However, one of the major challenges with tire pressure monitoring […]

Ekona Power Inc is developing a technology to convert natural gas into H2, electricity, and a solid carbon stream. The solid carbon stream will then be sequestered. Their approach involves two reactors. The first reactor combusts natural gas and oxygen to provide the process heat to the second reactor. The second reactor heats natural gas […]

Inorganic elements, such as silver and copper, have long been used as effective antimicrobial and antifungal agents. Although the introduction of antibiotics in the early 20th century diminished the use of inorganic antimicrobials, increasing incidence and prevalence of antibiotic resistance has led to a resurgence of interest in alternative antimicrobial technologies. However, valid concern over […]
