Graphene, a 2D material made from a layer of carbon one atom thick, is the strongest material known to date, but not very practical in its 2D form. Scientists at …

A single source for everything from assessment through assembly and training "As more industries bring additional analytical equipment online, it becomes more imperative to have quality sample systems that can …

Although of varying designs, all nuclear engines built to date have had at least one thing in common: their only output is heat. They all apply that heat to a …

A machine can perform only as well as the weld parameters set by the operator "While a computerized orbital welder creates better, more consistent welds than a pair of human …

Scientists from South Australia’s Flinders University have developed a super sponge composed of two waste products that can absorb boatloads of oil, be wrung out and reused, and is cheap …

You'll need the right type of closed loop sampling system to get the most useful results "Grab sampling, also known as, lab sampling or spot sampling, is the collecting of …

Sequestering carbon—capturing carbon and storing it long-term—is a critical part of the strategy for mitigating or slowing global warming. Minerals that do it naturally tend to be very slow about …

Look for a program that has instructors who have spent time in the field "Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, …

The chemistry of sulfur, manganese and carbon chemistry all come into play In general, orbital welding gives better results than manual welding when joining two pieces of tubing without using …
