Engineering Featured Fighting Environmental Injustice A few years back a mother of two in Flint Michigan, upon finding that one of her children was not growing well, called an environmental engineer to test her home’s water supply. The tests revealed elevated levels of lead. This happened right after Flint’s water source was switched from the Detroit river and Lake Huron […] Written by ideaXme 2020-04-262020-08-25 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Engineering Physical Sciences Technology Quantum Computers: Concept, Technology and Applications The invention of computer made calculations very fast. It paved the way for a rapid progress in science and technology. The early versions of computer were bulky. However, the invention of integrated chip in 1959 made desktops and laptops possible. For daily life needs, today’s computer technology is good enough. But with the time, data […] Written by Muhammad Ismail Khan 2020-04-162020-04-18 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked

Engineering News Manufacturing Degradable Polymers Chemists at MIT have successfully formulated a technique to synthesize polymers that disintegrate more readily in the body and environment. Polymers created by a standard chemical reaction called ring-opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP), although extremely useful, do not break down easily in natural environments. The research team at MIT has come up with a way to […] Written by Farheen Fawad 2019-11-192021-09-19 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Engineering Life Science Technology Elon Musk’s Neuralink and the Future of Human-Machine Interfaces Since the inception of modern science, people have wondered what it might be like to expand the boundaries of the brainpower to achieve super-intelligence or be able to manipulate and read someone else’s thoughts. Theorists and sci-fi enthusiasts, for years, have been talking about a singularity point where human and machine can merge, ultimately giving […] Written by Syed Muhammad Alam 2019-10-302019-10-30 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Engineering News Physical Sciences Technology Particle Image Velocimetry Ever wondered how engineers design aircraft, boats, submarines, rockets, jet engines, wind turbines or artificial hearts? These devices, though differing greatly in function, involve a fluid — air in aircraft, water in boats and blood in hearts. Thus, in order to properly design these devices, there is a need to analyze the motion of fluid […] Written by Muhammad Ali Qureshi 2019-09-242019-09-29 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
