Their gigantic nacelles - with a generator, rotor and rotor blades spanning more than 100 meters - stand atop a steel tower. This tower, in turn, rests in the sea o...

IISc teams develop oxygen concentrators, ventilators Updated: Updated: The groups also developed oxygen supply manifolds Share Article AAA Smart device: The design evolved into more sophisticated device that could sense when the patients were able to breathe on their own.   | Photo Credit: Sushobhan Avasthi The groups also developed oxygen supply manifolds With the setting in of the second wave of covid-19, there is round the corner, a growth in the need for ventilators and related interv...

April 23, 2021 By Tina Hilding, Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture When Philip Whitener first began dreaming of a high-speed, fuel efficient ferry for the Puget Sound region, the first moon landing was a few years away. After his retirement as a Boeing engineer decades later, he designed his dream, the Dragonfly, and then built and tested a plywood prototype in the 1990s and early 2000s. At that time, the current seniors in WSU’s mechanical engineering program at Olympic College ...

The new technique, looking at potential biomedical applications of an ancient inorganic salt-based aggregation induced emission (AIE) radio-luminescence material, could open new frontiers in medicine including X-ray dosimetry, bioimaging and advanced applications such as optogenetics, says Professor Youhong Tang, fro...

An Equilibrium Of Wisdom And Dedication: Yash Uday Shah SHARE Yash Uday Shah, a final year dual degree student of the Department of Chemical Engineering, is a gem at the tussle that NIT Rourkela is. Being a curious persona from inception, he has aced every field he laid hands on – be it academics or club activities. With unmatched leadership skills and qualities, he has surpassed all the odds that he has faced with a smile and positivity. A IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Roorkee and bagging the pr...

  The graphic shows the path of the pipeline from the mountain to the community. For the past five years, the Tulane chapter of Engineers Without Borders has been working on a water-access project for Laquigo, an Ecuadorian village where residents typically get much of their water from ditches. The group had planned to spend part of the summer of 2020 in Laquigo, working on the final plans of a 21-kilometer pipeline that would increase the water supply to Laquigo while making sure its access t...

Engineering students trained in e-waste management MAR 17, 2021 Students of the Faculty of Engineering of the Sunyani Technical University have participated in a day’s training programme on electronic waste (e-waste) management to help them apply their technical and creative thinking skills to the challenge of e-waste management in Ghana. Besides, it was to expose the students to the concepts of circular economy focusing on e-waste, introduce them to basic techniques in handling e-waste incl...
