Hypersonix is advancing reusable, hydrogen-powered hypersonic aircraft designed to make access to space faster, more routine, and less costly.

A new study suggests that the shade cast by rooftop solar panels could become a more important design tool for buildings looking to cut heat gain and fossil fuel use.

A new desalination approach produces freshwater without brine.

By mimicking years of neutron damage in days, ion beam testing could dramatically reduce the time and cost of qualifying materials for advanced nuclear reactors.

A new solution that could realize superconductors’ potential to deliver zero-resistance power under real-world conditions. The answer lies in the substrate.

At a global forum on sustainable development, ASME highlighted the role of engineering, standards, and industry in building resilient infrastructure.

Flexible carbon nanotubes replace brittle ITO in perovskite solar cells, boosting durability, efficiency, and lowering costs for next generation renewable energy.

Tesla alum Milo Werner breaks down what’s driving clean tech investments and how a standard process for commercializing these technologies could accelerate re-industrialization.

Ultra-thin silica film could replace industry-standard materials that rely on “forever chemicals.”

The Beresford Building, a historic landmark constructed in 1929 and located on Central Park West in NYC, underwent a groundbreaking geothermal retrofit to modernize its heating and cooling systems, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Wyatt Roberts of Dandelion Energy joins ASME TechCast to discuss how geothermal heating and cooling is being integrated into real building projects from an MEP perspective.

Shunting locomotives converted from diesel to hydrogen drives perform the same as before, without the emissions.

Cost limits deployment of hardware systems that closely track the environment. A University of Massachusetts Amherst researcher is addressing the problem using cameras from used smartphones.

The year has come and gone. It’s time to look back and test what you know about the most popular environment content published on the ASME website since January.

Mechanical engineers are on the frontlines of sustainability—from reduce, reuse, and recycle, to the importance of delivering success in the circular economy.

A green economy presents opportunities as industries worldwide prioritize sustainability and developing and implementing technologies that reduce environmental impact and promote energy efficiency.

Engineers are poised to play a crucial role in building and maintaining a global wind fleet amid the sector’s need to find and recruit more than 530,000 workers over the next four years.

ASME drives the conversation on sustainable manufacturing, offering industry expertise, innovative solutions, and a global network to advance sustainable practices and technologies.

Today's design changes are generational, according to Tommy Linstroth, founder and CEO of Green Badger, who shares what lies ahead in the built industry's ever changing sustainability landscape.

As the popularity of cruising grows, so does the commitment by the industry to be stewards of the world’s seas and oceans.

An obstacle in the fight to decarbonize with a solar energy solution is the need for workers. Cornell University researchers look at the solar workforce, job quality, and industry racial disparities.

As the popularity of cruising as a way to travel the world grows, so do the sizes of the passenger ships and the commitment by the industry to be stewards of the seas and oceans.

Powerful computer applications can draw as much energy as small countries. Engineers are working to develop less wasteful hardware that can be considered green.

Before engineers can change the world, what must change first is engineering itself. ASME is leading the way.

David Sandalow of Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, discusses the state of the world’s energy resources and where we are heading in the future.

Catherine McKalip-Thompson, manager of sustainability for Bechtel Infrastructure, describes trends in sustainable building design, smart cities and the integration of engineering, architecture and planning.

This interview addresses the opportunities and challenges in second and third generation biofuels.

This discussion covers important aspects of energy storage research developments and career development essentials.
