Mechanical Engineers Create High-tech Solar Panels
Photovoltaic panels have a new design: concentric circles that focus the sun's rays on miniaturized modules. Having the panels automatically sense sunlight and turn towards it also makes these ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Money-saving Light System
A photosensor paired with a dimming ballast controls fluorescent lighting and adjusts lights all over the user's home. A microcontroller automatically calibrates amounts of daylight and adjusts ... > more -
Mathematicians To Thank For Great Graphics
100 powerful supercomputers perform geometrical, algebraic and calculus-based calculations to animate Pixar's characters. The laws of physics that inform the dynamics of fabric movement are most used ... > more -
Physicist Explains Basic Principles Through Hands-on Fun
A Colorado State University professor has discovered how to get teens excited about science. Jones' Little Shop of Physics consists of 200 experiments using common household products that spin, glow, ... > more -
Doppler-based Stethoscope Ignores Outside Sounds
A new ultrasound stethoscope ignores outside noise, allowing medics to hear life-saving sounds inside the body. Developed by electrical engineers, the device exploits the Doppler effect as it sends ... > more -
Chemists Create Self-assembling Conductive Rubber
Polymer chemists have created a flexible, indestructible material, called metal rubber, that can be heated, frozen, washed or doused with jet fuel, and still retain its electricity-conducting ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, ... > more -
Civil Engineers Improve Houses Against Hurricanes
Polystyrene blocks used to build the walls in the home have survived a direct hit from a tornado, and improved version used in houses incorporates concrete with steel reinforcing inside. On a ... > more -
Optical Engineering Makes Movie Motion Realistic
Students at the Aesthetic Technologies Lab are recording the way light bends to track their every move and improve movie technology. Long strips of fiber optic tubes snake around the body and are ... > more -
Human Factors Engineers Improve DIY Tools
