CH2M Loses Boston Transit Contract
The decision was not related to CH2M’s performance, according to published reports, but is based on its pending acquisition by Jacobs Engineering Group.
Melt Pressure Transmitters with ASF (Advanced Safe Fill) Materials
Achieve Superior Linearity with GP:50’s ASF Series Melt Pressure Transmitters. The ASF Series features a unique design that incorporates an extremely small capillary tubing to transmit the media pressure to the strain gage sensor and mating electronics.
Travels on the Road of Automotive Safety Engineering
A look at how automotive engineering has helped us to stay safe.
Soybean Oil-based Tires Could Soon Hit the Road
The tread compound based on soybean oil keeps tires pliable in changing temperatures, enhancing the vehicle’s grip on the road surface.
Self-Cleaning Nanotech
Skins and mats containing nano-crystals that create a self-cleaning reaction are being used to clean checkpoint security bins at the Akron-Canton Airport (CAK).
Super Steel Combines Ductility with Strength
A process for realizing both properties is based on cold rolling followed by low-temperature tempering.
Petroleum Engineers, Stanford Grads Top New List of Highest-Earning Engineering Workers
Stanford University graduates who majored in engineering represent the top earners in that field, according to a report released today by online salary aggregator PayScale, Inc.
Smart Partnering, Smarter Bombs
Smart bombs use GPS for guidance—the same type of system that drivers use on road trips. In addition to increased precision, smart bombs can be as much as 20 times cheaper to build than smart missiles, which use jet engines to propel themselves.
Researchers Discover High Tunability of 2D Materials
2D materials are an up-and-coming material in the scientific community. 2D is atomically thin and can exhibit very different electronics and light-based properties than other thicker and more conventional forms, causing researchers to flock to these materials.
How Technology is Changing the Workplace
The traditional workplace has changed at an accelerated pace thanks to technology, and evidence of what the future holds is just beginning to reveal itself in the technologies available today.
Watch: 3D-Printing Satellites in Space, Diamond Rain on Neptune and Uranus and the Death of the 19-Year-Old Cassini Spacecraft
3D-printing satellites in space, diamond rain on Neptune and Uranus and the death of the 19-year-old Cassini spacecraft.
Details of New Hybrid Supercar Unveiled
The HIPERCAR, with a top speed of 160 mph (257 kph), will be available in four- and two-wheel drive variants.
The Nano-sized Monster Truck That Could
New insights into nanotech research are the results of a recent 'nanocar race.'
Augmented Reality Gives Field Technicians Remote Guidance from Off-site Experts
A new partnership has been formed between Coresystems and SightCall.
Fewer STEM Activities for Students from Diverse Backgrounds
Observing data from nearly 6,000 secondary schools in the U.K., researchers determined that students from less privileged backgrounds were less likely to attend science-related school trips or forums conducted by visitors from this concentration.
Swimming, Flying, Walking in the Holodeck
Freely-moving animals exploring a virtual-reality system give scientists new insights into brain function.
Watch: The Future of Car Parts
A new extrusion process may make magnesium, the lightest of all structural metals, feasible for use in car parts. The process eliminates the need to incorporate rare-earth elements to impart structural strength.
Chemical Companies Put a New Emphasis on Sustainability
The chemical industry has been at the forefront of progress in essentially every aspect of society from agriculture and food production to health and medicine to manufacturing and energy. The driving force behind the green initiatives is the recognition that this progress has come at a high cost.
Testing Composite Aircrafts
Recently demonstrating the technology at the 13th International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS-2017, the detector relies on a combination of data processing algorithms and thermal tomography and defectometry to operate.
Pneumatic Actuator for Diaphragm Valves in Sterile Service
The actuator can be fitted to the valve body without nuts as the threads are integrated in the body to simplify mounting.
