HEADLINES ARCHIVE

  • Software for smarter networking and manufacturing

    The networking solution improves overall communications with CNC machines, CMMs, PLCs, 3D printers, robots, laser markers, dot peen markers, tool presetters and test stands.

  • Powering care anywhere: Boosting energy efficiency in portable medical devices

    Energy efficiency is a determining factor in the clinical viability of portable medical devices. Achieving the required operating lifetimes depends on coordinated use of low-power electronics, supplemental energy sources, power-aware system architecture and appropriate battery selection.

  • Toothbrush-activated powder whitens, repairs and protects teeth

    The researchers are developing a tooth-whitening compound that produces ROS when activated by electric toothbrush vibrations while simultaneously strengthening and repairing teeth.

  • A 100-hour battery for clean energy storage

    The technology provides ultra-long-duration energy storage for thousands of hours and the capacity to deliver clean power continuously for more than 100 hours at a time.

  • Softing Industrial expands dataFEED OPC Suite with FANUC CNC connectivity and MQTT Version 5

    Users gain access to process and status data from modern FANUC controllers without having to make changes to the existing control program.

  • Vantablack: The world’s darkest material

    The material is incorporated into a range of coatings that dramatically reduces stray light and improves performance across a broad range of industries.

  • Stylish MOTEC desktop enclosures now with carry handle and sloping front panel

    The enclosures are ideal for measuring and control, peripherals, interfaces, switchboxes, modems, laboratory equipment and medical/wellness devices.

  • Pine bark removes up to 90% of blood pressure, painkiller drugs from wastewater

    Chemically modified pine bark captures pharmaceutical residues before the waste reaches rivers and other bodies of water.

  • New off-grid filter eliminates over 99% of nanoplastics

    The porous metallic filter attracts negatively charged nanoplastics within water.

  • Sustainable aviation fuels: Real fuel or green hype?

    Engineers are turning to a never-ending supply to fuel long-haul airliners of the future: municipal waste. Sustainable aviation fuel from solid waste can offer a reduction of as much as 80% to 90% of carbon emissions. Is it too good to be true?

  • Operational constraints on Venezuelan heavy crude production and export

    The operational priority is restoring the upstream-to-export chain: reliable diluent supply, effective blending/upgrading, intact pipelines and storage, and consistent marine loading.

  • Norton goes for the gold

    Norton products and expertise are making it possible for U.S. luge team athletes to go for the gold.

  • Tungaloy responds to rising carbide costs with smarter, long-term solutions

    The company is emphasizing exchangeable-head solid carbide systems that reduce material consumption and environmental impact while achieving superior machining performance.

  • A guide to DC servo motor drive operation methods

    ElectroCraft offers three distinct motor drive families with two-quadrant or four-quadrant operation for precision speed, torque and position control.

  • Prioritizing traffic types to encourage mass transit: ‘If the bus is beating you everywhere, maybe you’ll get on the bus’

    Perhaps as much as 90% of the knowledge needed for successful deployment can be considered generalizable — and therefore manageable by AI tools.

  • Motion potion: A (slightly magical) look at digital servo growth

    Precision motion control options are being used more and more in fields like robotics, semiconductor equipment, and electronics manufacturing.

  • Steute Meditec at the WHX Dubai 2026

    Four-pedal foot switches that combine innovative functionality with total flexibility and freedom of movement — ideal for use in the OR — will be highlighted.

  • The world is in water bankruptcy, UN scientists report — Here’s what that means

    Water bankruptcy is a chronic condition that develops when a place uses more water than nature can reliably replace, and when damage to aquifers and wetlands becomes hard to reverse.

  • Lubrizol showcases medical-grade TPU and device innovation at MD&M West 2026

    Lubrizol will highlight its portfolio of medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) solutions alongside its differentiated design, development and manufacturing services for medical devices.

  • Indoor energy harvester for battery-free IoT

    A battery-free solution from Dracula Technologies can take a bite out of the ongoing internet of things (IoT) demand surge by harvesting energy from ambient indoor light, whether natural or artificial.
