New Tecnhique Reduces Flammable Exhaust Risks to Firefighters
Firefighters usually don't aim hydrants at smoke, to avoid producing steam that can come back and burn them. But smoke sometimes contains dangerous, flammable gases. Some U.S. fire departments are ... > more -
Polymer Sponge Catches Household Pollutants in Storm Drains
Storm drains fitted with a spongy material -- a synthetic polymer similar to those used in diapers -- can catch household pollutants such as paint and motor oil as they are washed off by the rain. ... > more -
Environmental Engineers, Water Scientists Develop Children's Kit for Monitoring Water Health
Playing a role once reserved for environmental engineers, children are now helping to test the health of water in their local communities. A new kit comes equipped with everything needed to test the ... > more -
Engineers Design Improved Padding for Football Players
Engineers have developed more protective padding for football players. Unlike traditional padding, the new putty-like material can be molded into protective gear to fit a player's body and better ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Detect Turbines' Turbulence Effects
Wind farms may have an impact on local weather patterns. As environmental engineers have discovered, wind farm propellers create a lot of turbulence in their wake, mixing air up and down with effects ... > more -
Physicist Calls for Airline Industry to Educate Workers about Radiation Levels
At the high altitudes and latitudes commercial airlines fly, crews are subjected to higher-than-normal radiation levels from the sun and cosmic rays. Physicist Robert Barish believes airline crew ... > more -
Mechanical Engineering Students Develop High-Altitude Reconnaissance Airships
On a shoestring, and with off-the-shelf components, students are designing prototypes of robotic blimp that could one day be used by the Pentagon. Cheaper than spy satellites, blimps can hover in ... > more -
Vascular Surgeons Lower Blood Pressure with Implanted Device
A new cell phone-sized implant can keep blood pressure in check from within the chest, just like a pacemaker controls heartbeats. When the device detects a rise in pressure, it sends electrical ... > more -
Engineers Create New Helmet to Help Troops Hear Better on Battlefield
Wearing a helmet can make it hard to figure which direction sounds -- such as gunfire -- is coming from. Soldiers in Iraq are using a new helmet, called the Advanced Combat Helmet, which is padded ... > more -
Applied Physicist Invents Training Golf Club with Audio Feedback
A new golf club uses motion-detection sensors and wireless technology to coach players through the use of sound. A golfer can "hear" the speed of the swing in wireless headphones, and adjust swings ... > more
