NASA recently finished hot-fire testing of an RS-25 rocket engine that contained its largest 3-D printed vibration-dampening device, called a Pogo Accumulator Assembly. The Pogo Accumulator Assembly...

NASA plans to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s on a mission that could possibly shape the future of humanity for all eternity. Likely touted to be the most dramatic mission since Neil Armstrong...

Industrial equipment in operational condition cangenerate significant amounts of vibration. Though these vibrations cannot be eliminated, they need to be controlled, or dampened, as failure to do so...

Mechanical stress is the leading cause of premature stress leaks in plastic piping systems. Pipe clams, which address the leaks, usually only cause fixed points that lead to continual stress. To...

Healthcare clinics and hospitals are full of tools and equipment that emit radiation. The modern-day x-ray is a boon to mankind, but it is also quite dangerous for the workers who work around...

A recent story suggesting that diesel engines will all but disappear from a majority of European vehicles due to the increasing emission standards became news all through the month of September. The...

Medicinal imaging has prompted changes in the determination and treatment of various restorative conditions in kids and grown-ups. Radiation shielding, otherwise called lead protecting and X-ray...

After its experimental preparation in the 1930s, the application in high recurrence radar links amid World War II, offered force to its business creation. This thermoplastic is accessible in a scope...

We lost some of our best minds when mankind began its journey with radiation. However, the sacrifices made by people like Marie Curie haven’t gone waste. Today, the world has a better understanding of...

Radiation shielding and magnetic shields could be the best form of protection for astronauts from radiation as they travel to Mars or explore new planets. Radiation in space usually comes from two...

Radiation can be a serious problem in nuclear power generation facilities, as well as in industrial or medical x-rays systems. Radiations are the result of radioactive isotopes, an isotope with an...

While most people today are aware of the inherent dangers of radiation, radiation is nevertheless the byproduct of many technologies that depend upon today, particularly in the medical field. We are...

A few years ago, researchers at North Carolina State University researchers found that the lightweight composite metal foams they developed blocked X-rays, gamma rays, and neutron radiation and...

RTP Company recently announced a series of thermoplastic compounds that weigh five to ten percent less than typical filled compounds, but which still retain the same mechanical properties and similar...

A twenty-six-year-old engineering student’s company, Renoun, just won a patent for his vibration dampening design system (no one is in anyway suggesting that engineering students, or any kind of...
