New AI tool reveals airway obstructions often missed on CT imaging
The AI model functions like a second set of eyes, helping radiologists detect these radiolucent — invisible on x-rays and faint on CT scans — objects earlier and more reliably.
Lab-grown diamond coatings curb mineral scale buildup in industrial piping
The team turned to diamond because it is well-known for its hardness, chemical stability and ability to withstand high heat.
Putting the heat on battery recycling
The process consumes about half as much energy, 95% fewer chemicals and incurs significantly lower costs compared to existing methods.
Southco launches EC Damping Hinge
The hinge uses an embedded torque engine to generate resistance only when needed the most, so the panels are easy to move but nearly impossible to slam shut.
Next generation surface treatment with atmospheric pressure plasma
Discover how Plasmatreat's Openair-Plasma technology provides surface treatment solutions that meet the strict demands of modern manufacturing.
The innovative solutions that target impacts of AI in PCB manufacture and assembly
MacDermid Alpha offers a broad portfolio across circuit board assembly, board-level interconnects and thermal management, with a strong emphasis on process compatibility and reliability.
Sweat-powered sticker transforms cups into health monitors
The flexible sticker instead adheres to the outside of a drinking cup, where it collects trace amounts of sweat as a person grips the cup.
The dirty truth about clean manufacturing: Fluid power maintenance
Waste is minimized not by replacing entire assemblies, but by renewing high-wear internal elements.
Austria’s Semmering Railway: A landmark achievement in civil engineering
The leap from pioneering flat tracks made of iron rails across tame English farmland to carving switchback-free routes through Austrian mountains was nothing short of, well, radical.
Vanzetti Engineering strengthens its presence in the Asian marine market
At Marintec China 2025, the company will showcase the latest technological developments in its range of LNG marine cryogenic pumps.
New Chip Vac filter bag offers enhanced filtration and improved durability
This purpose-built filter material was specifically engineered for filtration applications and rated to filter particles as small as 30 microns.
Rethinking 'standard' occupants: How inclusive testing improves auto safety
Crash test dummies, called “anthropomorphic test devices”, were first developed for the military in 1949, then adopted by the automotive industry in the mid-1960s.
Geothermal energy has huge potential to generate clean power — including from used oil and gas wells
Geothermal energy appears poised to become a significant contributor to the energy mix in the U.S. and around the world and could provide as much as 15% of the world’s electricity needs by 2050.
What powers ExxonMobil’s new base-stock technology in Singapore?
The technology confirms that resid-to-lubes is a commercially viable flow scheme when paired with on-site residue-to-hydrogen and a feed-flexible integrated complex.
New compliance test tool release for OPC UA V1.05.06
The tool can be used to test OPC UA client, server, publisher, subscriber and so-called Global Discovery Servers products for compliance to the OPC UA specification.
Seaweed-based casings may replace plastic in home test kits
The team is hoping to create seaweed-based housings to replace traditional petroleum plastics without changing the way such diagnostic lateral flow tests work.
New material helps teeth regrow and fortify enamel
The gel, which is fluoride free, works by replicating the features of the natural proteins that encourage the growth of dental enamel in infancy.
