A device containing a pneumatic logic circuit made from 21 microfluidic valves could be used as a new type of air-powered computer that does not require any electronic components. The device could ...

A new, air-powered computer sets off alarms when certain medical devices fail. The invention is a more reliable and lower-cost way to help prevent blood clots and strokes — all without electronic ...

Air traffic controllers will be able to make decisions about air traffic with greater accuracy thanks to a new NASA software tool. Researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center, located in California’s ...

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs for ...

When we hear the words “pitot tube,” we tend to think more of airplanes than of air ducts, but [Franci Kopač]’s guide to pitot tubes for makers shows that they can be a remarkably versatile tool for ...

I want to know what I am breathing and I don't leave home without it. We talk a lot about air quality on TreeHugger, and lately we have been preoccupied with particulate matter, the tiny bits called ...
