Food safety is always a pressing concern for consumers, manufacturers, and retailers alike. In recent years, there has been an increased focus on the role of UV light in food safety. UV light has proven to kill bacteria and other contaminants on food surfaces. […]
Forensic investigators and researchers utilize a variety of light sources to examine the evidence found at a crime scene. Among a plethora of light sources, Ultraviolet (UV) light, in particular, has gained a positive reputation for efficient and effective examination of biologically contaminated evidence. As a matter of fact, the [...]
Technological advancements have left their imprints on almost every industry across the globe — from healthcare to so-called legacy industries (retail, construction, and hospitality). The biotechnology industry is no exception. One of the recent technological breakthroughs in the world of biotechnology has been the integration of CMOS and CCD technology. [...]
Filters are devices that allow specific stuff to pass through them and reject or block the rest. In the context of optical communication, optical filters are used for pretty much the same thing. Optical filters promote the transmission of different wavelengths while absorbing those that are not required — they [...]
The sawmill industry is one of the countries key industries. Lumber is a primary raw material in a wide range of manufacturing & construction. […]
NATO, Russia, and China have been engaged in a new arms race for quite a while. The top prizes now include hypersonics, railguns, and lasers. After years of study and development, not to mention billions of dollars spent, the three technologies are now finally starting to take shape. [...]
A briefcase-sized device housing a powerful laser sounds like a sci-fi gadget, but it is precisely what NASA intends to deploy to search for water and ice on the surface of the Moon. The proposed CubeSat, dubbed “Lunar Flashlight”, will play a key role in locating potential water sources that [...]
Robotic systems have made their way into retail, from 6-feet machines catching spills at Giant Foods Stores to automated shelf-scanners monitoring inventory in Walmart. In many Lowe’s stores, a “LoweBot” can answer simple questions, such as where to find certain things, and assist with stock management. These robots relieve staff [...]
No industry is immune to technological advances in the 21st century. Every day, it seems that new and improved products are launched to reduce (or eliminate) the possibility of human errors and make the processes within the industry more efficient and reliable. The drain-cleaning industry is no stranger to this [...]
Poor air quality is a tell-tale sign of the widespread air pollution that has blanketed our country for several years. With rising concerns about air pollution, federal authorities are now turning to science and technology to develop advanced air quality monitoring systems. […]
