  • Cybersecurity for industrial systems: A roundtable series

    The age of the IIoT comes with a clear vulnerability: cyber threats to critical supply lines, infrastructure and manufacturing. Today’s thought leaders and industry experts are doing the critical thinking before this threat grows any further. These are discussions industrial and networking engineers and security experts can’t afford to miss.

  • Common clay can curb methane emissions

    Atmospheric methane can be removed by use of zeolite, an abundant and inexpensive clay.

  • Earth Day: Reflections on the future of clean energy

    The American Nuclear Society webinar will explore options for meeting the challenges of adapting emissions-free energy solutions on an unprecedented scale.

  • This UV air purifier is simple, serene and strong

    With its high air flow rate, it provides fast and reliable protection — with a tested virus reduction of 99.99%.

  • Neuroscience center's design mimics human brain

    The design of the 20,000 square meter center mimics the characteristic folds of the cerebral cortex to enable efficient collaboration between the various healthcare, education and scientific research teams.

  • Kaeser Compressors: Solving your air system challenges

    We spend all of our time thinking about compressed air so you don't have to.

  • Video: Single-axis solar tracker conforms to uneven terrain

    The terrain-following capabilities of the Horizon-XTR system are engineered to reduce grading, minimize steel costs and decrease project risks.

  • Video: Banana peeling robot shows what is possible for the future of food processing industry

    The team developed the technology in response to global labor shortages hitting food processing factories where human workers capable of performing such delicate tasks are in short supply.

  • Robotic vision sensor captures transparent objects

    The combination of infrared laser projection and thermography enables reliable 3D detection of transparent objects.

  • 3D scans create purpose for less desired lumber

    The information comes at a time when demand for low-carbon construction and building materials is increasing as the construction sector becomes more conscious about climate change.

  • Study investigates lifecycle carbon footprint of pipelines

    The report shows that TCP has a significantly lower carbon footprint, in the range of 30% to 60%, than an equivalent carbon steel pipeline solution for the defined case study.

  • Video: Ocean Cleanup devises new tools to trap plastic debris

    The Netherlands-based company will test these systems in Jamaica as part of its quest to tackle plastic in the 1,000 most polluting rivers within five years from rollout.

  • Company announces launch of its ultrathin coating technology for film, nonwoven composites

    The patent-pending ultrathin coating process reportedly cuts film grammage — the weight of paper expressed as grams per square meter — by 66% and reduces overall material consumption by 28%.

  • Corrosion-free copper thin films in development

    A major component used in the electronics, semiconductor and electro-optics industries thanks to its electrical conductivity, copper is vulnerable to oxidation which often leads to increased electrical resistance and, eventually, limited lifespan.

  • Part 2: The robots working on (and off) the offshore oil and gas platform

    Part two of the robots working on (and off) the offshore oil and gas platform looks at how automation solutions for oil and gas have been used for decommissioning and maintenance and repair.

  • First agreement for net-zero oil derived from captured atmospheric carbon dioxide signed by Occidental, SK Trading

    Under the agreement, Occidental Petroleum may provide SK Trading International with an opportunity to purchase up to 200,000 barrels of net-zero oil per year for five years.

  • Video: New virtual academy offers e-learning courses for the energy sector

    The courses are reportedly designed to address existing skill gaps while also serving to upskill workers with less experience in energy sector professions. Likewise, the academy aims to help those in the energy sector to transfer their skills to new energies such as geothermal and carbon capture, utilization and storage.

  • Slimy robot promises to retrieve swallowed objects from the human body

    Composed of a combination of borax, polyvinyl alcohol, which is a polymer, and neodymium magnet particles, the slime is controlled and manipulated via external magnets.

  • UIC coating prevents icing on airplanes

    To create the new de-icing coating, reportedly biofriendly and longer lasting than available de-icing solutions, the team based its recipe on current de-icing chemicals.

  • Black-I Robotics introduces its Fullscope Mobile Heavy Lift Arm

    The heavy lift pick and place arm originally stemmed from a project that U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded to Black-I.
