According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. production and consumption of non-hydro renewable energy sources (i.e., biofuels, biomass, geothermal, solar, wind) set new records in the first half of 2018. Of these sources, geothermal, while still relatively nascent in its implementation, holds great promise. Integrating geothermal systems for heating and cooling into a high-volume manufacturing facility – e.g., those producing semiconductor devices and materials – can yield energy and cost savings, while maintaining safety standards.

According to the American Trucking Association, there is a shortage of roughly 50,000 truck drivers across the country. In 2017, the ATA predicted the trucking industry would experience the highest level of driver shortfall, and by 2026 the ATA estimates the shortage could swell to over 174,000 drivers.

What happens when a big problem pops up?  For most of us, our first reaction is, “Quick!  Let’s fix it and make this problem go away.” However, if we rush to fix the problem too quickly, we may end up implementing a “solution” or “quick fix” that doesn’t solve anything because we didn’t take the time to truly identify and understand the root cause of the problem itself.

Uncover endless possibilities with Brewer Science, a leading innovator in technology. Each year, we offer a variety of internships, co-ops and post-doc opportunities to those seeking a career in technology.

Imagine an intelligent world where highways formulate warning messages and diversions, retail managers are alerted when a product is low in stock on shelves or cities are able to detect areas where power outages may occur before the event takes place.

A contradiction to the status quo, technologists and leaders at Brewer Science inspire and build real change every day. As an organization, we are empowered dreamers who thrive on creating technology that enriches communities and lives across the globe.

Plastic defined means “pliable and easily shaped.” According to the Science History Institute, plastic only recently became a name for a category of materials called polymers. Over time, humans have learned how to make synthetic polymers that are strong, lightweight and flexible.
