Civil Engineers Can Inspect Bridge Damage Quickly And Easily With Nanotube Skin
Engineers developed a spray or paint that coats bridges with carbon nanotubes, allowing inspectors to check for damages without depending on visual indications. The skin conducts electrical current. ... > more -
New Cast Skate Absorbs Impact, Distributes Weight, and Protects the Cast
Biomedical engineering principles helped an inventor create a boot that fits over a supportive cast, making it easier to walk without crutches. The device spreads the load over a larger area to ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Test For Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Electrical engineers use multiple wavelengths of light to see through the skin in order to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood. This approach enables first responders and doctors to ... > more -
Geophysicists Show That Crust Temperature Variation Explains Half Of Elevation Differences In North America
Geophysicists determined that tectonic mountain-building processes are not the only factor that determines elevation in North America. The temperature of the crust affects its density, and lower ... > more
