In a new conference paper, Argonne engineers test advanced AI to see if it could help nuclear power plant operators understand and fix problems more easily.
As we use electricity to power more and more -- everything from vehicles to lawn mowers -- it's getting harder for utilities to manage the distribution transformers that are in every neighborhood. Iowa State's Zhaoyu Wang is leading an effort to develop a system that will help utilities maintain the important links between the power grid and homes, farms and businesses.
A University of Miami researcher is developing wind-powered cylinders that would propel today’s massive cargo ships, lessening the shipping industry’s dependence on fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
CHARM3D paves the way for the efficient printing of free-standing 3D structures that offer high electrical conductivity, self-healing capabilities and recyclability — a boon for electronics in healthcare, communications and security
Plitek is pleased to announce its participation in ADLM 2024, where it will be presenting its clean room converting capabilities at Booth 4843. Plitek’s focus will be showcasing commitment to delivering tailored solutions to diagnostics and medical device companies.
Engineering researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have demonstrated a state-of-the-art hardware device that could reduce energy consumption for artificial intelligent (AI) computing applications by a factor of at least 1,000.
This August, a student team at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System, is set to launch its biggest payload yet into the upper atmosphere from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va.
Testing weapons and components in a lab-controlled environment has always been at the center of Sandia National Laboratories’ mission. A newly developed method is getting better results, with fewer tests, in less time.
University of Florida, University of Central Florida, Arizona State University and Vanderbilt partnering to offer training to businesses, innovators and entrepreneurs to help propel them into the new space economy; applications open Aug. 8
Inspired by cicada wings, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology study the insects’ antimicrobial properties to develop new antibacterial surfaces.
The reactivity of zirconium on silicon nitride enhances the conversion of propane into propylene, a key commodity chemical needed to make polypropylene. This finding hints at the reactivity researchers might achieve with other nontraditional catalysts.
Earth’s atmosphere holds an ocean of fresh water. Extracting some of that moisture is seen as a potential way to provide clean drinking water to billions of people globally who face chronic shortages. A prototype device developed by University of Utah engineers for the U.S. Army harvests drinking water from atmosphere, even in arid places.
A Southwest Airlines flight crew is under investigation after flying dangerously close to the ocean when attempting to land at Tampa International Airport on July 14th. The plane dropped to 150 feet above the water - the height of an average water tower - before accelerating to regain altitude. This is the third time Southwest has had a low-altitude incident this year.
3DBioFibR Inc., a leader in the development of nature-inspired biomaterials, has announced its partnership with the RegeneratOR Test Bed to further its mission of revolutionizing tissue engineering.
Illinois Grainger Engineering physics professor Brian DeMarco stood on stage in Chicago on Tuesday when Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker announced the new federal- and state-funded Quantum Proving Ground (QPG), which promises to combine scientific rigor with industry and academic expertise to design the future of quantum computing.
Researchers explored nonlinear information encoding in diffractive processors based on linear materials. They revealed that simpler-to-implement phase encoding matches the accuracy of data repetition strategies across various test datasets. While data repetition-based diffractive blocks cannot provide optical analogs to fully-connected or convolutional layers employed in digital neural networks, they are effective in enhancing inference accuracy. This research provides insights into the interplay between linear material-based diffractive systems and nonlinear encoding strategies in visual information processors.
Building on nearly 15 years of research, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are exploring magnetrons as the drivers of modern particle accelerators. This could lower the carbon footprint of these energy-hungry machines and help them benefit society far beyond the realm of scientific research.
A dataset introduced by NYU Tandon and autonomous vehicle company May Mobility provides researchers with a wealth of previously-unavailable real-world driving data captured from multiple autonomous vehicles (AVs) over repeated trips, promising to accelerate development of AV technology.
Dr. Jaeyeon Pyo’s team at the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute has revealed light emission patterns from 3D-printed nanowires, expecting technological innovation in ultra-high resolution displays, published as a cover article in ACS Nano.
