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….

Making synthesis gas – a blend of hydrogen and carbon monoxide – is a key step in turning natural gas or biomass into bulk chemicals, such as acetic acid,…
With knowledge from many fields, it is possible to propose the right solution for the aircraft's control system at an early stage. This reduces the risk of…
A new turbulence detection system now being tested is alerting pilots to patches of rough air as they fly through clouds. The system, designed by the National…
Many sensitive heating processes run faster, more efficiently and somewhat more stable when infrared emitters with the new QRC reflector are used.Comprehensive…
Although relatively new to the market, liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions soon may be obsolete, thanks to a new technique created by University of…
In the last years, the tunnel fires have shown that the tunnel support structure is severely damaged at an extremely high fire impact. “In some tunnels, up to…
Concrete is an artificial rock produced from cement, aggrgates (sand and gravel or broken stone) and water. It cannot be considered as a material with…
From an energy efficiency perspective, roof technology has not progressed substantially in hundreds of years, but that is changing with the use of active…
At approximately 15 million degrees, protons — the nuclei of hydrogen atoms — and light elements can fuse to form new nuclei. Several such steps eventually…
The technology produces hydrogen by adding water to an alloy of aluminum and gallium. When water is added to the alloy, the aluminum splits water by attracting…
