Engineers Test Ventilated Seats And Thermal-Acoustic System To Make A/C Energy-Efficient
Engineers at a national lab have shown that small fans embedded in car seats could help cool passengers down -- saving up to 7 percent of the 30 to 40 gallons of gasoline per year an average driver ... > more -
Physical Chemists Develop New High-Capacity Storage Technology
Holograms allow permanent optical data storage and retrieval with far higher densities than CDs or DVDs, using the interference patterns of two lasers. Physical chemists are now developing the ... > 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 -
