Mineralized sawdust powers fire-resistant composite
The composite material was produced using the mineral struvite, a crystalline, colorless ammonium magnesium phosphate known for its fire resistance.
Early-alert patch flags allergic responses before symptoms hit
The AllergE patch is a microneedle-based biosensor that painlessly detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) — which is the antibody that triggers allergic reactions — from the fluid beneath the skin.
PI introduces configurable Modular Precision Linear stage family with thousands of possible configurations
The modular concept allows engineers to configure linear stages online by selecting from a wide range of mechanical, drive and feedback options tailored to their application.
Fabric that cleans itself could make detergent obsolete
The coating was developed by spraying a fabric with two polymers — poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(vinylsulfonic acid) (PVS) — which together created a dense hydration layer that lets dirt and microbes be washed away with just water.
Assured digital twins for making subsea integrity decisions and executing offshore maintenance
Digital twins provide the most defensible operational value in oil and gas when developed as assured engineering products with robust governance, validation processes and standardized asset information.
AIRMATIC introduces the AIRGUARD Air Prep Cart for reliable, on-demand compressed air treatment
The mobile compressed air treatment system includes an air dryer, filter, regulator with gauge and lubricator securely mounted and protected in an easy-to-maneuver cart.
Top tier U.S. education meets top European tech to shape the future of industry
Purdue University, Rittal and Eplan announce a strategic partnership for smart manufacturing and engineering education.
The importance of soil pH measurement in plant health

Intelligent pump features for flow, pressure and vacuum control and versatile dosing
Four new intelligent pumps integrate modern sensor technology and proprietary motor control to maintain exact setpoints, even under changing conditions.
AI claw drone captures downed UAVs
The Project RED drones were designed to fly over and inspect downed unmanned aircraft systems using AI software to distinguish friendly drones from enemy drones.
Fungi turn leftovers into lifesaving resources
The team is focused on an "emerging circular fungal biorefinery," which is a system wherein low-value agricultural byproducts are converted via fungal fermentation into high-protein, nutrient-rich foods.
Old bread, new energy: New process cuts fossil fuels from chemical manufacturing
In the lab, the team used a common strain of E. coli to consume sugars from waste bread via a new approach as a green alternative for several industries.
Steel-ball device helps buildings ride out earthquakes
The simple energy-dissipation device, the team explained, is a cylinder filled with steel balls that relies on the power of friction to protect infrastructure from earthquakes, wind and industrial vibrations.
HCSS unveils the future of HeavyBid on the web
Civil construction estimators can now securely manage bids from the office, the field or remote locations, free from the constraints of a desktop setup.
ROSS Controls announces new hydraulic lockout valves
These are engineered to block the flow of hydraulic fluid in order stop cylinder motions.
Black soldier fly larvae emerge as safe solution for organic waste disposal
During trials of the new approach, the larvae ate spoiled food, sewage sludge and livestock manure, thus removing most human-pathogenic viruses.
Purdue team creates safer technique for locating buried pipes
The device is expected to improve upon traditional ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data to better determine the location, orientation and radius of underground pipes.
EPC accelerates robotics innovation with integrated three-phase BLDC motor drive inverter
The motor drive inverter evaluation board is specifically engineered for humanoid robot joint applications.
