PennEngineering completes acquisition of Heyco Products
PennEngineering announced that it has successfully completed the previously announced acquisition of Heyco Products. Terms were undisclosed and no changes are anticipated regarding Heyco’s operations, facilities, and employees.Heyco Products will continue to operate as a separate company under the PennEngineering corporate umbrella as the foundation of the new “Engineered Plastics” platform.
Large screw compressor range offers energy savings
Three models have been added to Atlas Copco’s range of oil-injected rotary screw compressors.These give larger industrial air users a 20% average improvement in free air delivery and energy savings of up to 35%.
Returning a sample of an asteroid to Earth
NASA is preparing to launch its first mission to return a sample of an asteroid to Earth. The mission will help scientists investigate how planets formed and how life began, as well as improve our understanding of asteroids that could impact Earth. The Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft will travel to the near-Earth asteroid Bennu and bring a sample back to Earth for inten...
Computers excel at predicting lung cancer
Computers can be trained to be more accurate than pathologists in assessing slides of lung cancer tissues, according to a study by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine.The researchers found that a machine-learning approach to identifying critical disease-related features accurately differentiated between two types of lung cancers and predicted patient survival times better than the standard approach of pathologists classifyin...
Radiation detectors work in record-high energy fields
Employees of MEPh are the first to develop detectors of transition radiation, able to split hadrons (protons, K-mesons and pi-mesons) in record-high energy fields from 1 to 6 TeV. Transition radiation (TR) is a form of electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle passes through inhomogeneous media, which for the first time was demonstrated theoretically by Ginzburg and Frank in 1946. It was detected experimentally at the Yerevan Phys...
Observing ripples in the fabric of spacetime
On December 26, 2015 at 03:38:53 UTC, scientists observed gravitational waves - ripples in the fabric of spacetime - for the second time. The gravitational waves were detected by both of the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors, located in Livingston, Louisiana, and Hanford, Washington, USA.
Bolt Tightening Solutions
Engineers at Siemens Subsea can now access their new large size ‘testing’ autoclave quickly and safely with the use of a bespoke Multi-Stud Bolt Tensioning Tool (MST), thanks to the engineering expertise at the Atlas Copco Bolt Tightening Solutions.
Technique captures global activity of the brain in a snapshot
When it comes to measuring brain activity, scientists have tools that can take a precise look at a small slice of the brain (less than one cubic millimeter), or a blurred look at a larger area. Now, researchers at Rockefeller University have described a new technique that combines the best of both worlds: it captures a detailed snapshot of global activity in the mouse brain.
