The new company designs and engineers battery, power platform and signal interconnect solutions for the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs).
EXAIR’s new non-marring nozzle provides precise blowoff while protecting expensive equipment
The nozzle is ideal for blowoff, cooling and drying applications located in general industrial or corrosive environments.
Molecular crystals could be a solution to nuclear waste
Molecular crystals have emerged as a promising alternative solution for nuclear waste storage. These structures -- based on cyclotetrabenzil hydrazones -- have the unique ability to capture and immobilize radioactive elements, such as iodine, in both organic and aqueous solutions.
Robotic gripper has self-healing properties
According to its developers, the elastomer can heal itself from macroscopic damages — scratches and punctures, for instance — inflicted by sharp objects and surfaces.
Will small modular reactors create new nuclear energy?
Given their operational efficiency and potential for lower environmental impact, microreactors offer a compelling option for integration into decentralized power systems.
A robot for the electrochemistry lab
This benchtop solution-handling robot conducts complex electrochemical experiments and analyzes data.
Robust, compact, Ex-compatible and with many optional features: New series of Ex solenoid interlocks
The solenoid interlocks keep guard doors and maintenance flaps locked until dangerous movements inside machines and plants have come to a complete standstill.
Emerson launches compact valve position indicator engineered for quick and easy commissioning
TopWorx DVR Switchbox is a compact, high quality and durable valve positioner that provides reliable open/close valve position feedback.
SECO scores design win of over €50M for coffee machine digitalization
The venture will explore the digitalization opportunities presented by the use of the artificial intelligence for the future generations of machines, aiming to launch new high-value-added services in the coffee sector.
Exploring the methods of custom tube assembly
Custom tube assembly for small diameter stainless steel tubing is used in many applications that often involve complex manufacturing processes to achieve a single, integrated component.
Feeling cheesy? If it's too sour, blame it on the pH
The cheese manufacturing industry relies on pH monitoring of products to ensure quality, flavor and texture. pH is an important control parameter for achieving desired batch consistency, from the initial pH measurement during milk acidification to the final measurements of ripened cheese.
