RFID-Based Recycling Technology Makes Philadelphia Greener
Electrical engineers have developed a system that identifies a recycling bin by its household, using Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) chips embedded in the bins. Bins are scanned and weighed ... > more -
Meteorologist Will Take Lead in Issuing Closely Watched Forecasts
Bill Gray, the lead author of closely-watched seasonal hurricane forecasts, is passing the torch to his collaborator Phil Klotzbach, a man whose accomplishments are all the more surprising ... > more -
Engineering Students Build Next-Generation Bathyscaphe
Computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering students at the University of Florida have built a fully automated underwater vehicle. Driven by five thrusters and controlled by complex electronics, ... > more -
Physical Chemists Devise Quick Spectrometry-Based Mercury Test
Physical chemists have created a new, cheap test to detect mercury, an element known to harm the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and immune system. A gold nanorod absorbs mercury from a sample and, then ... > more -
Civil Engineers Learn from Dutch Flood Barrier System
A group of U.S. civil engineers and city officials went on a recent trip to the Netherlands -- a country much of which is below sea level -- to study the country's storm surge barrier system. The ... > more -
Oceanographers Uncover The Physics Of Rip Currents
Rip currents flow in very erratic patterns, not in steady courses as previously believed -- which may help explain why they can be so dangerous even for experienced swimmers. Oceanographers have ... > more -
Disaster Experts Map Risk Across the Nation
Disaster experts including meteorologists and seismologists have identified the types of catastrophic events the United States is most likely to face, quantifying the risk of earthquakes, urban ... > more
