MIT's pint-sized car engine promises high efficiency, low cost
MIT researchers are developing a half-sized gasoline engine that performs like its full-sized cousin but offers fuel efficiency approaching that of today's hybrid engine system-at a far lower cost. view more (2006-10-30)
Hybrid renewable energy system
FATRONIK technological centre from the Basque Country has designed and installed a micro-wind generator at the Aubixa Euskal Girotze boarding centre (San Pedro neighbourhood, Elgoibar). Since the end of October the 2.5 kW micro-wind generator has been producing energy which is initially planned to power the boarding centre's four refrigerators,... view more... (2003-11-18)
Severe retinal hemorrhaging is linked to severe motor vehicle crashes
The severity of retinal hemorrhaging for young children in motor vehicle crashes is closely correlated to the severity of the crash, according to a new study by researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. view more (2008-06-24)
The Viability of Hydrogen Transportation Markets: Chicken or Egg?
Hydrogen may well be the new gasoline. But where's the nearest "gas" station where you can pull up and refuel your energy-efficient vehicle? Will hydrogen stations be strategically convenient-located on street corners and travel-stop locations around the globe? view more (2008-09-12)
"Springer" - A Solution To Water Pollution?
A faster, more efficient way of tracking water pollution and carrying out environmental surveys is being developed. Work has begun to build "Springer", an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that will be able to operate in shallow water. Funded primarily by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), this... view more... (2004-04-05)
Computer solution to delivery problem
With the gift-giving season almost upon us and increasing concerns about the environmental effects of all those deliveries and pickups, it is timely that researchers should turn their attention to the so-called Traveling Salesman Problem. view more (2007-10-19)
Clean-vehicle research initiative making progress
A public-private effort to develop technologies for more fuel-efficient automobiles and to investigate the feasibility of hydrogen-based vehicles has made significant progress in most research areas, says a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2008-03-20)
Vehicle emissions monitoring validates inspection program and offers policy insights
A long-term Georgia Institute of Technology study continues to validate the effectiveness of Georgia's vehicle emissions inspection program in 13 metro Atlanta counties that are part of a federal ozone level non-attainment area. view more (2007-06-18)
Researchers stress the need to educate consumers about hazards of tire aging
Human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) researchers at North Carolina State University have found that vehicle owners may not be aware that older but relatively unused tires can fail and cause crashes. view more (2006-10-17)
FSU's Magnet Lab to build world's strongest magnet designed for 'neutron scattering' experiments
The Hahn-Meitner Institute in Berlin has contracted with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and Florida State University to build an $8.7-million hybrid magnet for "neutron scattering" experiments. view more (2007-04-05)
Electronic Handbrake
The adjudication panel of the IV Accenture Prize for the Best Graduate Thesis at the Bilbao School of Technical Engineering has been awarded to Grzegorz Breczewski, a 24-year-old graduate student who has developed a project known as "electronic brake for stationary mode" and which is a novel system of electronic hand braking for the... view more...

Slow-motion earthquake testing probes how buildings collapse in quakes
It takes just seconds for tall buildings to collapse during powerful earthquakes. Knowing precisely what's happening in those seconds can help engineers design buildings that are less prone to sustaining that kind of damage. view more (2009-08-26)
Liftoff for Aurora: Europe's first steps to Mars, the Moon and beyond
ESA PR 64-2002. Step by step, the European Space Agency's new Aurora space exploration programme is beginning to take shape. This ambitious programme, started by ESA in January 2002, sets out a strategy over the next 30 years for Europe's robotic and human exploration of Mars, the Moon, and even beyond to the asteroids. On Monday 7 October, the... view more... (2002-10-11)
Common viruses may cause cancer
In some cases, the fusion of human cells is a normal process that leads, for instance, to the formation of muscle and bone. Viral infections can also cause cell fusion, but cells fused by viruses are widely considered to be harmless because they are generally believed to die without consequences for the host. view more (2005-11-09)
Sleep deprivation affects eye-steering coordination when driving
Driving a vehicle requires coordination of horizontal eye movements and steering. view more (2007-06-11)
ESA highlights space in Europe`s cars
Advanced space technology is being found more down-to-earth uses – even within the cars driven on Europe`s roads. The ESA conference ‘Technology Exchange between Space and Automotive Industry’ is to highlight how spin-offs from space are influencing the evolution of European automobiles, heralding improvements in safety,... view more...

Argonne tests validate BMW Hydrogen 7 emissions well-below SULEV
Independent tests conducted by engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory on a BMW Hydrogen 7 Mono-Fuel demonstration vehicle have found that the car's hydrogen-powered engine surpasses the super-ultra low-emission vehicle (SULEV) level, the most stringent emissions performance standard to date. view more (2008-03-31)
Bermuda 'rectangle' beckons for UK's leading unmanned underwater vehicle
Next week (2-3 September), marine technologists from around the world will gather in Southampton to take part in the largest ever Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Showcase (UUVS 98). view more (1998-08-28)
University of Florida professor designs plasma-propelled flying saucer
Flying saucers may soon be more fact than mere science fiction. view more (2008-06-12)
New findings could help hybrid, electric cars keep their cool
Understanding precisely how fluid boils in tiny "microchannels" has led to formulas and models that will help engineers design systems to cool high-power electronics in electric and hybrid cars, aircraft, computers and other devices. view more (2009-09-23)
