Team seeks cement alternatives to fix leaky oil and gas wells
Innotech Alberta is exploring the possible use of over 50 different products that may one day successfully shut off wells or fix leaking well bores.
Seaweed-derived coating developed for fast-food packaging
The seaweed-derived coating has reportedly met the requirements of current grease-resistant packaging materials while simultaneously offering an environmentally circular solution to grease-resistant paper that is generally coated with plastic and other chemicals like polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs).
Ewww! Steps in municipal wastewater treatment
Follow along with Engineering360 as it explores the steps involved in treating wastewater.
Pipeline collar detects corrosion before it happens
Using magnetostrictive sensors, which produce and subsequently receive guided waves that transmit along a structure, guided by its boundaries, the researchers determined that guided waves enable hundreds of meters of pipeline to be inspected from one location.
Tracking trends in global CO2 emissions
Since 1751, the world has emitted over 1.5 trillion tons of carbon dioxide cumulatively.
Climate change in Europe: The heat is on
Climate scientists are starting to feel the heat in Europe, where atmospheric temperatures have increased at more than twice the global average over the past 30 years.
Orlando Magic advance sustainability efforts with PureCycle's PureZero program
The plastic waste recycling program is geared toward stadiums and entertainment venues.
Watch polymetallic nodule collection from the seafloor
Seafloor nodules were successfully collected and transported up a 4 km long riser system to the surface.
Adhesive Applications — Coating capabilities
Adhesive Apps is a trusted supplier for pressure sensitive adhesive bonding, laminating, gasketing, splicing and sealing applications.
Video: Vortex fluidic device drives dye degradation
The device was recently demonstrated to prepare composite materials and coat them for dye degradation during wastewater treatment.

Fundamentals of aluminum coil
Aluminum makes up about 8% of the Earth’s crust, making it the most abundant metal on this planet and widely used in a broad range of engineering applications, including metal coils.
An interactive periodic table of isotopes
Clicking on an element pulls up specific information that includes images and facts about the uses for its different isotopes.
Video: Heating the first Hanford radwaste melter
The first of two 300-ton melters that will vitrify mixed low-level radioactive and chemical tank waste is heating up at the Hanford Site in Washington.
A salty system for storing hydrogen
The method stores and releases high purity hydrogen by use of readily available bicarbonate and formate salts in the presence of naturally occurring a-amino acids.
Report: Oil spills from offshore transportation down significantly
The research suggests that the reasons behind this decrease in the occurrence of spills from pipelines and tankers is due to regulatory changes, advances in science and technology and attention to safety.
An EPIC approach to combat plastic pollution
EPIC Academy combines sustainable technologies, education and skills training to convert plastic pollution into economic value.
Team laser prints circuitry on assorted objects
According to the team, the circuit could then be applied directly to smooth surfaces, such as those on a plastic soda bottle, for instance.
Video: New materials make for quieter, safer EVs
Flame-retardant and vibration-damping materials tackle safety and comfort issues in electric vehicles (EVs).
A "bubbly" solution for detecting COVID-19
The researchers are eyeing future applications wherein the technology could be wall- or ceiling-mounted in schools and hospitals and offer alerts to occupants instantly when COVID-19 is detected in the atmosphere.
