  • 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.

  • Can CCS decarbonize offshore oil and gas?

    Review the importance of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology for offshore operations and how to overcome technical hurdles associated with its implementation.

  • World Water Works expands bioaugmentation solutions with new ArxZyme anaerobic products

    The new products are designed to optimize the performance of anaerobic digestion systems, lagoons and high-strength wastewater treatment facilities.

  • Colorful series of lectures: From charcoal burner to “floating professor”

    Expert lectures at K 2025 cover sustainability topics ranging from plastics recycling to the use of environmentally friendly e-fuels in motorsport.

  • How vertical lift modules are elevating critical warehouse operations

    Warehouse operations are evolving constantly, and the pressure to do more with less has never been greater; especially for warehouse managers tasked with embracing automation.

  • Growing the US grid to meet rising demand

    The U.S. Department of Energy recently launched the Speed to Power initiative to accelerate the pace of large-scale grid infrastructure project development and meet projected increases in electricity demand.

  • From toilet to tap: Water reclamation in Singapore

    Discover how Singapore’s NEWater program assisted in gaining public approval of treated wastewater as potable water.

  • Southco: Future-proofing energy storage

    Review the strict standards implemented to protect battery energy storage system enclosures and the hardware engineered for compliance.

  • New drug-delivery cartilage material shows promise for arthritis treatment

    The team suggests that this development could pave the way for longer-lasting, targeted arthritis treatments that automatically respond to flare-ups, sensing when something within the body is wrong and delivering treatment precisely where it is needed.

  • Shielding pressure instruments against corrosive damage

    This article examines the various forms of corrosion, the factors that contribute to corrosive environments and the importance of selecting compatible materials for process instrumentation.

  • Oyster-inspired adhesive bonds broken bones, potentially replacing metal implants

    The medical adhesive, dubbed “Bone-02,” is designed to repair broken bones quickly and without the need for metal plates, screws or major surgeries.

  • Misalignment matters: Bushing and sleeve sizing for real machines

    When static theory meets the messy and unpredictable reality of the shop floor, they correct their sizing practices in real-time, adapting to project variables as needed.
