Fracking and geologic hazards: Does fracking cause earthquakes or sinkholes?
Discover why hydraulic fracturing is not considered a major cause of felt earthquakes.
Engineers create cooling system to preserve donor lungs
The new thoracic organ-recovery cooler reportedly controls temperature, pressure and humidity within a sealed, sterile environment. This design reportedly better preserves organs.
Depleted oil fields repurposed for hydrogen supply
The commercialization and global deployment of subsurface hydrogen production from depleted oil and gas reservoirs advances in a collaborative effort involving Eclipse Energy and Wood.
High-efficiency motor technologies for industrial decarbonization initiatives
For the cold truth of the matter, and that’s the only thing that’s cold about this problem, climate change isn’t letting up.
Emerson to showcase fit-for-purpose valves and regulators at Industrial Valve Summit 2026
Reliable valve piloting for faster and more efficient operations and explosion proof valve solutions for hazardous area compliance will be on display.
Study shows cold plasma treatment may reduce peanut allergens
The method involves briefly treating peanuts with cold plasma, which is an ionically charged gas that causes chemical changes, thereby reducing their potential to trigger allergic reactions.
Bottled lightning turns methane into liquid fuel
Bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without the high heat and pressures required in current industrial processes.
