Mechanical Engineers Create High-tech Solar Panels
Photovoltaic panels have a new design: concentric circles that focus the sun's rays on miniaturized modules. Having the panels automatically sense sunlight and turn towards it also makes these ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Money-saving Light System
A photosensor paired with a dimming ballast controls fluorescent lighting and adjusts lights all over the user's home. A microcontroller automatically calibrates amounts of daylight and adjusts ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Find Tree Combo For Carbon Sequestration
A research team found 31 hardy trees that sequester carbon efficiently for the New York region, mitigating against the impacts of high deforestation and carbon release into the atmosphere in that ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, ... > more -
Civil Engineers Improve Houses Against Hurricanes
Polystyrene blocks used to build the walls in the home have survived a direct hit from a tornado, and improved version used in houses incorporates concrete with steel reinforcing inside. On a ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists And Meteorologists Use Driftsondes For Hurricane Forecasts
For decades, meteorologists have launched balloons to measure and track weather patterns. Now, these balloons are helping tropical forecasters better pinpoint the motion and severity of forming ... > more -
Environmental Scientists Use Fish Behavior To Monitor Water Quality
Researchers are using bluegills to detect industrial and agricultural spills in water supplies. Changes in the environment cause the fishes' behavior and breathing patterns to change. Electrodes are ... > more -
Engineers Design Nails To Better Resist Natural Disasters
Geometry and mathematical calculations were used to design a next-generation nail for building homes that are twice as resistant to high winds and nearly 50 percent more resistant to earthquake ... > more
