  • New grid, EV battery pack and EV technology helps drive a sustainable future

    High-quality tapes, seals and compression pads are important to meeting the challenges of electric vehicles (EVs), EV supply equipment and grid infrastructure as a whole.

  • Get in shape to engineer efficiently with Version 2024

    Discover new functions, get tips for engineering and work more efficiently with EPLAN’s eLearning courses.

  • An excavator that can autonomously build walls

    The excavator, dubbed HEAP, relies on sensors to draw a 3D map of a construction site as well as localize construction materials. A combination of machine vision and custom tools enable the excavator to scan and grasp large stones.

  • Corrosion — What it is and what can be done to prevent it: Part 1

    Follow along with GlobalSpec as we explore some of those solutions that go beyond the traditional anti-corrosion solutions that generally include painting, tarring, galvanizing and enameling among others, in this two-part feature.

  • Largest material handler for ports introduced by Fuchs

    With an output of up to 670 hp and a service weight of up to 330,700 lbs, the F120 MH is reportedly the largest and heaviest Fuchs machine so far.

  • Team engineers plants to serve as environmental sensors for dangerous chemicals

    The team engineered the color-changing plant using a protein called abscisic acid (ABA), which assists plants in acclimating to stressful environments.

  • Robotic system accelerates analysis of candidate solar cell materials

    The automated system streamlines the task of identifying efficient and non-toxic solar materials.

  • First US nuclear plant to use higher-enriched fuel

    Vogtle Unit 2 in Georgia is the first U.S. commercial nuclear reactor authorized to use fuel with over 5% uranium-235 enrichment.

  • Defense company introduces its smart riot control gun that refuses to shoot protesters in the head

    The smart gun is designed for crowd control, social disturbance, riots, day-to-day patrol and public safety for large events where the use of lethal force must be avoided.

  • Two specialized material handlers introduced by Serco

    The Serco 8500-SR32 and 8500-SR34 series loaders have been engineered to meet the demands of the cleanup industry. These loaders are designed to streamline operations and improve productivity while maintaining quality, durability and safety.

  • This fluorescent artificial seed monitors soil temperature

    Mimicking the aerodynamic behavior of winged Acer seeds, which are dispersed by the wind, the team developed the so-called Acer i-Seed.

  • GaAs solar cell offers elevated efficiency

    A new synthesis approach lowers production costs and raises the efficiency of these solar cells.

  • Hand gesture recognition technologies for healthcare and security

    Hand gesture recognition technologies have the potential to enhance the naturalness and intuitiveness of human-computer interactions.

  • 6,000 M open face rated coax cable assemblies introduced by BIRNS

    New solutions provide extraordinarily high-quality signal transmission and pressure resistance.

  • A seed-sized radar sensor detects microscopic movements

    The device relies on millimeter-wave — an electromagnetic frequency that ranges from 30 gigahertz to 300 gigahertz and is located between microwaves and infrared — radar technology.

  • New conveying systems for robotic pick-and place packaging introduced by Key Technology

    By minimizing hand packing, these new systems reportedly help increase production efficiency, reduce labor and improve sanitation.

  • Liebherr introduces its R 930 Tunnel crawler excavator

    According to the company, the R 930 Tunnel crawler is an excavator that was designed for underground construction sites.

  • New catalyst promotes mixed plastics recycling

    The catalyst offers scope to reduce process complexity and improve prospects for achieving circularity in the mixed plastics sector.

  • International team of researchers monitors nuclear weapons stockpiles with radio waves

    The researchers explain that the system uses two antennas to record a radio fingerprint of the room, with one antenna emitting a radio signal reflected off the walls and objects within the room while the other antenna records the signal.

  • Defense firm introduces its modular man-portable counter IED and drone device

    Netline Communications Technologies has launched its C-Guard Modular ManPack to counter the rising threats from drones, even in areas of conflict.
