Boeing Delivers Next-Generation O3b mPOWER Satellites to SES
(Boeing: El Segundo, CA) -- Boeing has successfully delivered its ninth and tenth O3b mPOWER satellites to content and network provider SES, advancing the company’s effort to provide global connectivity from space.
Accelerating Hardware Development to Improve National Security and Innovation
Nominal is an advanced software platform made for engineers building complex systems ranging from fighter jets to nuclear reactors, satellites, rockets, and robots.
Modern fighter jets contain hundreds or even thousands of sensors. Some of those sensors collect data every second, others every nanosecond.
Why Health Systems Keep Paying for Equipment They Already Own
Health systems across the country are unknowingly paying multiple times for the same medical equipment—once to own it, and again to rent it. The issue isn’t always an increase in clinical demand; it’s often availability and visibility to medical device inventory.
Sexism in Science
Seven women were part of a trailblazing network of feminist scientists in the Boston area during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
Smart City Mobility
Gridlocked streets, honking horns, and polluted air—modern city life often feels like a daily battle against time and space. With half the world’s population projected to live in cities by 2050, the pressure on transport systems is reaching a breaking point.
Designing AI That Keeps Human Decision-Makers in Mind
As artificial intelligence takes off, how do we efficiently integrate it into our lives and our work?
Supplier Scorecards vs. Spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are usually the first tool used to manage suppliers, and the first to become a liability. Important updates get buried. Repeat supplier problems start popping up.
‘Cold Spray’ 3D Printing Technique Proves Effective for Bridge Repair
Members of the UMass Amherst and MIT research team pose next to the 3D-printed patch. Haden Quinlan (front, kneeling) of the Center for Advanced Production Technologies at MIT, is one of the researchers leading MIT’s efforts on the project.
More than half of the nation’s 623,218 bridges are showing significant deterioration.
Simulations Reveal Secrets to Strengthening Carbon Fiber
ORNL researchers have found a way to double the tensile strength of carbon-fiber composites by reinforcing the material with a thin layer of PAN nanofibers. A human hair is approximately 100 times wider than one of these fibers.
Stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum, carbon fiber is a staple in aerospace and high-performance vehicles. Now, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to make it even stronger.
