Advanced imaging pinpoints solar panel defects
The imaging system could streamline inspection and keep solar panels operating efficiently.
3 Reasons to install a CleanShield
Correct storage of endocavity transducers and other instruments is important to keep healthcare devices functional and for patient safety.
Sensor puts biofuel-producing yeast in the spotlight
A fluorescent biosensor can accelerate the development of yeast strains to produce branched-chain higher alcohols and advanced biofuels.
Video: Pocket-sized tool for testing live fiber optics
The handheld tester detects invisible near-infrared wavelengths used in fiber optic communications without the need for setup or interpretation of measurement readings.
Predicting earthquake damage on bridge structures
Bridges all over the world are developed with the potential to withstand earthquakes. Concrete reinforced with steel are utilized to handle bridge shaking and movement, but once the seismic event is over, the bridges always require inspection and often need repair.
Video: Rapid HIV self-test could curb infections globally
A self-testing HIV-1 chip is under development to selectively detect HIV from whole blood samples.
Could non-invasive "vacuum" track endangered species?
One way researchers can track and monitor endangered and non-threatened animals is through environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. For years, eDNA has been gathered from water, dirt and even plant leaves to see what has passed through that area.
Video: Robotic spine system optimizes surgical implant selection
A robotic replica of the human spine can shed light on the effects of surgical interventions prior to an operation.
LEXT™ OLS5100 3D Laser Scanning Microscope: Smart Workflow, Faster Experiments
The LEXT OLS5100 3D Laser Scanning Microscope is built for failure analysis and material engineering research.
Sensor tests assure safe travel in fog
Fog chamber tests of sensors are underway to improve travel safety for drones and other autonomous aircraft.
Wearable monitor to assess COVID-19 exposure
It seems even with proper handwashing, social distancing and masks, COVID-19 is still detected in public settings. The airborne virus finds its way through despite measures to prevent the spread indoors.
Watch the conversion of captured CO2 to solid carbon
A new process converts captured carbon dioxide to solid carbon to help advance heavy industry decarbonization.
Learn the difference: Rated pressure, overpressure and burst pressure
It is not uncommon to come across the risk of excessive pressure or overpressure within the pneumatic or hydraulic network of equipment, especially in facilities with a high degree of automation.
Automated quality inspection solution for fasteners
Robotic quality inspection is improving productivity and containing manufacturing costs for a U.K.-based producer of fastener equipment.
Machine learning tech tests nuclear components
The platform detects and quantifies radiation-induced defects instantaneously and could be extended to interpret other microscopy data.
Gear tester detects noise-producing defects
This noise, vibration and harshness gear tester identifies potential gear defects at the component level prior to gearbox assembly.
