Webinar: Reducing thermal interface material scrap—how Fujipoly is rethinking waste
Thermal interface materials are playing an increasingly important role in extending product lifetimes and improving energy efficiency—key contributions to a more sustainable society. However, many of these materials rely on thermoset polymers such as silicone, which cannot be reused and often end up as industrial waste. As a leading manufacturerContinue Reading
Saarland researchers use 3D-printed metallic glass motor parts to cut iron losses
Researchers at Saarland University say they have developed iron-rich amorphous alloys for electric motor components that can reduce remagnetization losses by eliminating the crystalline microstructure that causes internal friction and heat buildup in conventional soft-magnetic materials. The project focuses on replacing coarse-grained crystalline iron alloys used in stators and rotorsContinue Reading
Studies show penguins attracted to harmful white plastics | DW News
Researchers investigating the impact of plastic on seabirds say their study shows penguins are more attracted to the color white. They say this colour preference them in greater risk of ingesting plastics because there is a greater abundance of white plastics in the oceans which can cause them serious harm.Continue Reading

Callamard responded to the assassination of Iraqi feministContinue Reading
Webb Spots Details in Nearby Spiral Galaxy
Two powerful instruments of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope joined forces to create this scenic galaxy view. This spiral galaxy is named NGC 5134, and it’s located 65 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, A. Leroy Stars peek through the dusty, winding arms ofContinue Reading
NASA Marshall Lunar, Meteor Observatory Marks 20 Years of Discovery
For two decades, NASA’s Automated Lunar and Meteor Observatory has helped scientists track meteors, observe impacts on the Moon, and better understand the space environment future explorers will face. The Automated Lunar and Meteor Observatory, or the ALaMO, at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center features two observatory domes, a 15-meterContinue Reading
Help Galaxy Zoo: Tidal Tales Open Cosmic Storybook
1 min read Help Galaxy Zoo: Tidal Tales Open Cosmic Storybook Galaxies carry the imprints of past encounters. When they pass near one another or collide, gravity pulls their stars into long tails, thin streams, and faint shells – features that preserve the history of these dramatic events. Thanks toContinue Reading
Space Launch System (SLS)
Space Launch System (SLS) NASA is developing the most powerful rocket in the agency’s history to return astronauts to the Moon and establish a sustainable lunar presence. The Space Launch System (SLS) will be the first exploration-class rocket since the Saturn V, the rocket used in the Apollo missions, andContinue Reading
Efficient Large Displacement/Large Rotation Dynamic Simulations Using Nonlinear Dynamic Substructures
Download PDF: Efficient Large Displacement/Large Rotation Dynamic Simulations Using Nonlinear Dynamic Substructures Utilizing reduced-order dynamic math models (DMM) in linear system-level dynamic analyses is a well-known practice that enables extreme computational efficiencies. But what about nonlinear system dynamics? Reduced-order DMMs have found their way into contact dynamics. The engineer mustContinue Reading
NIH Files Reveal Broader Coronavirus Engineering Research Before COVID-19
Years before the first known COVID-19 cases in Wuhan, China, a loose network of scientists — backed by U.S. government grants and linked through recurring collaborations — was already running experiments to answer a deceptively simple question: What would it take for newly discovered bat coronaviruses to infect humans? TheContinue Reading
The War in Iran Could Plunge the World Into Hunger
Up until the end of February, a steady flow of ships bound for destinations across the world would pass daily through the Strait of Hormuz. A narrow channel running between Oman and Iran, the waterway serves as the only natural maritime link between the Persian Gulf and the global economy.Continue Reading
Reigniting the Patriarchy
For the Christian nationalist Heritage Foundation, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is an opportunity to move the country further to the right. “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years,” a report released in late January, makes clear thatContinue Reading
