AIChE will undertake a routine upgrade of our digital infrastructure between 12AM to 6AM ET on Tuesday April 22. During this time access to all services that require login or payment will be unavailable.
‘Make the Right Decision’. Following processes like Mgmt of Change, PSSR, Hot Work, Work Authorization, LOTO, and Confined Space Entry are vital for plant success.
A new mix of materials could make manufacturing efficient silicon solar cells a simpler, cheaper process. Researchers at the Univ. of California, Berkeley, have created a high-efficiency solar cell without doping, the standard but expensive method...
A thin, transparent polymer equipped with pressure sensors that wraps around curved surfaces like shrink wrap could transform health monitoring and diagnosis. Takao Someya, a professor of electrical engineering and information systems at the Univ...
A new smart material developed by chemical engineers at the Univ. of Rochester embodies two unique qualities that make it stand out from others: The temperature at which the material changes shape can be precisely tuned, and the material can deliver a large amount of mechanical work as it transforms back to its original shape.
From hair loss to nausea and vomiting, the side effects of chemotherapy add difficulty to an already difficult experience. A new drug-delivery system developed by scientists at the Univ. of Toronto could do away with chemo’s collateral damage. When...
A new type of hybrid polymer may offer new opportunities for drug delivery, self-repair, and responsiveness. The polymer combines covalent components and noncovalently bonded supramolecular components. The covalent pieces form a backbone with spoke-...
The gene-editing technology known as CRISPR/Cas9 has now been used to correct two different genetic liver diseases in mice — tyrosinemia Type I and ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. An earlier article reported the use of the CRISPR/Cas9...
