How 3D printing reshapes battery design
Custom-shaped, high-performance battery materials can be printed under ordinary conditions to eliminate design constraints.
New plant-based wound dressing blocks infection before it develops
The dressing intervenes before the biofilm grows — when treatment is most effective — quickly releasing the antibiotic and reaching effective concentrations within four hours, thus reducing biofilm creation by more than 90%.
This mini, edge AI device identifies deadly mosquitos out in the bush
Existing mosquito surveillance requires collecting water samples from breeding sites and analyzing larvae in the lab to identify the species.
New spray-on coating boosts air filter particle capture, extends filter life
During trials, it boosted filtration efficiency by 10% to 30% and nearly doubled filter lifespan by delaying clogging.
Blueair launches wool-based EcoLast air filter for greener air purification
Blueair, alongside Lanaco, a New Zealand-based wool technology company, created a bio-based, USDA-certified wool filter that uses biodegradable alternatives.
SEW-EURODRIVE powers one of the world’s longest single-flight conveyor systems
The 42-mile Dune Express conveyor showcases advanced industrial engineering, heavy-duty reliability and large-scale logistics innovation.
Waste cotton stalks and eggshells turned into reusable biochar for wastewater antibiotic removal
The team developed a ß-cyclodextrin modified calcium-rich cotton-stalk biochar, called Ca@CBC/ß-CD, which was prepared via a microwave-assisted crosslinking process.
Shoring up water reuse with PFAS removal
An initiative to treat municipal wastewater to drinking standards before recharging aquifers will benefit from advanced ion exchange technology.
New automated gene sequencing system expedites disesase detection and tracking
The new process, called Pathogen2Read, streamlines genetic sequencing, enabling smaller labs to contribute more easily to U.S. FDA and the CDC outbreak-monitoring networks and expediting responses to foodborne illness outbreaks
Industrial drives are moving toward wide-bandgap materials, too
Thirty years is a long run for any technology in industrial equipment. Why is the industry moving away from long-established silicon? The answer lies in material physics.
DoorDash's drone delivery plan earns FAA approval — now it needs to be built
The company's extensive investment in automation now reaches to the sky.
Filtering PFAS with “molecular Velcro”
A new gel-based material filters PFAS “forever chemicals” from water more efficiently than many widely used commercial options.
How to select a threaded insert for your 3D-printed assembly
This white paper provides recommendations, design guidelines and performance expectations for various threaded inserts used in fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS) and stereolithography (SLA) 3D-printing processes.
Carbon-based coating from KSB delivers longer pump operating life
NoriResist is a diamond-like carbon coating designed for wastewater and process engineering applications and for use with hydraulic components such as impellers, wear plates, discharge covers, casing wear rings and impeller wear rings, as well as to the casings of close-coupled pumps.
New CIRCOR screw pumps designed for LACT boost service
Designed for long-term operation in demanding field environments, the pumps are engineered to deliver reliable performance while helping reduce operating and maintenance costs.
Ensuring thermomechanical and electrochemical reliability in AI data centers
Workloads once confined to traditional high-performance computing (HPC) environments are now migrating into data centers, prompting facilities worldwide to retrofit, upgrade or build entirely new infrastructure to support AI.
Fully automated jaw changes with SMW Autoblok’s KNCS-matic chucks
The KNCS-matic is designed for automatic quick jaw changes by conventional industrial robots.
