While recycling programs have made significant progress in reducing the landfilling of plastic waste, large quantities of plastic are still being placed into landfills and a significant amount of plastic ends up in rivers, lakes, oceans, and other waterways, resulting in devastating effects on the e
Additive manufacturing, also referred to as 3D printing, is a technology that has gotten significant attention from researchers, manufacturers, and builders the world over for its ability to quickly and easily fabricate multi-dimensional objects.
LIDAR can provide accurate, detailed data on elevation for the creation of sophisticated flood models and maps. A LIDAR system involves the use of aircraft-mounted lasers that send pulses down to the Earth's surface.
Lasers have been used to weld together plastic parts for decades, but until recently the technology had one major disadvantage: it could not be used to weld clear polymers. Recently, high-powered laser technology has allowed for the development of clear plastic welding techniques with the use of spe
Formalized into law in 2016, permitted development is a government policy in the UK that allows for office buildings to be converted into residential spaces. Is it working?
