In a nature-inspired engineering experiment, a team from the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University has developed a new way of structuring a cement composite –…
Most of the time, when you hear the word ozone, you’ll probably be thinking of the protective layer in the atmosphere that absorbs ultraviolet radiation from the sun (particularly UVA and UVB). But,…
In order to reduce our impact on the planet, it’s vital that we develop new methods to lessen anthropogenic emissions (those produced directly from human activities). The construction industry, for…
Fluid dynamics and uncovering how liquids can behave are an underrated avenue for improving energy and fuel consumption efficiency. In order to deepen our understanding of this topic, a team of…
Researchers based at Chuo University in Japan have developed a novel new method to improve non-destructive capabilities using carbon nanotubes (CNT). Non-destructive testing (or NDT) is an incredibly…
Over the past few decades, we’ve seen a surge of interest in finding new and alternative materials to replace more harmful or environmentally damaging products from daily life – and plastic is one of…
Reducing the amount of carbon released via emissions is vital to reducing our impact on the atmosphere and lowering the rate of global warming. Carbon capture and reduction techniques have therefore…
Scientists are constantly working to develop new methods, materials, and techniques to reduce our reliance on carbon-based products and energy sources. In fact, the popularity of renewable energy…
In a groundbreaking first, experts from Sheffield Forgemasters have built a full-sized SMR nuclear vessel in 24 hours using LEBW – or local electron-beam welding. This is a pivotal moment for welding…
Recapturing waste materials and finding new uses for them is a vital component of a circular material economy, and can have a massive impact on the sustainability of different processes. It’s in this…
