Imagine tires that charge a vehicle as it drives, streetlights powered by the rumble of traffic, or skyscrapers that generate electricity as the buildings naturally sway and shudder. These energy innovations could be possible thanks to researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Researchers at Institut Fresnel have developed an Extended Depth-of-Field Random Illumination Microscope (EDF-RIM) that integrates 3D speckle illumination for super-resolved imaging and extended depth detection for faster acquisition of thick samples. EDF-RIM captures entire 3D volumes in a single projection, reducing acquisition time and light exposure.
The research team led by Principal Researcher Byungchang Jung of KIMM has recently developed a “smart valve system” capable of autonomously and promptly responding to incidents within 60 seconds from the occurrence thereof, and successfully carried out the performance verification of this system on a 3,200-ton vessel currently being constructed by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
After years of testing, a new version of CDA was found to be the fastest degrading bioplastic material tested in seawater—and it’s a promising replacement for other foam plastic materials, like Styrofoam, which can linger in the environment for many years.
An Iowa State engineer is leading development of cybersecurity tools to guard power grids that carry renewable energy resources such as such as wind or solar farms. The researchers will develop "zero-trust" tools to reduce cyber exposure. The U.S. Department of Energy is supporting the project.
In new research published in the journal Fuel, Baylor University researchers with the Cornerstone Atomization and Combustion Lab (CAC) have unveiled a pioneering method for the efficient combustion of biofuels, using a revolutionary Swirl Burst (SB) injector to burn glycerol/methanol blends with near-zero emissions. This new technology enables ultra-clean combustion for fuels that are typically difficult to burn due to their high viscosity.
In an Argonne-led project, researchers used X-ray microscopy to discover a ferroelectric material that tailors its response to controlled ultrafast external stimuli, such as light pulses. The material might be applicable to energy-efficient microelectronics.
To enhance biosensor development via artificial intelligence (AI) and offer STEM education opportunities to K-12 students from underserved communities, the U.S. National Science Foundation recently awarded researchers at Penn State a three-year, $1.5 million grant.
Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Energy Technology Laboratory have developed and 3D printed the lightest crack-free alloy capable of operating without melting at temperatures above 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. This milestone could enable additively manufactured turbine blades to better handle extreme temperatures, reducing the carbon footprint of gas turbine engines such as those used in airplanes.
A joint research team has developed an energy system model optimized for Korea's environment and proposed an optimal strategy for utilizing hydrogen energy. The scientific evidence derived from this research is expected to support the development of government policies and research and development strategies related to carbon neutrality.
Teleoperated robots for gathering moon dust are a step closer, according to new research by scientists at the University of Bristol.
The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded $600,000 to Penn State’s Silicon Carbide Innovation Alliance (SCIA) to develop a series of educational courses, workshops, and paid academic and industrial internships focused on workforce development in Pennsylvania for the growing semiconductor industry.
Collaboration among three Georgia institutions of higher education on the operation of a new weather radar system will enhance student learning, provide new opportunities for research, and help improve severe weather coverage in north Georgia.
The Korean research team of the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials has succeeded in developing an oil-free cryogenic turboexpander that uses Zero-GWP refrigerants, and has completed the demonstration testing of an expander used for natural gas liquefaction.
Dr. Kyung Tae Kim from the Nano Materials Research Division at KIMS, has developed a bismuth telluride (Bi-Te) based thermoelectric material with artificially formed atomic-scale defects and proposed a solution to improve its properties in order to harness wasted thermal energy.
A research team examines the extent of damage and associated costs on the 2020 Labor Day wildfires in Washington, Oregon, and California, comparing with the historical impact of megafires in these states.
Expansion of Washington Clean Energy Testbeds will enable fabrication of pouch cells to accelerate the next generation of faster-charging, higher-energy-density, and earth-friendly batteries.
This study explores rockburst challenges in deep mining, examining factors causing rockbursts and assessing rockburst risks using bow-tie analysis. It presents various rockburst risk control and mitigation methods, including strategic engineering (mine design, mining sequencing), tactical measures (ground pre-conditioning, rock support), and administrative controls (evacuation protocols, mechanized equipment).
