Polyurethane is a widely used polymer that is toxic when incinerated or landfilled. Now researchers are trying to find a way to chemically recycle the material.
Evaluating Steelhead Migration Barriers with Drone-Based SFM
Researchers demonstrate the use of aerial drone photography, hydraulic modeling, and simulated rock blasting, to evaluate velocity barriers that prevent steelhead migrations.
Printable Paper from Plastic Waste
Researchers show that paper-like composites can be derived from previously unrecyclable plastic waste.
Sustainable Outcomes from Groundwater Governance
Researchers at the International Water Management Institute put forward a new conceptual thinking to achieve sustainable, socially acceptable, resilient, and equitable resource use.
How Can Zoning Limit Flood Damage?
How do we effectively evaluate and employ zoning and building codes in flood prone areas to minimize damage?
Electrified Tattoos and Personalized Biosensors
Scientists developed a fully print-in-place electronics technique that is gentle enough to work on surfaces as delicate as human skin.
A New Lightweight Material for Efficient Vehicles
A new, light-weight matrix material with improved mechanical properties to make cars lighter and more efficient.
