3D-printed tissue featuring fluid channels mimics real organs for surgical training
Researchers have developed a new 3D-printing method for creating realistic human tissue structures that could one day be used in the making of human models to train surgeons and doctors.
Engineering the hydrogen pipeline pathway
The potential to use existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure to safely transport hydrogen is being evaluated by U.K. gas operator SGN.
NORD powers bulk material handling with reliable, robust drive solutions
NORD’s modular drive systems meet the complex demands of stockyards, conveyors, load-out systems and more.
Enhancing electrical safety and accuracy: Long-handle probes for testing in compact environments
Whether troubleshooting inside cramped control panels, verifying voltage in energized switchgear or performing diagnostics on remote transformers, these probes help keep users’ hands safely away from live parts while delivering dependable, high-quality readings.
Smart glasses monitor health through blinking
The team believes that the device could potentially pave the way for assessing fatigue, mental workload and eye-related health issues in real-world settings, such as long-haul trucking or in the office.
Flax-based smart sensor fabric lets asphalt roads report damage without drilling
Teaming up with experts in the SenAD2 project, the team created the bio-based fabric, which is reinforced with conductive sensor wires that are directly embedded into the asphalt.
Levee inspections in the technology age
Discover how advances in remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicle and other technologies enhance levee inspection programs.
New Ultra Duty Line Vac for maximum wear resistance and throughput
The units are engineered for moving abrasive materials such as peat, sand, glass, powders and other fine media commonly found in blasting, grinding and finishing operations.
Artificial muscle switches from soft to rigid to support 4,000 times its own weight
This transition — much like rubber transforming into steel — occurs when the artificial muscle contracts and becomes capable of lifting many times its own weight.
ARO launches electric diaphragm pump to enhance efficiency and reliability
The pump is engineered to provide enhanced efficiency and savings, especially in applications where compressed air is not an available resource or higher efficiency is desired.
Closing the EV battery circular economy
Cathode materials from end-of-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries are recovered and recycled with this new process.
The ESA has a space junk plan; will it be enough?
Kessler syndrome means there is so much hypervelocity debris in orbit that it would be impossible to launch craft, or even maintain existing satellites in orbit. That's a challenge on an planet with starry ambitions.
GF expands Uponor ChlorFIT offering with launch of 565 Butterfly Valves
These valves are designed for a wide range of applications, including domestic water, hydronic heating, chilled water and industrial water.
Guide to troubleshooting in pH labs: Common issues and solutions
Troubleshooting in a lab environment requires a structured approach focusing on these key factors.
How clamp-on flow meters optimize processes
Flow measurements are traditionally expensive, leading many companies to believe it is not necessary to perform them at the intermediate steps. This is a missed opportunity. By adding cost-effective, clamp-on flow meters to the intermediate steps of a process, the entire process can be optimized.
Procurement reinvented: How NEXUS drives supply chain resilience
Electronics procurement is shaped by fluctuating lead times, rising costs and unexpected EOL announcements. Regulations such as RoHS and REACH add complexity, while counterfeit parts remain a persistent risk.
Rethinking reach: Designing assistive exoskeletons for the upper limbs
Aging populations face rising rates of stroke and degenerative conditions requiring long-term rehabilitation, while industrial and service workers contend with fatigue and repetitive strain from overhead tasks. These demands highlight the need for technologies that extend physical capacity while preserving user autonomy.
This Swiss-made guardian angel keeps drivers safe
The tool, dubbed DriverCheck, is a miniaturized in-cabin camera that continuously monitors the driver’s heartbeat, breathing and alertness in real time.
Smart microfibers turn ordinary objects into health monitors and energy sources
The team sought to develop fibers thinner than a human hair that can be tuned on-demand to add sensing, energy conversion and electronic connectivity capabilities to assorted objects of various shapes and surface textures — like glass, plastic and leather.
Here comes the sun! 70 gigawatts of solar and wind power for Australia
Western Australia is currently in the process of constructing one of the largest projects on the planet, and the wheels of future renewable energy are starting to turn.
