Date Time It’s crystal clear: crushed glass could save our sand Crushed wine bottles and other recycled glass could replace sand in vital tunnelling supports, cutting construction costs and improving the sustainability of sand mining. University of Queensland engineers are working on the second phase of an industry-sponsored project using crushed waste glass (CWG) to replace sand in shotcrete used to support tunnels and underground spaces. Dr Mehdi Serati from UQ’s School of Civil Engineeri...

Flexible bifacial kesterite solar cell at 9.3% efficiency Scientists in China developed a new kesterite solar cell they say could be suitable for indoor or satellite applications. The bifacial solar cell reached 9.3% frontside efficiency, and also achieved an 9.0% on the backside.Kesterite is one of the most promising light absorber materials for next generation of thin-film solar cells. However, it has so far found limited applications only at the research level, where efficiencies have langui...

Young school kids from the Dubbo Region will see some of their creativity on the road, when it's used as part of a large mural on the side of waste...

Date Time Digital wind tunnels could help develop more fuel efficient aeroplanes New research has demonstrated how simulations could produce more detailed and accurate data quicker than physical wind tunnel experiments. With access to more detailed data, engineers will be able to optimise the design of jet-engine turbine blades and achieve greater weight savings. This would increase the fuel efficiency of aircraft and reduce emissions that contribute to climate change, and comes as airlines are...

Jun 01 2021 Your lab is handling higher throughput and smaller samples than ever before. The METTLER TOLEDO XPR Automatic Balance’s active machine learning revolutionises weighing so you can meet market demands. Safety is important when handling active substances, but so are accuracy and speed. Automated dispensing of powders and liquids with the XPR Automatic Balance reduces exposure risk while significantly enhancing throughput. The XPR enables dosing from an enclosed head i...

Business. how are you staying afloat with three children being a single mother? >> im really just relying on family support at this point. and im just taking birmingham hoping that at some point things will still be down and i will be able to gain the money back elsewhere. shipping costs have went up a lot. and customers are expecting it good to them overnight. they are expecting them kick. they are expecting the efficiency. and you still want the quality. so, we still just have to keep up prici...

Get back to their full potential. in arguing that the risk of in an extended school day, a debate we have many times, is that you will leave children more exhausted and therefore not actually going to add to the efficiency of learning. now sir kevin collins is a here and well take a different view probably, that was part of his pitch went it also underlines the problems when talking about a country like england or england or wales because scotland and wales now does his own education issues. at ...
