I have been looking into business impact assessments and I am confused about the "Impact" part. I have been asked several times about what the impact would be when a system fails, and it appears that this is information that peop… Continue reading Business impact assessments and quantifying impact
Although helmets are required for many sports, Canadian materials engineering technologist Albert Beyer believes that they don’t provide enough protection to the back of the head. His solution to that problem is a “crumple zone for helmets” known as th… Continue reading Impact-absorbing DCLR8 is like a rear crumple zone for helmets
While all team sports can be rough, hockey poses a particularly high risk of brain injuries. A new high-tech helmet is designed to warn of such injuries, by detecting and reporting on knocks to its wearer’s head.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & W… Continue reading Smart hockey helmet assesses players’ knocks to the noggin
Carbon nanotubes have found use in everything from heart-rate-monitoring shirts to smart bandages to more efficient solar cells. Now, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have used them in a helmet lining foam that offers better impact pro… Continue reading “Ultra-shock-absorbing” foam packs a plethora of carbon nanotubes
Astronomers have discovered a trio of new near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), including the closest known to the Sun. Another is one of the largest known asteroids considered potentially hazardous to Earth, measuring almost a mile wide with an orbit that may … Continue reading Huge potentially hazardous asteroid discovered hiding in Sun’s glare
