Smarter food: How nanotech enhances flavor and nutrition
By manipulating particles at dimensions typically below 100 nanometers (nm), precise delivery systems can be developed to protect and stabilize sensitive food components.
From waste to walls: How your morning coffee grounds are powering greener construction
The low-emission bricks are manufactured by mixing spent coffee grounds from cafes and restaurants with clay and an alkali activator.
Netzsch unveils new size addition to its Tornado rotary lobe pump lineup
The new Tornado T1 XXLB-F pump has been developed for demanding applications and enables efficient conveying in several areas of application with high flow rates.
8 recent trends in predictive maintenance
As innovations continue to blur the lines between IT, OT and AI, predictive maintenance will feel less like maintenance at all — and more like following a blueprint.
Companies are betting on AI to help lift productivity. Workers need to be part of the process.
Some 80% of AI projects end up failing, twice the rate of traditional IT projects. Organizations that skip the tough part – such as staff engagement, training and good governance – often find the promised benefits never materialize.
A boost for untapped US oil and gas resources
The U.S. Geological Survey has raised its estimate for how much oil and gas lies underneath U.S. public lands.
Turbocharging decarbonization: How Baker Hughes’ supercritical CO2 turboexpanders power NET Power’s zero-emission vision
The technology meets growing demand for low-cost clean energy and provides carbon dioxide (CO2) for the oil and gas industries and for sequestration.
Cobots enter the cleanroom workspace
Cobots, by nature, are designed to work alongside humans, which means a higher standard on systems design to begin with. This lends itself to the clean room environment, although additional design criteria must be examined.
Aquifer thermal energy storage for renewables
The technology allows short-cycle thermal storage and discharge functionality, enabling flexible switching between cold and heat storage.
Clippard releases isolation valves with hit and hold circuitry
The hit and hold option minimizes the heat generated by the coil when the valve is energized for longer than 5 minutes.
Smart food sensor sniffs out hidden bacteria, harmful chemicals in minutes
The device is designed to detect unwanted food-borne bacteria including E. coli, listeria and salmonella and it can also detect common herbicides, such as paraquat dichloride and glyphosate, as well as chemicals like antibiotics.
Microbes minimize hydrogen costs at depleted oil fields
A blend of microbes and nutrients injected into nearly depleted oil reservoirs serves to break down the remaining oil and generate hydrogen.
Momentus awarded NASA contract for in-space power system demonstration
The company will host a payload from CisLunar Industries to conduct in-orbit testing of next-generation power processing unit technology and power management systems.
SEW-EURODRIVE USA assembles and delivers P2.e planetary gear units in just 6 weeks
High-torque, compact drive solutions now available faster than ever for U.S. heavy industry customers.
AI predicts risk of sudden cardiac death in vulnerable patients
The model promises to not only save lives but to also spare people from medical interventions that could potentially be unnecessary, such as the implantation of defibrillators.
From carbon to candy: Chinese tech turns CO2 into sugar using methanol conversion
The new so-called biotransformation system does not rely on sugar cane or sugar beet cultivation — both of which require large amounts of land and water.
Not a stretch: How Apple Rubber’s O-rings and MicrOrings deliver excellence
Based in Lancaster, New York, Apple Rubber takes pride in manufacturing American-made products for its home country and helping to protect service personnel around the world.
How smart warehouses are reshaping distribution networks
Traditional warehouses, which rely heavily on manual labor and disconnected systems, are increasingly being replaced by integrated, automated environments. This shift is driven by the demand for faster deliveries, fewer errors and better adaptability to changing market conditions.
New ‘smart capsule’ monitors GI tract health from the inside out
Dubbed Pilltrek, the capsule is comprised of inexpensive sensors in a miniature wireless electrochemical workstation that relies on low-power electronics. As such, PillTrek is tiny, measuring 7 mm x 25 mm.
AI test spots heart disease before symptoms emerge
The tool, dubbed Cardisio, reportedly interprets heart activity via cloud-based AI algorithms in roughly 10 minutes.
