How does UV radiation affect conductors?
While UV radiation is invisible to the human eye its lethal effect on the electric grid cannot be ignored or left unattended. DayCor® reveals, displays and pinpoints UV radiation.
Analytical method pegs marine microplastics
The hybrid method can help render microplastics research more standardized and accessible.
Pinpointing a particle accelerator inside a solar flare
The latest discoveries were made viable by observations of an X-class solar flare in 2017 by NJIT's Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) radio telescope.
Micrometeoroids no match for James Webb Space Telescope
The craft was struck sometime between May 23 and May 25 by a larger than expected micrometeoroid.
EPA report: US air quality continues to improve
Concentrations of common air pollutants have been trending down since 1970.
Breakthrough for artificially engineered cilia
Cilia are a scientific marvel, but they have been hard to copy in engineering, especially on a small scale.
A nondestructive method to catch cracks in concrete
Successfully demonstrated at the laboratory scale, the method could be used to diagnose cracking phenomena in dams, bridges and other concrete structures.
Global Data Vision launches new solution for the global standards community
The Global Directory was developed as an innovative platform for international organizations and is the world’s first central repository for industry-specific lab and testing services.
This robot dog offers safe and reliable site management
The challenging terrain did not slow the robot, which surveilled and accurately mapped a comprehensive view of the site's construction progress and maintenance operations.
Connecting EDA with test and measurement in high-performance wireless design
The quality of reference signals and software tools has a significant impact on successfully transitioning an RF power-amplifier design from the EDA environment into hardware.
Testing solar cells for service in space
Guidelines have been devised to test the radiation-tolerating properties of perovskites intended for use in space.
Sourcing critical materials from marine crusts
Growing demand for new sources of germanium and gallium spurred researchers in Germany to explore deep sea mining as a supply solution.
Video: First image of the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way
Known as Sagittarius A* or Sgr A*, the black hole lies some 27,000 light-years away from Earth.
Machine learning targets toxins in oil sands tailings
The method could provide rapid assessment of oil sands impacts on natural waters.
Solar-powered filter purifies water
The filter houses a nanocomposite material consisting of titanium dioxide nanowires and carbon nanotubes to photocatalytically deactivate waterborne pathogens.
Small, powerful, lab-sized HALT without using liquid nitrogen
ESPEC's new EQZ4 fuses mechanical refrigeration with Qualmark reliability test technology for ultimate combined environment testing.
Blood test shows potential to fight cancer at pre-cancer stage
Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a precise and sensitive method of testing blood to see if a precancerous condition is progressing to cancer, potentially allowing treatment early in tumor progression.
Video: Transparent tissue can fast track disease detection
Scientists may now see and study normal and disease-related biological functions across many organ systems more easily than ever before.
New method speeds drug testing and discovery
The approach speeds up development of vaccines and other pharmaceutical products by more than one million times while minimizing costs.
