The system involves monitoring based on optic fibre sensors that enable the visualisation of the real time temperature of elements making up the heat…
Achieving full deployment of these efficiency technologies will depend in part on pressures driving adoption, such as high energy prices or public policies…
Now, researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, Purdue University and IBM have successfully grown silicon-germanium…
Stanford scientists are harnessing nanotechnology to quickly produce ultra-lightweight, bendable batteries and supercapacitors in the form of everyday paper.Simply coating a sheet of paper with ink made of carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires makes a highly conductive storage device, said Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering….
Conservators have been using infrared, or IR, cameras to examine and document artwork since the late 1960s. “But these cameras can cost upwards of $100,000, so…
A new type of natural-gas electric power plant proposed by MIT researchers could provide electricity with zero carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, at…
Cell phones reveal much about our daily communications—the who, when and what of our calls and texts. A small chip card within most phones, called an identity…
The electric fuel cell propulsion system onboard the Ion Tiger has the low noise and signature of a battery-powered UAV, while taking advantage of hydrogen, a…
Scientists at Monash University, in collaboration with colleagues from the universities of Wollongong and Ulm in Germany, have produced tandem dye-sensitised…
Modern antennas are made from copper or other metals, but there are limitations to how far they can be bent – and how often – before they break completely. NC…
The method, which can also be adapted for infants, has been developed by engineering researcher Parivash Ranjbar, who is submitting his findings in a new…
The researchers have learned how to create nanowires with layers of different materials that are sharply defined at the atomic level, which is a critical…
MEMS, or “MicroElectroMechanicalSystems” – deals with tiny circuits that are etched by the thousand on silicon wafers. They are used in mobile telephones,…
Battery-powered cell phones serve as hand-held computers and more these days. We run power-hungry applications while we depend on the phones to be available in…
The sensor, incorporated in optical computer mice, is usually used to guide cursor movement, but can also be used as a counterfeit coin detector. This has been…
For the Panel PCs Simatic HMI IPC477C and HMI IPC577C there are now 12″ and 15″ devices with keys in addition to the 12″, 15″ and 19″ devices with touch…
