    Smart Robotics’ new Smart Palletizer is now available in three versions: the Essential Version, the Advanced Version and the Premium Version.

  • Formula 1 innovations fueled by the world’s fastest 3D printers

    3D printers are versatile in their ability to print one-off parts, but the individual print jobs can actually be quite slow.

  • Energy costs cut CERN operations

    Escalating energy costs and supply concerns are taking a toll on every sector, including CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.

  • Virtual energy storage systems: Storing power without batteries

    These systems integrate multiple controllable elements of energy systems, such as traditional energy storage and microgrids.

  • The economic impact of water risk

    The likely impact of water supply disruptions on industrial economies is expected to be severe.

  • Nanomembranes may cut energy spent refining crude oil

    Researchers revealed that membrane technology can separate the molecules in crude oil according to their different sizes and classes using a more energy efficient process that consumes around 90% less energy than distillation columns.

  • Turtle-inspired robot morphs its limbs according to its environment

    The Amphibious Robotic Turtle, or Art, is inspired by both land and aquatic turtles who possess similar bodies save differing limb shapes according to whether the turtles are terrestrial or aquatic.

  • Tufts team turns silk into non-stick material

    The material’s non-stick properties reportedly outperform the nonstick surfaces found on some brands of cookware.

  • Tank farms are key to chemical storage

    When working with flow rates of chemicals, the chemical engineer must learn to manage chemical storage, as even the most optimized reaction with the best-in-industry, Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacturing techniques will require chemical storage along the way.

  • Study: Flaring allows more methane into the atmosphere than previously thought

    The researchers determined that flaring’s effectiveness is overestimated, and that flaring releases five times more methane than previously thought.

  • Australian organizations to scan for illegal wildlife trafficking

    The researchers suggest that the system with its accompanying 3D X-ray algorithm could help stop the trafficking of exotic wildlife, thereby protecting Australia's agricultural industries and the environment from exotic pests and diseases.

  • Commercial electrolyzer module demonstrates low-cost green hydrogen at scale

    Verdagy's new three-cell 500 kW commercial electrolyzer module incorporates the largest anion exchange membranes in the world at 28,500 cm2. The company is on track to begin commercial operations in the coming years.

  • Watch as this HP robot automates site layout processes

    HP SitePrint robot is expected to automate the site layout process and features cloud tools to submit and prepare jobs to be printed, a touch-screen tablet for remote control and an array of inks appropriate for assorted surfaces, environments and durability requirements.

  • Primary causes of power outages

    Safeguarding the power grid from severe weather conditions can reduce power outages and lessen the time it takes for the electricity supply to return.
