Laser Imaging Video Camera: Sees Through Smoke

Laser Imaging Video Camera: Sees Through Smoke and Saves Lives  Laser imaging saves lives. Researchers developed laser-imaging video camera technology over a decade ago, not for security purposes but to enable firefighters and other first responders to see through smoke and flames. This technology has since evolved to be utilized by the Navy and has ultimately found applications in several other fields. The device has generated excitement about its applications, particularly its ability to increase aircraft visibility under adverse conditions. This is due to its ability to penetrate nearly all visual obscurants, including a blaze.  How Laser Imaging Saves Lives

Engineers Design Fluid Inspired Material Coating for Metals

Self-Healing Metal Coating Engineers have developed a new coating strategy for metal that self-heals within seconds when scratched, scraped, or cracked. The novel material could prevent these tiny defects from turning into localized corrosion, which can cause significant structures to fail. It’s hard to believe that a tiny crack could take down a gigantic metal structure, but sometimes bridges collapse, pipelines rupture, and fuselages detach from airplanes due to hard-to-detect corrosion in tiny cracks, scratches, and dents. Localized corrosion is extremely dangerous. It is hard to prevent, hard to predict, and hard to detect, but it can lead to catastrophic

Solar Utility Build-Transfer Agreements

The solar industry shifts from the traditional power purchase agreement (PPA) model toward Utility Build-Transfer Agreements (BTAs). For the engineering community, this shift necessitates a deeper focus on long-term asset reliability and rigorous technical due diligence.
