Sheila Kennedy, an expert in the integration of solar cell technology in architecture who is now at MIT, creates designs for flexible photovoltaic materials that may change the way buildings receive and distribute energy.
The eye-catching design of Manchester’s latest landmark attraction – Chill Factor – features over 5,000m² of 2 different types of Kalzip aluminium cladding: Kalzip perforated facades and Kalbau profiled sheets.
SABIC Innovative Plastics’ high performance Lexan* Thermoclear* sheet is used for the roofs of four renovated or newly built stadiums for the UEFA Euro 2008 football championship, taking place in Austria and Switzerland from June 7 to 29, 2008.
Researchers for the first time successfully created entangled quantum states in diamond. As these results were obtained under ambient conditions they make diamond an ideal candidate for building a quantum computer working at room temperature.
Researchers have developed fuel cells with high power density of 400 watts per kilogram, which have so far only been achieved in considerably larger systems weighing several hundred grams. The fuel cell is light enough to power a twenty-centimeter helicopter.
Using carbon nanotubes, MIT chemical engineers have built the most sensitive electronic detector yet for sensing deadly gases such as the nerve agent sarin.
With new bridge-building materials, industrial production methods, and an efficient construction process, it will be possible to start using a bridge only two weeks after construction starts on the site. This is shown in...
If something hits you on the head while you are wearing this safety helmet, its soft flexible inner layer will instantly turn into a rock-hard shock-absorbent material.

The world's largest magnet for imaging in brain research arrived at the Jülich Research Center. Once installed, it will have a field strength of 9.4 Tesla (T), which is almost 200,000 times the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. Brain researchers at Jülich plan to use the new system, nicknamed "9point4," to visualize previously inaccessible structures and metabolic processes of the brain.
With the Atlantic hurricane season starting June 1, builders are increasingly relying on silicone glazed impact-resistant glass and silicone waterproofing sealants to protect property from sustained winds and pounding rains.
