Industrial Designers Develop Harness To Provide Spine Support During Water Rescues
Industrial designers created a floating support brace from foam and other materials. It protects the spine from damage during swiftwater rescues. The harness corrects itself if it turns upside down ... > more -
Physicists Create Highly Sensitive Explosives Detector
A tiny sensor that monitors electrical conductivity allows scientists to detect the presence of explosives. The sensor measures the conductivity of two different thin films, one made of a cobalt ... > more -
Chemists And Materials Scientists Develop Paint That Reveals Evidence Of Impacts
Chemists created a paint embedded with pressure-sensitive capsules that contain a contrastingly colored dye. Violent scratches, dents, or strikes cause the capsules to burst. Visual inspections for ... > more -
Food Chemists Use 'Edible Antifreeze' To Make Smoother Ice Cream
Chemists adding a tasteless edible protein called gelatin hydrolysate to ice cream find that it keeps ice crystals small, resulting in a smoother, more pleasing product. The protein inhibits the ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers Reinforce Flimsy Fishing Lures
Materials scientists and engineers added reinforcements to flexible plastic fishing lures to keep them from snapping off their hooks. Braiding microfibers into the lures with techniques used in ... > more -
Engineers Design Two Piece Magnetic Aquarium Pump
Chemical engineers developed a pump that splits into two pieces, a propeller for the interior of the aquarium and a motor for the exterior, connected across the glass wall by strong magnets. The ... > more -
Transportation Researchers Calculate Number Of Crashes Due To Bad Weather
Researchers and statisticians found that 24% of all crashes occur during adverse weather conditions, including ice, snow, and rain. The research showed that most drivers do not account for adverse ... > more -
Industrial Technologists Design Smart Pen To Record What It Writes And Hears
Psychoacoustics researchers and industrial technologists use a pen computer to assist visually impaired students to learn science and math. The pen writes in ink, but when used on paper printed with ... > more -
Engineers Create Virtual Crash Test Dummies
Engineers developed a humanlike computerized dummy to improve the analysis of crash safety. The software simulates a crash in three dimensions, allowing researchers to view injuries from different ... > more -
Engineers And Computer Scientists Use Computers To Simulate Car Crashes
