How to choose the right pH sensor
The pH electrode is the core component of the pH measurement system, responsible for sensing and detecting changes in pH levels accurately. It converts the chemical information — specifically the activity of hydrogen ions in the sample — into an electrical potential.
‘Nanobone’ gives the body a new way to regrow bone
The calcium-aluminosilicate nanomaterial triggers the body’s own transforming growth factor ß1 (TGF-ß1), which immediately encourages clotting and recruits bone-forming stem cells to expedite bone regeneration.
Understanding transient flow in high-viscosity pumps
Transient flow analysis is expected to become a standard part of automated fluid handling and process optimization in high-viscosity pumping applications.
New seaweed-inspired approach removes ocean microplastics regardless of size
According to its developers, the biopolymer mesh cleans microplastics from both saltwater and freshwater, thereby helping to lessen the impact of microplastics on aquatic ecosystems.
Beer-making could help sand filters trap harmful bacteria
The malt spent rootlets biochar (MSRB) material was developed when the team converted the rootlets into biochar via pyrolysis at 850° C.
Waste rice husks transformed into reusable filters that trap toxic dyes
The team converted discarded rice husk into a sponge-like filter that can capture industrial synthetic dyes from textile manufacturing, leather processing, paper production and aquaculture.
New optical “fingerprints” make fakes harder to replicate
According to the KAIST team, the distinct microscopic fingerprints created by the randomly assembled colloidal nanoparticles can be validated with a smartphone flashlight and a laser pointer.
Understanding high precision planetary reducers
Planetary reducers deliver compact, efficient, reliable speed reduction, torque multiplication and lower torsional inertia ratios across industrial automation applications.
Eucalyptus bark waste gets a second life as a carbon filter for cleaner air, water
The team found a simple way to transform the bark into a porous carbon material.
US energy storage capacity nearly doubles in 1.5 years
And a record 20.2 GWh of energy storage deployed in Q2.
Teledyne now has over 1,000 imaging sensors in space
Including NASA’s recently launched Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
Brakes and tires are the new tailpipe
Euro 7 puts brakes and tires into the type-approval framework for the first time, but electrification alone won't hit the new limits.
Show feature: Access to IMTS 2026
Chicago has its own kind of gravity, and every other September it pulls the entire manufacturing industry into McCormick Place for IMTS.
How data center power demand is reaching LNG markets
Some LNG suppliers now treat AI and data center power needs as factors that could turn an expected LNG oversupply into a shortage by 2030.
Powerful self-cleaning tech defeats mineral buildup to capture ocean CO2
The new electrochemical process combines hydrogen gas and redox salt looping to capture carbon dioxide from seawater via controlled pH swings.
When should you replace your pH sensor?
It depends largely on its usage.
New thermal imaging cameras improve diagnostics, safety
Megger’s industrial devices could improve preventive maintenance and identify issues before faults.
US Army Janus program selects 5 nuclear microreactors
General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems’ reactor can deliver safe power during grid disruptions.
New monitoring framework exposes hidden weaknesses in urban metro corridors
The result is what the team calls a forensic multi-scale remote sensing (MSRS) framework that blends InSAR, laser scanning (L/S) and ground penetrating radar (GPR) capable of detecting possible infrastructure problems.
Nuclear power could fuel a new generation of plasma kilns for cement
The process would involve using electricity produced by small modular reactors (SMRs) to power thermal plasma torches that would supply the high temperatures necessary to produce clinker, which is the base ingredient for modern cement.
