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.

Researchers artificially generated the representative architecture of a lithium-ion electrode particle with sub-particle grain detail, broadening opportunities for battery design improvements.
Canada lab going remote due to COVID-19
Canada’s only level four laboratory, meaning one that is equipped to work with the most deadly and serious diseases, is going remote for most workers.
New incubator for AI collaboration
The new AI Innovation Incubator’s goal is to create a bond between industry and lab/academic sectors through cognitive simulation.
SLAC's new concept for high-performance detectors
Today, that building-block approach is the centerpiece of SLAC’s vision for next-generation detectors that can keep pace with ever more demanding experiments at the lab.
New thermoplastic rubber with high impact punch
This material would be considered valuable in the automotive industry, especially as lightweight materials that can also withstand damage are highly sought.
Testing method gauges the safety of biomaterials
The testing protocol could form the basis of an early-warning system to flag materials that are not suitable for clinical use inside the human body.
Watch labor shortages introduce pharmaceutical struggles
A survey completed in Ohio found that 60% of workers felt that their workload was forcing them to perform their duties unsafely or ineffectively.
New audio tech for border surveillance
Dstl suggests that the patented technology behind POPE could also be used in other applications including as directional detection systems for gunshots or drones.
Chemists create new mode of adsorption
Mechanisorption uses mechanical bonds in the form of molecular chains physically threaded through rings to control the chemistry at surfaces and interfaces.
