University of Missouri researchers and collaborators have developed an innovative, eco-friendly chemical tool that harnesses the power of engineered “soapy” water and electricity to create reactions in a whole new way. This breakthrough electrochemistry method could reduce the cost of making medicines and support clean energy technology, including efforts to remove pre- and polyfluoroalkyls (PFAS), also known as “forever-chemicals,” from water.  

A new study in the journal Engineering reveals how people’s choices of electric vehicles (EVs) and where they live are intertwined. Using an agent-based model in a two-dimensional monocentric city, researchers found that EV adoption impacts commuting distances and urban structure. The study also explores factors affecting EV purchases, offering insights for urban planning and policymakers.

A recent review in Engineering explores multi-photon 3D nanoprinting. This technology, with its unique 3D processing and nanoscale resolution, has wide applications in fields like optics and biology. However, it faces challenges such as slow processing speed and material limitations. The article also looks at potential solutions and future development directions, offering insights into the future of this technology in manufacturing.

SAN ANTONIO — March 3, 2025 —Researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the University of Michigan (U-M) have published a new study showing an advanced new methane flare burner, created with additive manufacturing and machine learning, eliminates 98% of methane vented during oil production. The burner was designed by U-M engineering researchers and tested at SwRI.

A new study published in Engineering offers insights into nonlinear meta-devices. Conducted by researchers from the City University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the work reviews the theoretical bases, efficiency enhancement methods, radiation shaping strategies, and phase modulation techniques related to these devices. It also discusses potential future research directions, which could drive further development in the field of nanophotonics.
