Physics software simulates parameters for extracting water from the Moon. Preliminary data from NASA’s Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) indicates that the mission successfully uncovered water during the Oct. 9, 2009, impacts into the Moon’s south pole.

Wireless sensor test bed to guide industrial systems

Wireless sensor test bed to guide industrial systems

For consumers, wireless technology is great. But if you’re running a nuclear power plant or a pharma production line, the risk of failure is too great. Idaho Lab’s new wireless sensor network will track down the weaknesses of these systems by simulating industrial settings in a physical lab environment. They hope to supply standards the industry now lacks.

Manufacturing challenge: Can you stack a better pallet?

Manufacturing challenge: Can you stack a better pallet?

NIST is looking for university teams to automate and improve on one of the common warehouse tasks: pallet-stacking. Using a cheap computer gaming engine, participants will have to develop computer code to deal with a complexity of modern warehousing called mixed palletizing, which is efficient for transporting good, but is tough to automate.

Much ado about next to nothing

Much ado about next to nothing

The recent review of the past 10 years of the National Nanotechnology Initiative--as presented by the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology--suggested the rise of nanomanufacturing as the near future of nanotechnology. But the actual proposed funding reflects a cautious approach, even about nanotech in general.

Lunar tires, space MRSA, and resonating microfluidics

Lunar tires, space MRSA, and resonating microfluidics

I typically attend the annual Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy each year in pursuit of specific coverage. This year, I sought out candidates for coverage in a vacuum technology article, and pulled together some instruments for a spectroscopy guide. But as busy as that kept me, it wasn’t all mass spectrometers and vacuum pumps on the show floor.

P2i showcases liquid repellent nano-coating for hearing aids
P2i showcases liquid repellent nano-coating for hearing aids

At the AudiologyNOW! 2010 show in San Diego next month, UK-based coatings company P2i will display their relatively new Aridion liquid-repellant nano-coating. Designed for exposure to humidity or sweat, the polymer layer is applied by a pulsed ion gas process that lower’s the hearing aid’s surface energy, coaxing water away from delicate components.

Submersible FlowCAM catches particle images and data in-situ and real-time
