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.
Video: Optimize test systems with this software bundle
Engineers can access the software needed to design and automate a test or measurement system through a single software license.
Video: Restart of the world’s largest particle collider
Two proton beams with an injection energy of 450 billion electronvolts were sent in opposite directions around the collider ring, marking the end of a three-year overhaul.
High resolution, high definition UV imaging for drones
Invisible UV radiation indicates faults. DayCor® micROM UAV cameras pinpoints them, assisting utilities in solving problems.
Smart-C portable imaging packs small and plays big
This technology has shown positive impact on healthcare efficiency; point-of-care X-ray imaging leads to quicker diagnoses, faster interventions and improved outcomes with reduced costs.
CO2Meter, GasLab Inc. launch RAD-0002-ZR Oxygen Deficiency Alarm for low temperatures to exceed current standards
CO2Meter partnered with GasLab Inc. to release an alarm designed to measure potentially dangerous oxygen levels in low temperature applications.
Handheld tool eliminates need for radioactive isotope in lead paint analysis
Without the need for a radioactive isotope, the tool greatly reduces the regulatory burden of owning and controlling radioactive materials and eliminates costly isotope replacement.
Low-cost technique assesses 3D-printed metal component quality
The directional reflectance microscopy method uses an optical camera, a flashlight and a notebook computer that runs proprietary machine-learning software.
Support for virtual vehicle engine test cell R&D
Gastops is supporting Europe’s largest R&D center for virtual vehicle technology by supplying custom oil debris monitoring solutions.
3D microscope could mean the end of biopsies
MediSCAPE is a high-speed 3D microscope capable of capturing image data of tissue structures that could direct surgeons to navigate tumors and their boundaries without the need to remove tissues and wait for pathology results.
Study: Predictors of PFAS in groundwater
The influence of land use, water chemistry and other factors on the occurrence of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) in groundwater was examined.
Fabric that can hear a heartbeat
The fibers can also be made to produce sound, such as a recording of words or phrases that can be recognized by another fabric.
Innovative film turns down heat in PPE
A person wearing a protective suit for an hour at 95° F will experience a heat index of around 147° F. This prolonged thermal load can cause heat stroke and even death, far beyond the common thought of discomfort.
