Acoustic waves wash microplastics from water
The force produced by acoustic waves generated with two speakers was demonstrated to separate microplastics by increasing pressure on a three-channel tube of inflowing water.
Watch a RHINO on the scent of wastewater treatment plant odors
Affixed to a drone, the electronic nose sniffs out and measures odors emanating from wastewater treatment facilities.
World's first laser-based manipulation of antimatter
Recent developments in laser-based cooling of antimatter could provide valuable insights into how our world and universe works.
Quality assurance in fastener assembly
It is more important than ever for quality assurance teams to provide effective support for workers in every step of the assembly process.
Video: Countdown to liftoff for James Webb Space Telescope
The observatory has been fueled in preparation for its late December launch on an Ariane 5 rocket from the European Space Agency Spaceport in French Guiana.
Reducing nitrate in groundwater with organic carbon
Nitrate degradation is enhanced by adding carbon-containing substances to groundwater.
Researchers develop rapid testing tool for COVID-19
The goal is to offer a highly accurate test that can be used in health facilities, but also in homes as well.
Critical need for eco-friendly firefighting foam
Currently there is nothing on the market that comes close to the effectiveness of AFFF that could be considered environmentally friendly and a deadline is fast approaching.
Chew on this to reduce COVID transmission
Chewing gum containing vegetable protein functions as a viral trap and reduces the viral load in saliva and potentially transmission.
This camera can see the unseen
This research could play a large part in noninvasive medical imaging, finding health issues at more treatable phases. Navigation systems in vehicles and industrial machinery can be repaired in record time.
Video: Drilling for deep ice in Antarctica
Researchers plan to collect the oldest continuous ice core in Antarctica and provide a record of the climate spanning some 1.5 million years.
NASA awards Intuitive Machines lunar delivery contract
Intuitive Machines’ Nova-C lander is headed toward the lunar swirl known as Reiner Gamma.
Startup laboratory devoted to cultivating breastmilk
Scientists inspired by their own motherhood and breastfeeding experiences want to help create a solution that offers more than current infant formula choices on supermarket shelves.
Quantum material pushes electrons to the limit
Until these discoveries, scientists were unable to fully test the extreme quantum limit’s physics because of the level of difficulty. This could bring huge advancements to quantum computing.
Hummingbird device eradicates COVID-19 in HVAC
The Hummingbird EQ with Air Vaccine technology reportedly captured and deactivated the airborne COVID-19 virus upon the first airflow pass through of the system by roughly 99.5%.
Team detects COVID-19 in HVAC samples
The research team has determined that testing the air in building ventilation systems could potentially mean earlier detection of COVID-19, better quarantine protocols, fewer COVID-19 outbreaks and reduced transmission of the virus.
Laser trialed for enhanced cancer treatment
Each beam can deliver 15 joules of energy in a pulse duration of 30 femtoseconds -- that’s 30 millionths of one billionth of one second.
Thermal compressed air meter with integrated pressure and temperature sensor
Four process values can be read for effective energy management.
UConn sensor images microbial growth quickly
The sensor can also image bacterial growth in 15 seconds over a centimeter-scale field of view, essentially monitoring in real time.
Video: New device detects wide range of VOCs
A new personal air-sampling system detects a range of pollutants from a badge about the size of a credit card.
