Many of the world’s top scientists are putting their heads together on climate change, but a new locally-based nonprofit believes it has the most efficient solution to cooling the Earth down. Founded ...

Moritex has announced the new NPI Series Quartz Rod Line illumination system. Using proprietary technology the NPI system generates an extremely uniform line of light making camera inspection of ...

Hessam AzariJafari receives funding from MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub. Randolph E. Kirchain receives funding from the MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub. When heat waves hit, people start looking for ...

A roof influences how a building handles heat every day. Reducing heat absorption at the roof surface changes how the ...

Climate change will make heatwaves more common, and continental areas and urban regions that become significantly warmer in summer will be particularly affected. Together with colleagues from ...

General Motors has been granted a patent for a system that inspects reflective surfaces using two imaging assemblies. The first captures depth information, while the second gathers contrast data. A ...

Some materials earn their place in a space because they’re tough. Others, because they look stunning. And then there are those rare few that manage to tick both boxes—materials that not only catch the ...

Forward-looking: Japanese researchers have developed a novel technique to levitate and manipulate small objects from reflective surfaces using only sound waves. In testing with a 3-millimeter ...

Glare from reflective surfaces, in particular solar energy installations, is becoming an issue, particularly when located at or near airports. An FAA study, “Evaluation of Glare as a Hazard for ...

Researchers show that switching between reflective and scattering states can be achieved with just 1.4 V, about the same voltage used to light a typical LED. Researchers have developed a way to ...
