Many consumers buy A-rated appliances in the belief that they are more efficient, focusing on the rating rather then looking at the energy the devices use in…
In the main, today’s robots are not that clever. They cannot climb or navigate in vertical pipes – and very few have active joints.Cybernetics and optical…
Use of pressurized air “active flow control” techniques combined with conventional aerodynamic streamlining could improve fuel efficiency by 8 to 12 percent in…
While Asian firms currently dominate the overall display screen market, Europe is now a leader in the production of flexible electronic displays segment,…
Most countries currently have radiological monitoring to monitor radioactivity levels in the environment and to detect the level of natural radioactivity. Also…
The GE ® Hybrid Water Heater is affordable and designed to be 50 % more energy efficient than a standard 50 gallon electric water heater, which should help…
Manufacturers normally stack the fuel cells – a structure consisting of several metal plates, each containing one channel for air and one for hydrogen. This…
Production often comes to a standstill until the error has finally been pinpointed – and that can take hours. The causes are legion; in many cases it is all…
Johns Hopkins University researchers and colleagues in China have unlocked some of the secrets of newly discovered iron-based high-temperature superconductors,…
Movies portray robots that can move through the world as easily as humans, and use their hands to operate everything from dishwashers to computers with ease….
The system is nearly precise enough now to help update some of the crucial underpinnings of science, including the 54-year-old definition of the Kelvin, the…
The project—in its initial feasibility phase—aims to determine whether deep underground saline reservoirs (geological features which occur commonly throughout…
In an age of dwindling natural resources, energy-saving is the order of the day. However, many technical processes use less than one-third of the energy they…
And with oil prices soaring and gas supplies dwindling, alarm bells are ringing in Brussels, says Professor Nashwan Dawood, the University of Teesside’s Cecil…
For the first time a 3.5″ 3D QVGA display will be presented, that is based on a highly-efficient, patterned and controllable OLED backlight. The technology…
IMEC and AIXTRON deposited, for the first time ever, crack-free AlGaN/GaN structures onto 200mm Si(111) wafers. The layers show good crystalline quality as…
