Aerogel, 99.8 percent air — a solid so light it challenges design engineers to find an application

Posted in

Aerogel was such a breakthrough — literally, almost as light as air, yet a solid — that it challenges designers to engineer a problem for its solution. Years after its […]

A supersonic jet with no front window? NASA’s X-59 uses a 4K monitor instead.

Posted in

The much anticipated X-59 QueSST Supersonic jet, co-developed by Lockheed Martin and NASA — which promises “quiet” supersonic — may make pilots think they are flying a simulator. Due to […]

Terraton Initiative: “Carbon Negative”: an innovative solution could remove 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide from atmosphere

Posted in

With carbon dioxide levels at the highest level in history — 415 parts per million — it’s too late to think small in terms of Environmental engineering. Conservation alone may […]
