood chips — stuff that people generally don’t care about.
Scary Stories Using Artificial Intelligence
The stories that result from this back and forth between participants and the AI system are often weird and unpredictable, according to researchers.
From Hospital Waste to Durable Concrete
An innovative recycling project is repurposing plastic dialysis waste as a durable, waterproof filler material for concrete.
New 3D Printing Lab Opens on University of Miami Campus
On Monday, October 23, 2017, the University of Miami opened the UM College of Engineering – Johnson & Johnson 3D Printing Center of Excellence Collaborative Laboratory.
New Tools Facilitate Modeling of Digital Twins and Virtual Prototypes
New modeling tools reduce development risks as they support the rapid creation and testing of initial concepts. Engineers can try out more ideas in less time, identify and prevent unexpected interactions between different domains and generate computationally efficient models of Digital Twins and other virtual prototypes.
Researchers Create Artificial Limbs that Can be Mapped in the Brain
EPFL scientists have used ultra-high field 7 Tesla fMRI to show how TSMR affects upper-limb representations in the brains of patients with amputations in particular in primary motor cortex in the somatosensory cortex and regions processing more complex brain functions.
New Catalytic Converters Developed that Produce Clean Air in Cities
Reducing pollution from cars and meeting stricter exhaust gas standards are major challenges when trying to develop catalytic converters. A new concept may help treat exhaust gases after the cold start of engines and in urban traffic while reducing the consumption of expensive noble metals.
Darley Added as Aquabotix’s Latest Distributor
Aquabotix today announced the addition of W.S. Darley & Co. as a distributor for Aquabotix in the U.S.
The World’s First Testing-Based Verification Tool for Battery Lifetime
Certification body DNV GL has created Battery XT, the first testing-based verification of battery lifetime for lithium-ion batteries.
Norton MilliNium Wheels Roll Bottom-Line Benefits
Norton R & D engineers developed MilliNium™ grinding wheels that provide longer life and material removal rate improvements over existing hot-mill-roll grinding solutions.
How to Tell if You Need PCB Assembly Services
At Screaming Circuits we talk about PCB assembly as being our speciality, but conceptually, it's more of a case of us trying to remove some of your barriers.
The Evolving Global Landscape for Hazardous Locations Industries
How testing with a recognized HazLoc Certification Body can help you achieve global market export.
Climate Fluctuations Affect Worldwide Wine Production
Global wine production, which has been affected by climate fluctuations, is experiencing a 50-year low according to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV).
Jumping Nanoparticles Improve the Understanding of Friction and Thermal Motion
By monitoring the motion of the nanoparticle over time, the scientists determined the rate at which the nanoparticle hops between the wells for a wide range of friction that can be accurately tuned by adjusting the pressure of the gas around the nanoparticle.
Nanotech Heats Up Passive Solar Windows
The nanotechnology-based design uses solar energy to increase window temperature on cold days by up to 8 K (15° F or 9° C).
Now Online: Stephen Hawking’s Ph.D Thesis
The document, Properties of expanding universes, has been made accessible to anyone via the University of Cambridge’s open access repository, Apollo.
Silica Filter Designed to Cut Power Plant Water Use
The filter reduces freshwater requirements at power plants by increasing the number of times cooling tower water can be reused and recycled.
Mitigating Customer Risk With Process Validation
Navigating increasing demand for best practice quality management service.
Removing Ice with a Gust of Wind
A new study examines the role that surface characteristics play in ease of ice removal.
