Research Headlines - Towards the intelligent plane (via Research & Innovation)

There are always smarter ways to make things, and these days there are usually also ways to make things smarter. EU-funded researchers have looked at aircraft structures from this perspective. In addition to innovative materials, they are proposing technology that would give airliners self-sensing capabilities and enable them to change the shape of their wings.

Research Headlines - Harnessing the sun to clean up industrial processes

Image
[Source: Research & Innovation] The production of cement and lime involves fossil fuels and produces harmful greenhouse gases. Industry could change this, if scientists can develop a technology that can use solar power for high temperature industrial processes. The EU-funded SOLPART project has built lab-scale reactors that use a solar powered process to meet this need. from EUROPA - Syndicated Research News Feed http://ift.tt/2pAhGqI via IFTTT
