First atom probe tomography facility in SE Asia opens at NUS

In collaboration with Woh Hup and supported by BCA and NAMIC, NUS researchers are pushing the frontiers of 3D concrete printing, by incorporating the technology into on-site construction, reducing labour and materials while meeting structural demands

Glass bottles tossed in the trash are finding new life thanks to a collaboration between the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Vitriform3D, an advanced manufacturing company. Together, they found a way to turn old glass into new products using 3D printing.

About ENGINEERING Energy

  ENGINEERING Energy, formerly known as Frontiers in Energy, is a peer-reviewed English academic journal dedicated to energy research. Jointly sponsored by Higher Education Press, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and co-published by Higher Education Press and Springer Nature, the journal was launched in 2007 and is the energy-focused sub-journal within the journal cluster of the flagship journal Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. It focuses on frontier, innovative, and interdisciplinary research in energy science and technology, aiming to build a high-level international academic exchange platform for global researchers, engineers, and policymakers to share high-quality original findings.

  The Editors-in-Chief are Academician Zhen Huang, Academician Shouwei Zhou, Academician Yinao Su, and Academician Suping Peng of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. The Deputy Editors-in-Chief are Academician Jiujun Zhang (Foreign Member of CAE; Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Engineering), Professor Radenka Maric (President, University of Connecticut, USA), and Professor Nicolas Alonso-Vante and Professor Yonglin Ju of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

The current network of marine protected areas is insufficient to guarantee the protection of seabirds in Spanish waters. The Northern Gannet, Cory’s Shearwater and Bulwer’s petrel are the seabirds most at risk of encountering the areas identified for the installation of offshore wind farms. Cory’s shearwaters, both the Balearic and the Mediterranean subspecies, face the highest risk of bycatch. Gulls, terns, and the European storm petrel are the species most exposed to incidents involving aquaculture installations, especially off the coasts of Pontevedra, the Ebro Delta, Murcia and Alicante.

David Page, head of the Geographic Data Science Section at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, leads with a focus on judgment, collaboration and empowering teams. Drawing on experience in academia, entrepreneurship and national security science, he has helped advance faster, scalable geospatial analysis while building resilient, forward-looking research teams.

Dr. Irina Timofte, a transplant pulmonologist at UT Southwestern Medical Center, envisioned a new way to protect donor lungs in transport, and she sponsored a University of Texas at Dallas UTDesign Capstone team of engineering students to design and build the device for thoracic organ transportation.

Understanding how we sleep, both in Space and on Earth, is a crucial challenge for human health and performance. This need gave rise to SOMNIIA MONITOR, a project funded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and coordinated by the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT-Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia), which led to the development of an intelligent mask capable of analyzing sleep accurately, simply, and non-invasively.

Supported by the Domestic Preparedness Support Initiative (DPSI), U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers are continuing to advance the Contaminant Transport Analyst (CT-Analyst) by adding plugin support for the Android Tactical Awareness Kit (ATAK), enabling shared situational awareness across first responder communities using a mobile device.
