HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Welding distortion control in large fabricated structures

    Fabricated buildings, followed by such engineering marvels as oil rigs and ships, receive thousands of welds, covering seams and structural joints across massive interconnected sections.

  • Advanced motion control robotics for industrial automation

    The drive gear reducers from Pelonis Technologies, including the ROBONIC DRIVE and CYKODRIVE series, are built to meet space, energy and load demands in robotic systems.

  • Inflatable ‘marshmallow’ wings could make drones safer, more efficient

    The team from Celeste Ecoflyers suggests that large, heavy drones tend to pose a significant cybersecurity risk, because they can be hijacked and potentially used for nefarious purposes by malicious hackers.

  • Freshwater mussel protein could inspire stronger medical-grade glues

    The protein, called Dbfp7, is derived from the quagga mussel and, despite lacking a specific chemical feature that enables it to stick to surfaces underwater, it still proved capable of this type of adhesion.

  • Perfect hold — even at over 100 bar

    Freudenberg Sealing Technologies presents an elastomer-based sealing solution for carbon dioxide air-conditioning compressors.

  • Hydrogen and chemicals derived from biowaste

    A new electrochemical system enables the simultaneous production of hydrogen and value-added chemicals using waste glycerol.

  • Modular TPE bellows for special-purpose vehicles and industrial applications

    Using a modular tooling concept, custom-designed bellows made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) can be produced with significantly reduced tooling and fixed costs.

  • A common valve selection misconception in data center fuel systems

    AI-driven computing demand is accelerating data center expansion, compressing project timelines and increasing pressure on engineering teams to finalize systems faster.

  • Arburg at Interplas 2026: Pioneering trends for the British and Irish plastics industry

    This marks the first time Arburg’s new standard electric Allrounder Trend machines will be on show to a large trade visitor audience in the U.K.

  • Fracking and geologic hazards: Does fracking cause earthquakes or sinkholes?

    Discover why hydraulic fracturing is not considered a major cause of felt earthquakes.

  • Money shot: Energy weapons provide cheap, effective missile and drone defense

    Here's how breakthroughs in solid-state fiber lasers are reshaping air defense architectures and defensive costs.

  • Designing medical devices that stay reliable — even when connectivity drops

    Medical device architectures are being designed to operate without reliable network connectivity. In clinical and field settings, dependence on continuous cloud access can delay diagnostics or interrupt monitoring, particularly in time-sensitive applications.

  • Scientists use bacteria to transform trash into cosmetic ingredients

    This finding promises to potentially help create a more sustainable path to manufacturing medium-chain carboxylic acids (MCCAs), which is a family of molecules used in the making of cosmetics, cleaning products, agricultural feed, antimicrobials and nutritional supplements.

  • “Click-clotting” halts bleeding in seconds and could reshape emergency care

    The new approach, dubbed "click clotting," unites red blood cell surface proteins via a chemical reaction, thus producing a biocompatible clot that is reportedly 13 times more fracture resistant and four times more adhesive than natural blood clots.

  • Engineers create cooling system to preserve donor lungs

    The new thoracic organ-recovery cooler reportedly controls temperature, pressure and humidity within a sealed, sterile environment. This design reportedly better preserves organs.

  • Beer waste finds new life as eco-friendly paper

    According to the researchers, the brewer's spent grain features a composition rich in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin — which also happen to be key components for papermaking.

  • Depleted oil fields repurposed for hydrogen supply

    The commercialization and global deployment of subsurface hydrogen production from depleted oil and gas reservoirs advances in a collaborative effort involving Eclipse Energy and Wood.

  • Safeguard in-cab electronics with ROLEC’s profiCASE diecast HMI enclosures

    The enclosures offer the ideal protection for today’s new generation of in-cab touch screen systems in tractors and off-highway construction vehicles.

  • High-efficiency motor technologies for industrial decarbonization initiatives

    For the cold truth of the matter, and that’s the only thing that’s cold about this problem, climate change isn’t letting up.

  • Fruit wash eliminates 94% of pesticides, keeps grapes fresh for 15 days at room temperature

    The new solution, developed by a team from the University of British Columbia (UBC), reportedly removes the majority of surface chemicals and helps fruit stay fresh for longer.
