The NEW E8500 combustion analyzer is a complete portable tool for EPA compliance level emissions monitoring and testing.
The Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship (Rice Alliance) announced the 10 Energy & Clean Technology Most Promising Company Awards at the 12th Annual Energy & Clean Technology Venture Forum in Houston last week.
A group of researchers from Mainz and Darmstadt have established a chemical bond between a carbon atom and a superheavy element for the first time ever. The researchers established a chemical bond between seaborgium and a carbon atom by converting eighteen atoms of seaborgium into seaborgium hexacarbonyl complexes.

CyberOptics® Corporation announced that its newest CX150i™ automated coating inspection system and SE600™ 3D SPI systems will be highlighted in the Inspection and Rework (Tour 1 and 3) portion of the Tech...
Researchers at MIT have developed a new bounding algorithm, which enabled a cheetah robot to sprint across grass. During indoor tests it reached a speed of 10mph and on the Killian Court it bounded at a steady clip. This robot is expected to reach a speed of 30mph.
University of Massachusetts, Amherst researchers have designed a light-weight, highly efficient and easily processable solar cell that can use almost any metal as the electrode, successfully impairing the so-called ‘electrode barrier’.
University of Arkansas engineers have developed as a new semiconductor material that holds promise for cost-effective photodetectors used in production of infrared cameras for smartphones. This material comprises of a silicon substrate on which layers of germanium tin are deposited.
Researchers from the MIT have succeeded in designing a skin-tight, pressurized spacesuit integrated with tiny, spring-like coils, which contract when heated. Shape-memory alloy (SMA) was used to create the coil. SMA is a material that can return to its original shape when bent or deformed. It has the unique property of “remembering” its original shape.
