Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine and their collaborators have used DNA to overcome a nearly insurmountable obstacle to engineer materials that would revolutionize electronics.
One possible outcome of such engineered materials could be superconductors, which have zero electrical resistance, allowing electrons to flow unimpeded. That means that they don’t lose energy and don’t create heat, unlike
As the market searches for clean energy alternatives to control indoor environments, cost-effectiveness comes into play. Research by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) points to electric heat pumps as the best option in most locations.
Published in July, the “Analysis of Electric and Gas Decarbonization Options for Homes and Apartments” finds that electric heat pumps will minimize
Leading HVAC manufacturer develops action plan to minimize airborne pathogens in learning facilities
Racine, Wis.– Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a leader in technology in the HVAC industry, is dedicated to increasing awareness about the importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) in K-12 schools. As part of that commitment, the company has developed a resource to help school facility
Council contractors have to report back on the quantity of work they have carried out, the materials they used (types and quantities), how it got to site, what fuel was used to get it to site, the equipment and fuel used needed on site, and treatment of any waste created.
Details are gathered to help build a
Accurate, continuous monitoring of nitrogen dioxide and other gases in humid environments is now possible, thanks to a new water-resistant gas sensor developed by Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, the James L. Henderson Jr. Memorial Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, and his team.
The sensor detects nitrogen dioxide in breath, the concentration of which may indicate potential pulmonary diseases, or
In July 2022, the U.S. Postal Service announced a revision to its Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for its Next Generation Delivery Vehicles (NGDVs) in which 50% of its newly purchased NGDVs will be electric vehicles. The Postal Service says that this change will reflect route optimization, network refinements and financial improvements to its delivery vehicle requirement strategy.
In total, USPS
