Report: Hospitalizations for heart attacks, heart failure higher for older adults living near fracking sites
University of Chicago researchers examined Medicare claims data from 2002 through 2015 — a time frame that was considered to be the peak of the unconventional natural gas development (UNGD) boom, otherwise known as fracking.
Celanese completes EVA capacity expansion at Acetyl Chain facility in Edmonton
The increased capacity will support growing demand for ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) in solar and other applications.
How "reverse camouflage" helps my small car remain visible in traffic
Here's how lights and stripes can lend themselves to improving automotive safety.
Researchers 3D print bricks from eggshells
Under the so-called Eggshell Project, the researchers sought to address two concerns: reducing the high gas emissions of the ceramics industry and finding solutions for food waste.
Pandemic plastics repurposed as carbon dots
A single-step, organic solvent-free, hydrothermal process offers a scalable approach to upcycling plastic waste.
A drive to design safer, snow-free roads
Added to asphalt prior to paving, microcapsules containing a chloride-free salt mixture can provide long-term snow melting capabilities on winter roads.
Team develops recycled glass-derived building cladding
The non-combustible claddings are composed of 83% recycled glass combined with plastic binders and fire-retardant additives — overcoming what the researchers suggest is the brittle and vulnerable-to-fracture nature of exclusively glass claddings.
Will garbage dumps fuel a hydrogen revolution?
As countries around the world race to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels, landfills may be the answer.
This system keeps its cool without grid power
New technology engineered at MIT bypasses the power grid to deliver passive cooling for space conditioning, food preservation and other applications.
Video: Closed loop design cuts steel plant emissions
An easily retrofitted solution could significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the steelmaking industry.
Measuring flow without any obstacles: The SU Puresonic ultrasonic sensor
Flow measurement of applications with ultra-pure water and water-based media with up to 10% additives.
Non-cytotoxic epoxy withstands multiple methods of medical sterilization
Featuring high temperature resistance and good strength properties, the epoxy can be used for bonding, sealing and coating in medical devices.
SABIC to showcase at OFC 2023 new near-IR transparent thermo-optical resins to enhance bandwidth and energy efficiency in optical components
The company will display several specialized, high-heat thermoplastics that can facilitate the adoption of cutting-edge optical technologies.
Recovering rare Earth elements and remediating coal mine drainage
A passive water treatment system remediates coal mine drainage while also capturing critical elements of industrial value.
Carbon-based nanocomposites for EMI shielding
Carbon-based nanocomposites have emerged as effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials.
CFS unveils new hook locks to prevent part loss during coating processes
Fitting over the end of the hook, this solution prevents part loss during wash and immersion cycles.
Team repurposes abandoned oil and gas well in Illinois
This marks first field investigation of a geothermal energy storage system within a geologic structure deep within the subsurface of the Illinois Basin.
Video: Tool for rapid detection of nuclear contamination
Rapid color detection within one minute — purple for uranium and pink for plutonium — indicates possible nuclear contamination.
Team to strengthen bioplastics with cream of tartar?
While most bioplastics available today tend to be on the flimsier side because they are designed to break down easier, the team explore additives as an avenue for strengthening the material.
Leader Tech thermal gap fillers address the most difficult of thermal demands
These products are ideal for use in high-power electronics, high-performance computing, data centers and other applications where reliable thermal management is crucial.
