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 -
Anaplastologists And Otolaryngologists Rebuild Noses With Laser Scanning Technique
Biomedical engineers developed a process to make it easier to create a custom nose shape for patients. It uses laser surface scanning to create more accurate shapes and a plastic prototype model. ... > 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 -
Physiologists Create Undergarment To Measure Vital Signs Of Firefighters
Industrial hygienists designed a flexible undergarment to take accurate readings of vital signs such as heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature. They monitor these indicators to protect ... > more -
Engineers Use Mine Roof Simulator To Increase Mine Safety
Industrial hygienists, applying geology and engineering, can test mine support systems with the only mine roof simulator of its kind. Using up to 3 million pounds of vertical force and 1.6 million ... > more -
Ergonomists Design More Customizable Office Chair
Ergonomists created a chair that allows users to adjust the lumbar supports asymmetrically, addressing what they found in research. Over 70 percent of those tested wanted asymmetrical support in the ... > more -
Cognitive Scientists Use fMRI To Watch Brains While Eyes Search
Cognitive scientists ran an experiment to understand how the brain searches for an object with a known shape. They asked subjects to track the movement of dots, and used fMRI to see which parts of ... > more -
Physiologists Design Advanced Suit To Cool Firefighters
Safety scientists used principles of physiology to help keep firefighters cool in the high temperature environments they often encounter. Traditional firefighting gear considers the heat of the fire, ... > more
