  • Ferric’s new 145-amp voltage regulator cuts droop for AI

    The device cuts transient droop compared to other electrical components.

  • Starch sensor’s powerful color change unmasks hidden moisture

    The resulting sensor takes the form of a small, starch-based cylinder that can respond to a range of humidity conditions, from very dry to highly humid environments.

  • Origami-based construction method yields lightweight, load-bearing structures on architectural scales

    MIT researchers have developed a modular construction approach could be used to erect emergency shelters or fabricate aerospace components more quickly and with less material than some techniques.

  • Pack Expo 2026: GlobalSpec interview with Jorge Izquierdo, PMMI

    GlobalSpec Group Editor Chris Vavra interviewed Jorge Izquierdo, the VP of market development at PMMI at Pack Expo on the state of the packaging and supply chain industry.

  • New standalone thermal camera starts instantly, targets hidden faults

    Rision’s new fully self-contained device is designed for industrial inspectors, HVAC works and more.

  • Used EV packs energize Allye’s new EV fleet charger

    The solution can charge two vehicles at once.

  • New sensor system detects coughs without revealing who’s coughing

    CoughNet uses three Raspberry Pi computers equipped with microphones to monitor coughs in a room. An AI model first determines whether a captured sound is an actual cough.

  • New 10-minute paper test spots 'devil's breath' in drinks

    The team explained that scopolamine poses a significant public health and forensic concern because its effects can leave victims vulnerable, while its lack of color, odor and taste allows it to go undetected when ingested.

  • Fabricator's sleek new water tank factory a boon to workers

    Investment by Maguire to comply with federal Fitwel certification has also yielded product quality improvements and energy savings.

  • Pack Expo exhibitors spotlight AI, flexible motion, and workforce skills

    Exhibitors at Pack Expo showed how AI agents, contextualized data, modular motion systems and structured training can help engineers reduce downtime and simplify troubleshooting.

  • A sweet new strategy for healing chronic wounds

    The research could offer new approaches to treating chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers and nonhealing surgical wounds, which are vulnerable to infection and inflammation and can be costly to manage.

  • Blue light wards off raw chicken bacteria

    Researchers found that violet-blue photodynamic inactivation (VB-PDI) eliminated all 64 bacterial strains tested, regardless of species or antibiotic resistance.

  • This lollipop has a sensor hidden inside

    The device, called Lollylab, uses a sensor to measure acetaminophen levels in saliva collected on the lollipop’s stem.

  • Q&A: Severe duty vs explosion-proof — How to spec the right motor

    ABB’s Oscar Palafox explains how hazardous-location ratings, enclosure design and surface temperature separate explosion-proof motors from severe-duty motors.

  • The surprising nuances of engineer-to-order BOMs and why they matter

    Engineer-to-order, or ETO, is a unique development process that starts the entire design, test and build cycle only after a customer places an order. Due to this, the bill of materials (BOM) process is equally as unique; it requires more documentation, customizations and adaptations than a standard

  • 'My goal was to teach.' Meet Martha Martin, Stark State welding teacher

    “My goal is to finish my bachelor's in mechanical engineering at some point." Now, she's teaching welding to the next generation of fabricators.

  • LEAPTING's new robot tackles solar construction's toughest hauls

    The AFR was designed as a heavy-duty tracked machine that autonomously transported solar module pallets from laydown yards to installation rows without requiring a human driver or flagman.

  • Rice bran becomes antimicrobial, biodegradable food packaging

    The team treated a transparent film made from rice bran protein with argon-generated cold plasma, giving the biodegradable material antimicrobial properties against foodborne pathogens.

  • SubFab: 5 ways chipmakers could fix their hidden infrastructure

    The infrastructure layer under the cleanroom is becoming a focus for the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem after largely being overlooked in the past

  • Revolutionize heating solutions with flexible heaters

    PET heating elements are translucent elements that can be applied with double-sided adhesive backing and are as flexible as polyimide heating elements.
