A "lab on a contact lens" can measure the neurotransmitter serotonin in tears, potentially offering a novel wearable method to noninvasively analyze levels of stress, a new study finds. "Tears could become a practical, non-invasive source of biochemical information that can be measured repeatedly over time," says Yangzhi Zhu , director of the biomedical device center at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation in Los Angeles.

Geothermal startup Endurance Energy began drilling a well last week into the seafloor in an attempt to harness energy from an underwater volcano. The well, located 1,500 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean off the Oregon coast, will give the company access to hot fluid from Earth's crust, which will spin the turbine of an underwater power generator. The project takes an elaborate approach to tapping geothermal energy that's far more accessible elsewhere. Nearly every other geothermal...

This white paper gives distribution engineers and utility teams a practical overview of the substation exit, the short and high-consequence section where station capacity divides into individual feeders. It explains how covered, spacer-supported overhead construction can reduce common contact-driven faults while leaving room for future circuits. What you will learn about: Why a fault near the substation exposes more customers than one farther along the feeder, and why the first spans out of the...
