How can engineers broaden their view to also see safety issues in addition to technical features?

The ABC of Safety Training

US Chemical Industry
According to the American Chemistry Council (ACC), the first and second quarter 2012 growth was weak

Energy from the Deep Sea
Clean energy is a big topic these days. Extraction of CH4 out of underwater sediments could be one solution to the problem

Keeping Track of Oxygen
New system for the estimation of O2 consumption in the ground water with on-site measurements in small intervals

MOFs in the Making
A general method for the fabrication of MOF membranes allows the fabrication of a membrane with a high gas separation factor

Graphene Nanocomposites Inspired by Nature
Imitating bone’s hybrid structure, graphene-amyloid nanocomposites with unique properties have been developed

New Catalyst for Fuel Cells
Synthesis and characterization of Pt entangled carbon nanotube composite electrodes for a high-power, low Pt loading, single-cell PEMFE device
