Liquid ammonia is a potential marine fuel in the shipping sector due to its low carbon, safe storage, and high energy density.
Hundreds of sensors the size of a milk bottle will be buried across Australia to help scientists better understand what lies beneath the Earth’s surface.
Muons are highly energetic particles that are ever-present in the air and pass via uniform huge objects with comfort. Sensitive detectors that have been installed along the Tokyo Bay tunnel quantify muons passing via the sea present above them.
Researchers based at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have now developed a framework to help guide scientists in assessing the habitability of other worlds on exoplanets.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Yantai Institute of Coastal Zone Research (YIC) has created a marine carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring system based on electrochemical sensing for quick in-situ analysis of dissolved CO2 in seawater, directed by Wei Qin.
Biofouling is a major challenge for underwater sensors, particularly in marine environments where long-term in situ monitoring takes place.
A class of lethal nerve agents, known as organophosphorus pesticides (Ops), is commonly used in agriculture and strikes a dangerous threat to the wellbeing of humans and their environment.
The Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) has developed a lateral-line-like underwater mechanical sensor (LUMS) that can actively detect water depth across a wide range of 0.3-1.8 m and sensitively collect mechanical stimuli from both land and water.
In a bid to improve road safety, a new manufacturing research collaboration is developing innovative geotechnical sensors that will monitor the health of Australia’s coastal roadways.
Engineers at Transport Scotland have investigated the potential for water level monitoring systems to help mitigate risks where transport infrastructure interacts with moving water. The trial was conducted at a bridge over Vales Burn near Hawick in Scotland, and the monitoring equipment was provided by OTT HydroMet.
