Many of us know how important it is to have clean water not just for ourselves but also for the environment. However, many places around the world are experiencing water scarcity. How are wastewater treatment plants helping preserve humanity’s water supply, even in the midst of extreme weather conditions?
Most of us use refrigerators every day—to store our favorite foods, leftovers, drinks, and even life-saving medicines. They seem simple on the outside, but are they really? What makes these machines so effective?
Cranes help builders efficiently construct high-rises—like the new MD Anderson Cancer Center building—in densely populated areas. How does the engineering behind cranes allow them to be so effective in these environments?
As the world becomes more urbanized, high-rise structures such as MD Anderson Cancer Center’s new South Campus Research Building 5 are becoming essential around the world. How are these buildings engineered to meet the needs of today and address the challenges of tomorrow?
Homes are comfortable and relaxing spaces for everyone. How are the walls and air conditioning units of homes engineered to turn them into internal oases?
Valves help regulate the flow of gases and liquids, but how can one valve control two different liquids at the same time?
