This new study has recently been approved by the UK offshore oil and gas advisory group. This engineering study will look at design ideas for well capping.
Advanced computer security invention on it's way.
A new algorithm that seeks to enhance hospital security could have a real affect on people's lives. This shows that we are taking new steps towards securing patient privacy in our hospitals.
Record current flow set by superconductors.
A study done by Cambridge University has obtained a new record in current flow. New techniques in the manufacture of high-temperature superconducting materials have been utilised, and the achievements are substantial. Some of the samples that have been created are able to carry large amounts of electrical current.
New flood monitoring scheme launching soon.
A range of Universities are set to monitor the impact of floods on heritage sites. The hope is that this project will result in experts being able to predict and control the impact of floods and heavy rain on historic buildings.
The electric car.
More and more electric cars are beginning to make their way onto Britain's roads. This exciting concept could prevent a great deal of damage to the environment. That is why so many talented engineers are improving procedures and trying to make new breakthroughs. There are also dedicated teams of people that are focused on building the UK's electric car infrastructure. They want to get the public to view them as the same as normal cars and understand the major advantages that they provide.
Fish are the inspiration of new air-ships!
You should search online for pictures because some of these air-ships are pretty amazing. There is even one that looks a bit like an octopus and another that takes the form of a sting ray. This demonstrates how the complex adaptations that have occurred over millions of years are relevant to engineering. Scientists in Switzerland are now taking their inspiration from fish and their high performance aerodynamics.
Slovak nuclear reactor project supplied by UK company.
A UK engineering company called AMEC have recently announced that they will be supplying Skoda JS decontamination equipment.
