A different way of doing business

Posted by on May 1, 2022

Traditional quality control in manufacturing involves sampling a percentage of products as they roll off the line to make sure they are made to specifications. But what about small-batch, customized parts that can be produced with 3D printing? Joseph Newkirk, professor of materials science and engineering, is part of a team developing quality-control methods for advanced manufacturing in small numbers – even one-offs – to ensure parts meet expectations.

Particle gel could solve low heat production efficiency for geothermal energy

Posted by on April 18, 2022

Geothermal energy comes from heated water or steam within the earth and provides a renewable source of energy to heat buildings and generate electricity. But many geothermal reservoirs also have an inherent problem – geological fractures that allow water to divert into other areas, cooling the water and the surrounding rock and limiting the efficiency of heat extraction from underground reservoirs. Researchers at Missouri S&T are working on a solution.
