According to the World Health Organization, groundwater and surface water are commonly contaminated with heavy metals and other emerging contaminants. For instance, arsenic is present in very high concentrations (more than 10 micrograms per liter) in groundwater in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Vietnam, India, and China, affecting the drink...

In 1921, geophysical acquisition technology which involves the generation and acquisition of seismic data to image sub-surface geology revolutionized earth science and resource exploration. Seismic technologies have come a long way since then; they now have the ability to illuminate and image complex subsurface targets at lower acquisition costs. O...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced non-invasive imaging technology that creates clear images of organs and structures inside the body. However, the claustrophobic narrow bore size design that causes patient anxiety during the scan and the stationary nature of the large machine hinder the optimal use of this technology, and low-quality ...

The consumers, particularly power guzzlers, are expecting the delivery of quality power with improved system efficiency. The recent blackouts have driven concerns regarding the reliability of the existing grid and power hierarchy. A number of technologies have evolved, thanks to huge investments in the fields of energy efficiency, control systems, ...

Wearable Technology involves body worn electronics that can perform various functionalities such as sensing, communicating, and computing. Wearables’ is the result of convergence of various technologies in sensors, microelectronics, and ICT. Wearable technology impacts the lives of millions of people who are adopting this technology primarily to im...

An integrated digital microscope, in contrast to the traditional optical microscope, displays the image output directly on a monitor instead of an eyepiece. Thus, the sample can be viewed instantly and easily on a desktop, with the user in a comfortable position. The data can also be analyzed and shared with others with ease. This enables rapid ima...

The human microbiome is made of several microorganisms that reside within and outside the body. These comprise complex and diverse bacteria, archaea, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. They form signature colonies unique to an individual or body part and help maintain general health and wellness. Any disruptions to the naturally occurring healthy microb...

Industrial electrification is rapidly shifting from a niche decarbonization effort to a central driver of competitiveness, resilience, and long‑term industrial growth. Process heat dominates manufacturing energy demand and relies heavily on fossil fuels, leaving industry exposed to emissions regulations, fuel price volatilities, and geopolitical ri...
