Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
The system is based on PEM (proton exchange membrane) technology, in which electricity decomposes water into hydrogen and oxygen. If the electrolysis uses…
While high hurdles stand before the cheap manufacturing of fuel cells, engineers and scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago and nearby Argonne…
An exit before 2020, however, could push up emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the short term. Yet security of supply is the crucial point. This security…
The construction work took one and half years and the new 20,000 square meter facility doubles the existing capacity for testing complete rotor blades. A…
In fact, the steel, now trademarked as Flash Bainite, has tested stronger and more shock-absorbing than the most common titanium alloys used by industry.Now…
The perfect data storage solution should offer fast access to data, maintain data in the absence of external power, and be able to withstand large numbers of…
University of Pennsylvania researchers have developed a way to form these structures so they can operate in open-air environments, and, more important, have…
