Purdue findings help Coast Guard modify search-and-rescue plane
Purdue University engineers are helping the U.S. Coast Guard deal with a possible 10-fold increase in vibration that could result from installing a larger observation window in a search-and-rescue aircraft to improve visibility during missions. view more (2005-10-19)
Fake diamonds help jet engines take the heat
Engineers are developing a technology to coat jet engine turbine blades with zirconium dioxide -- commonly called zirconia, the stuff of synthetic diamonds -- to combat high-temperature corrosion. The zirconia chemically converts sand and other corrosive particles that build up on the blade into a new, protective outer coating. In effect, the... view more... (2008-03-18)
Rolls-Royce extends international research credentials with German cooperation agreement
Rolls-Royce today signed a co-operation agreement with the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) in Cottbus, Germany, to establish a joint Engine Technology Competence Centre. This marks a further chapter in the company's history of forging strong links with the academic world on high-technology research in dedicated centres of excellence.... view more... (2003-04-04)
An online technical information system for the steel construction industry
STEELBIZ is an on-line information system designed to improve the performance of the European steel construction industry. It provides engineers with technical information, design guides, building regulations, case studies and, for broadband users, voiceover Continuing Professional Development (CPD) lectures. The STEELBIZ project is led by the... view more... (2003-10-29)
Researchers find clear difference in quality, type of lung cancer info available in US and Japan
A study published in the July 2009 issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology revealed that internet-based lung cancer information was of a higher quality in the United States (US) than in Japan. view more (2009-07-01)
Pressure relief for jet engines - Photon02
The aerodynamics inside jet engines are not completely understood due to the unpredictable nature of the air flowing through the turbine. However, a research team led by Dr Jim Barton from Heriot-Watt University, has developed tiny fibre optic pressure sensors that can for the first time be used inside jet engine test rigs. These sensors should... view more... (2002-08-28)
Slowing down faster could win aero-engineers £50,000
A team of engineers from Bombardier Aerospace in Belfast has been shortlisted for the UK's biggest engineering prize for their success in developing a new aircraft thrust reverser. Mike Hatrick, Keith Campbell, Edwin Beattie, Finbarr McEvoy and Joel Bennett have taken an idea patented by their peers in the 1970's and used it to create a thrust... view more... (2001-07-03)
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)
Space technology helps win race at Estoril
Pescarolo Sport won Sunday's race at Estoril in Portugal, the first in the 7-event FIA Sportscar Championship, helped by technology originally designed for ESA's space programme. The partnership between Pescarolo Sport and ESA's Technology Transfer Programme (TTP) began in December last year. Its aim: to apply space technology in the field of... view more... (2003-04-16)
Most popular websites not necessarily of highest quality
The more popular websites providing information about breast cancer are not necessarily of higher quality, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-03-06)
Research to make flying more environmentally friendly
Europe's airplane engine manufacturers are now pooling their resources to make flying more environmentally friendly. In collaboration with some select universities and university colleges they are using millions in financial support from the EU to set up a major research project aiming to reduce noise, fuel use, and emissions. University of... view more... (2005-02-15)
Study reveals we seek new targets during visual search, not during other visual behaviors
When we look at a scene in front of us, we need to focus on the important items and be able to ignore distracting elements. Studies have suggested that inhibition of return (in which our attention is less likely to return to objects we've already viewed) helps make visual search more efficient - when searching a scene to find an object, we have a... view more...

Warmer seas linked to strengthening hurricanes: FSU study fuels global warming debate
The theory that global warming may be contributing to stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic over the past 30 years is bolstered by a new study led by a Florida State University researcher. The study will be published in the Sept. 4 edition of the journal Nature. view more (2008-09-04)
A bizarre hovering spy plane takes to the skies
WHAT looks like a flying saucer, takes off like a helicopter and flies like a plane? The next remote-controlled surveillance aircraft on the hunt for terrorist fugitives like Osama bin Laden, apparently. Pilotless aircraft came into their own in the Afghan conflict, greatly reducing casualties in US Air Force and ground troops on both... view more... (2002-01-30)
Russian Filter For Russian Exhausts
Automobiles manufactured in Russia are now often equipped with expensive American or European catalytic exhaust scrubbers - converters. However, according the opinion of researchers from the Mendeleyev Russian Chemical-Engineering University, Russian automobiles will be soon equipped with exhaust scrubbers manufactured in Russia. Traditional... view more... (2004-06-15)
Robust sensor yields cleaner car exhaust
Emissions from cars have to be reduced further in order to meet today's environmental demands. A new and robust exhaust sensor developed by researchers at Linköping University in Sweden has proven to meter the consistency of exhaust gases extremely well and is now on its way to the market. view more (2005-04-27)
First diesel military motorcycle to hit the road
A unique technology partnership between Cranfield University and California-based Hayes Diversified Technologies (HDT) has created the world's first production diesel military motorbike - and the first bike of any kind with a purpose-designed diesel power unit. view more (2004-11-03)
Aeroplanes would be safer if cockpits were more human-friendly, says new study.
Aircraft could achieve an even higher level of safety if cockpit designers took more of the psychological characteristics of pilots into account, according to researchers. Although the air accident rate has been constantly decreasing over the last decades, many modern aircraft have computerised controls systems which are so complex that they even... view more...
