Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a new coating for food packaging that may replace PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The coating, made of graphene oxide, is non-toxic and compostable, and offers high levels of oil, water, and grease resistance ideal for containing food of all kinds.Food packaging materials are often coated with plastic, foil, or PFAS to achieve water- and oil-resist···

Ballet pirouettes on pointe require precision, balance, and technique, and they may involve an element of engineering in the future. A new podcast from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) showcases a new smart toe pad and ankle band designed to help prevent injuries by ensuring that ballet dancers are achieving perfect alignment on their toes.Creators Christine Fernandez, a biomedical engineering major, and Kaitlyn Ku···

Potential future missions to space could involve advanced AI systems that are capable of making autonomous decisions in real time. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) recently published a video presentation featuring Steve Chien, fellow and senior research scientist and technical group supervisor of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, at the AIAA SciTech Forum.Chi···

In a recent interview with Think WIOT, Chuck Evanhoe, chairman of the board at AIM Global, the Association for Automatic Identification and Mobility, reflected on the evolving role of global standardization and offered his thoughts on keeping members active and engaged.Evanhoe provided insights on the future of identification technologies, noting that in terms of trends, inter···
