  • Lenze at SPS 2025: Efficiency and flexibility for the next generation of machines

    One of the highlights of this year's trade fair appearance will be the MF motor m650, which Lenze will be presenting for the first time.

  • Injectable hydrogels offer a new way to track biological activity within the body

    The team at Washington University is working to develop granular hydrogels comprised of microparticles that could potentially be injected, spread over tissues or used to encapsulate cells to monitor or stimulate biological activity.

  • Assigning tamper-proof identities to everyday items with new hydrogel

    To create a solution to this issue of counterfeiting objects and devices, the team turned the hidden structure of a soft, conductive hydrogel into a measurable signal that cannot be duplicated.

  • Material boosts battery and potable water output

    The discovery offers a twofold benefit: improved sodium-ion battery performance and increased potable water supply.

  • Alluxa expands Learning Center with Bioz-powered content hub

    Visit the Learning Center to explore the new Bioz content hub and stay informed on the latest developments in optical coating technologies.

  • Modern approaches to bioprinting technology

    Bioprinting combines principles from biology, materials science and manufacturing to create living structures from cells. Instead of printing with plastic or metal, these systems use bioinks made from cells and hydrogels to build tissue-like materials layer by layer.

  • Skin-like organic biosensors enable real-time health monitoring

    The new biosensors, which are devices capable of converting biological responses into measurable electrical signals, feature a unique design that promises to enable the collection of reliable recordings under assorted environmental conditions.

  • Southco R4-15 rotary latch: One ergonomic key to access multiple vehicle panels

    Available in multiple head styles and a zinc-nickel corrosion coating, the R4-15 lets manufacturers match existing latches while giving operators a single, comfortable key for field access.

  • New electric method clears frost from cars, planes — No heat or chemicals required

    The deicing method dubbed electrostatic defrosting (EDF) taps into ice’s inherent electrical properties for frost removal.

  • Cloud-based MPC retrofitting for HVAC control

    This approach to model predictive control retrofitting can modernize HVAC systems and other critical infrastructure at lower cost, extending the life of legacy through smarter, more adaptive control.

  • Bifacial solar panels: Are they worth the hype?

    How do these solar systems stack up against monofacial panels for utility- and residential-scale applications?

  • SEW-EURODRIVE launches DriveTag — A smarter way to streamline inventory, logistics and material flow

    The customized barcode labeling service is engineered to simplify product identification, streamline logistics and optimize internal material flow for industrial users.

  • Preparing the next wave of UK engineers

    The Tomorrow's Engineers Code program has introduced thousands of students in the U.K. to science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

  • Vacuum pump overheating: Prevention, response and modern solutions

    Excessive heat is not just an operational inconvenience, it can have a major impact on the pump’s service life, efficiency and performance, which ultimately affects productivity. This is why understanding the root causes of overheating is critical, as this enables operators to implement both preventative and mitigation measures.

  • Soft, air-powered robotic elbow exoskeleton eases muscle effort, reduces workload

    Designed particularly for workers whose jobs involve hours of lifting and repetitive motion and to prevent future musculoskeletal disorders, the Pneumatically Actuated Soft Elbow Exoskeleton (PASE) is a lightweight silicone "pneumatic actuator."

  • Shape-memory alloys promises to help prevent damage to railroad tracks

    During trials of ties warped by simulated rail traffic, the team found that they returned to their original state with SMAs activated by induction heating.

  • Live at Automation Fair 2025

    It is a microcosm of the current frontiers of industrial automation. Its show floor is often where problem-solving meets pragmatism.

  • Immersion cooling takes the heat off PV panels

    Excess heat that can undermine photovoltaic (PV) panel performance is effectively dissipated with this approach.

  • SAFE unveils new screw compressor for applications in the biogas and biomethane segments

    The new screw-compressor range spans installed power up to 400 kW, making it suitable for integration in both small- and large-scale plants.
