I was in the Bolivian Andes, 14,000 feet up. The 1970s-vintage water pipeline that snaked from a seep, across a river and down to the village’s water tank was slowly failing. Our engineering team from ...

It sounded like a panacea for climate change: "geo-engineering" the atmosphere to block some sunlight and counter global warming. Now scientists scrutinizing the approach say it could produce ...

Nagpur: As Albert Einstein once said, “Scientists investigate that which already is; engineers create that which has never been.” Even though the number of engineers in India has increased rapidly in ...

Static electricity was first observed in 600 BC, but researchers have struggled to explain how it is caused by rubbing. With a better understanding of the mechanisms at play, researchers potentially ...
