Longer-Lasting Battery
By packing batteries with
twice as much energy-storing
material, engineers have
developed a new generation
of alkaline batteries that
can double the battery life
of your MP3 players, digital
cameras, and other gadgets.

Bus Of The Future
An engineer has designed an
electric bus that runs on
battery power. Putting
motors in each wheel makes a
transmission and driveshaft
unnecessary, and allows the
bus to ride closer to the
ground for ease of entry.

Cars of Tomorrow
Mechanical and electrical
engineers at
DaimlerChrysler, General
Motors and BMW have jointly
developed a hybrid-vehicle
technology that shuts the
internal combustion engine
off when the vehicle stops.

Light Up Tents
Material research scientists
have made electroluminescent
technology elastic and
supple enough to be knitted
and incorporated into canvas
tent panels. An electric
field is produced across the
multi-layer structure which

Engineers Make Cheaper, Brighter Displays Out Of Organic Materials
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) are plastic-based materials that are able to emit light. Engineers are beginning to make displays out of OLEDs by spraying the materials on a surface, the way an ... > more -
Musician Puts Love for Computer Science into Minimalist Synthesizer
Recycled CD cases become bare-bones music players with the addition of a simple microchip and handful of other components, in a creation by a New York University graduate student in interactive ... > more -
Civil Engineers Develop Inexpensive System to Assess Damage after Natural Disasters
A new wireless system assesses injury in a structure after it is hit by a natural disaster such as a hurricane. When a building shakes, sensors records the frequency of the movement. This data is ... > more -
Mimicking Insects to Avoid Sinking Using Surface Tension
A new robot made of ultralight carbon-fiber can stand or slowly walk on water. The principle it uses is borrowed from insects -- surface tension tends to prevent the water's surface from breaking, ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Envision Broad, Transformational Use of Flash Memory
With their high capability and no moving parts, flash drives safely store data in camera memory sticks and in some MP3 players, and they also hide in gadgets such as cell phones. Experts say once ... > more -

Interactive Computing Experts Design New Devices For Everyday Uses
Computer scientists have found new ways to use technology to make people's lives easier. Setting up cameras in the kitchen to record each step made in cooking helps cooks pick up where they left off ... > 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 -
Metallurgical Engineers Introduce Stronger, Lighter Steel
New steel technologies are offering better looks, performance and protection for cars. To make new steel alloys, metallurgical engineers are mixing different kinds of metals like nickel, with iron ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers' Device Helps Electricity Conservation
Smart meters are small computers that provide real-time information on how much electricity is being used by each customer and when, and can relay information back to the head office over the very ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Show Wireless Can Make a Difference in Emergencies
For the first time, a wireless communication system is being tested in simulated emergencies. Dispatchers can locate responders with GPS and give them directions by text message. The system relies on ... > more
