Arburg at Chinaplas 2026: Everything for the Asian market
The new Allrounder Trend electric machine concept will celebrate its Asian premiere at Chinaplas 2026.
Paving block made entirely from recycled mollusk shells, mining waste
The team replaced traditional mortar and concrete aggregates with a shell-based material made from Acanthocardia tuberculata, an edible saltwater clam commonly canned and sold commercially.
Refrigerant alternatives and industry adoption
The shift away from high global warming potential fluorinated gases in cooling systems requires technical re-evaluation of the balance between thermodynamic efficiency, operational safety and total lifecycle climate impact.
Innodisk, RealSense and EverestLabs partner to enable real-time AI sorting for industrial recycling
The solution combines Innodisk’s APEX-P200 edge AI system, RealSense depth cameras, and EverestLabs’ RecycleOS platform to enable accurate material identification and sorting directly on recycling facility production lines.
Formula 1: new sustainability rules are changing the way races are won
Technologies refined in racing have later appeared elsewhere, from advanced braking and handling systems in road cars to sensor technologies now used in hospitals.
Designing connected medical devices? Don’t overlook these cybersecurity risks
Modern medical devices function as connected nodes within complex clinical networks instead of isolated instruments. A single vulnerability can consequently compromise patient safety, data integrity and institutional trust.
Bacteria turn plastic bottles into a drug to treat Parkinson’s disease
The new method harnesses the power of bacteria to convert post-consumer plastic into L-DOPA, which is a medication for the neurological disorder.
METCASE’s MINIMET compact instrument enclosures now in custom sizes and new colors
These are ideal for medical electronics, test and measurement, industrial control, peripherals, interfaces, switchboxes, communications and laboratory equipment.
Southco introduces R4-50 heavy-duty rotary latch to improve cab access and operator safety
Designed for off-highway and agricultural equipment, the rotary latch enables independent interior and exterior actuation, reduces vibration and accidental release, and offers flexible integration for cab door systems.
Rifle-mounted laser disables drones with a burst of light beams
The platform is designed to counter unmanned aerial threats using non-kinetic directed-energy technology that disrupts or disables hostile drones, thereby protecting military forces and critical infrastructure.
Fish scales could pave the way for human cornea regeneration
Following thorough analysis, the team found that fish scales showed strong potential for corneal repair and regeneration, demonstrating functional success in lab tests and in implanted experimental animals.
IKO LCRB crossed roller bearings dramatically lower weight and size for low- to medium-precision designs
These roller bearings can have as much as 60% less mass than equivalently sized alternatives, helping designers downsize equipment, maximize operating efficiency and reduce cost.
Surge predicted for global power demand
Electricity demand is on the rise worldwide, prompting a continuing increase in generating capacity output from traditional as well as renewable energy sources.
Advanced MES capabilities for scalable, high-quality solar cell and module manufacturing
This manufacturing execution system is engineered for ingot, wafer and high-volume solar cell and module production.
Hypersonic heat: Next-gen ceramics could solve re-entry ablation issues
When craft undergo atmospheric re-entry, ablative thermal protection systems (TPSs) save the day. Sometimes they fail. Replacing them is expensive. New research sheds light on how to elevate TPS performance.
Liquid metal and light power green hydrogen production
An economical means of extracting sustainable hydrogen from seawater or freshwater relies on liquid gallium, a metal with a low melting point, to pull the gas directly from water when exposed to light.
NORD extends IE5+ synchronous motor line with new 112 frame size
The new SK 112 motor size extends the power of compact IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors to 15.0 hp.
Digital isn’t enough: The real challenge behind flowmeter innovation
From the oil and gas sector and chemical processing to beverage production and HVAC systems, countless industries depend on precise flow measurements in their operations. Understanding the movement of liquids and gases within a system is essential for achieving optimal performance.
Swallowable 3D-printed robot could revolutionize gastrointestinal procedures
The new capsule robots developed for medical applications can reportedly be swallowed by patients and steered using magnetic fields.
Subsea valve performance: Sealing, reliability and operation at extreme depths
In subsea systems, valve failure can lead to loss of containment, environmental pollution, safety hazards, production stoppages and costly intervention campaigns.
