Computer Scientists Investigate Traffic Lights To Improve Fuel Economy
Using a mathematical model, transportation engineers can design optimum traffic light timing patterns for the fewest stops and driving delays. Improving traffic flow would decrease fuel consumption. ... > more -
Fire Scientists Engineer Water-free, Environmentally Safe Fire Suppressant
Fire scientists developed a fluid that stops hot particles from kindling flames and suppresses fires. It does not cause damage to water soluble inks, nor does it contribute to serious environmental ... > more -
Computer Scientists Create System That Gives Users A Sense Of Touch
A non-mechanical haptic interface allows computer users to manipulate a three dimensional object on screen and receive immediate tactile response from the surroundings of that object. The interface ... > more -
Civil Engineers Design Walk Through Butterfly Museum Exhibit
Structural engineers created a cocoon-like structure to hold butterflies and keep them flying around visitors. Low ceilings keep the insects at visitor-level, while screened-off ventilation systems ... > more -
Biochemists Develop Proteomic Test For Breast Cancer
Biochemists look at 22 protein biomarkers to distinguish patients with breast cancer from those without it. The early detection test complements mammograms and is most applicable to women who are at ... > more -
Computer Scientists Program Robots To Play Soccer, Communicate With Bees
Engineers built humanoid robots that can recognize objects by color by processing information from a camera mounted on the robot's head. The robots are programmed to play soccer, with the intention ... > more -
Engineers' Case Protects America’s Birth Certificate
Engineers designed a case to protect the map that first used the word "America" to describe the land masses now called North and South America. The air-tight container is made of two large sheets of ... > more -
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 -
Engineers Guide Students To Apply Basic Principles To Toy Car Design
Students learned the principles of engineering and manufacturing when asked to design a toy car for a contest. They used computer design software to shape the car, then created wax and aluminum molds ... > 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
