Plasma gasification can cure COVID biomedical waste ills
The high-temperature waste decomposition process deactivates infectious materials and yields valuable synthesis gas.
How to protect electronic components with dam and fill method
This video shows how a damming compound and filler material can protect an electronic component.
Transforming coal waste into silica aerogel
Coal gangue, a solid waste generated during coal mining and washing, represents a silicon-rich feedstock that can be exploited for the economical synthesis of industrially valuable silica aerogels.
Thermoreversible gel paves the way to programmable nanocrystal networks
A new type of tunable nanocrystal gel offers scope for use as thermal camouflage or as a temperature regulator for buildings.
Bio-based copolymer resin helps consumer electronics industry achieve net-zero carbon emissions goals
The bio-based polycarbonate copolymer can help the consumer electronics industry meet net-zero carbon emissions goals.
Plasma-enhanced HVAC filter promises to stop the spread of COVID-19
Immediately after passing through the plasma filter during lab tests, the researchers determined that the aerosolized virus culture was inactivated by roughly 99.8%.
Antiviral/antibacterial additive developed by KIMS researchers
Applications for the non-toxic additive include films for display technology, textiles, home appliances, windows, automobiles, sanitary products, furniture and medical supplies.
Video: Cleanup complete at plutonium finishing plant
Final project demobilization and documentation activities, including pressure-washing equipment and surveying for contamination, were completed in December 2021.
World first: Solar power used to produce clinker
The world's first solar clinker, a key component of cement, has been produced by CEMEX and Synhelion.
The seven hottest years on record
The past seven years have been the hottest ever recorded globally, according to Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Tight tolerance control allows pumping without seals
Insaco machines and polishes technical ceramic to extreme tolerances. Applications benefit in many fields.
Kombucha cultures improve living water filters
Water filters made from a kombucha culture with living bacteria and yeast are more resistant to clogging compared to traditional membrane filters.
Report identifies dozens of “super-emitting” oil and gas facilities
The report also revealed that repairing said leaks could potentially reduce 100,000 metric tons of methane annually — or prevent $26 million a year in wasted gas.
A bio-based method for rare Earth recovery
A beneficial link between bacteria and the rare Earth element supply chain has been forged by researchers from Pennsylvania State University and U.S. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Scientists aim to keep underwater pipelines open using neutron-based technique
TechnipFMC, a company that specializes in subsea pipelines, turned to neutrons — subatomic particles — to function as a probe dubbed Prompt Gamma Activation Analysis (PGAA).
New cellulose-based thin film shows promise for several applications
The new cellulosed-based film reportedly demonstrated enhanced strength, toughness, stiffness and extensibility when measured against other films.
Study maps sewage inputs to coastal ecosystems
A global wastewater model and map identify inputs of nitrogen and pathogens across 130,000 watersheds worldwide.
Video: Improving the efficiency of plastic waste separation
Research provides insights to improve waste plastic recovery with magnetic density separation technology.
Researchers test coating-reinforced highway columns against collision, explosion
The researchers sought to determine the effectiveness of protecting such structures by wrapping the columns in a fiber-reinforced polymer or coating them in a compound called polyurea.
Coating improves pipeline performance
IFC is a nano-composite coating that uses small molecular structures for coating microscopic crevices in existing pipelines, resulting in improved gas pipeline productivity and lowered greenhouse gas emissions.
