U.S. researchers are perfecting simulations that show a nuclear weapon's performance in molecular detail, which is critical because international treaties forbid the detonation of nuclear test weapons.
Sandia modeling study contradicts a long-held belief of geologists that pore sizes and chemical compositions are uniform throughout a given strata, which are horizontal slices of sedimentary rock. By understanding the variety of pore sizes and spatial patterns in strata, geologists can help achieve more production from underground oil reservoirs and water aquifers. Better understanding also means more efficient use of potential underground carbon storage sites, and better evaluations of the possible movement of radionuclides in nuclear waste depositories to determine how well the waste will be isolated.
Researchers are studying the effects of wind deposition of dust and other particulates, such as pollen or bacteria, on water quality and soil formation.
Seven of the top 15 high schools in Arizona ranked by U.S. News & World Report offer ENGR 102 HS, the engineering introduction course from the University of Arizona College of Engineering.
Researchers have developed a novel technology that could change how industry designs and casts complex, costly metal parts. This new casting method makes possible faster prototype development times, as well as more efficient and cost-effective manufacturing procedures.
Researchers are automating some of the processes by which computer-based designs are turned into real world entities, developing techniques that fabricate building elements directly from digital designs, and allowing custom components to be manufactured rapidly and at low cost.
A textured surface mimics a lotus leaf to move drops of liquid in particular directions. The low-cost system could be used in portable medical or environmental tests.
A prototype "smart drive" connected traffic system developed by University of Arizona and Maricopa County engineers that can clear red light signals and warn of traffic tie-ups is demonstrated in Anthem.
Engineers have discovered previously unknown properties of a common computer memory material, paving the way for new memory drives, movie discs and computer systems that absorb data more quickly, last longer and allow far more capacity than current data storage media.
A doctoral candidate at Tennessee Tech University has created a hydrogel that makes it much easier separate proteins to study a biological sample, such as a blood test. His work, which was recently patented, could be revolutionary.
Dr. Ajay K. Agrawal, a University of Alabama engineering professor, was recently granted a patent for a breakthrough technology for noise reduction in combustion. This technology decreases the noise generated by combustion systems at the source by placing a sponge-like material directly in the flame.
The first-ever Cornell Cup USA presented by Intel, a national engineering student competition to explore embedded design, takes place Friday and Saturday at Walt Disney World. Twenty-two teams from the nation's top schools make up an elite corps of finalists.
Researchers at the University at Buffalo School of Management have proposed a better way of measuring the capabilities of IT service providers in a study recently published in IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management.
A team of chemical engineers led by Paul J. Dauenhauer of the University of Massachusetts Amherst has discovered a new, high-yield method of making the key ingredient used to make plastic bottles from biomass. The process currently creates the chemical p-xylene with an efficient yield of 75-percent.
Chinese scientists employ risk assessment tools in urban planning efforts to analyze and quantify major industrial hazards in entire cities.
Scientists and engineers at UWM have discovered an entirely new semiconducting carbon-based material that is synthesized from the “wonder kid” of the carbon family, graphene. It exhibits characteristics that will make it easier to scale up than graphene.
