    The process slashes both the energy and product consumption involved with rare Earth element recovery.

  • Rocket scientists developing torpedo-like missile that can swim and fly

    According to blueprints recently detailed in the Journal of Solid Rocket Technology, which is published by the Chinese Society of Astronautics, the torpedo-like missile will demonstrate both range and speeds much greater than any torpedo currently in development.

  • Tips to improve power conversion efficiency

    New materials, advanced controllers and improved power and switching converters play a large role in enhancing power conversion efficiency.

  • Fundamentals of process safety

    When process safety goes awry, the incident makes the nightly or even national news, and the surrounding communities can feel the impact.

  • Self-sterilizing film kill viruses using room lights

    The Queen’s University Belfast team suggests that the self-sterilizing film could be used to replace disposable plastic films used in the healthcare industry and also used on surfaces in food production factories.

  • Marine microbes munch on this biodegradable plastic

    New polyurethane foam formulations not only biodegrade in land-based composts but also quickly biodegrade in seawater.
