Precision gantry systems, built to your specs
Custom precision gantry motion systems are engineered for high-accuracy industrial applications like inspection, metrology, laser processing, micro-assembly and high-end 3D printing.
Throwing shade at the great outdoors
A radiant cooling approach has been devised by University of California Los Angeles researchers to provide heat relief in outdoor spaces, particularly in urban areas.
Stretchable skin patch offers hospital-quality blood pressure monitoring anytime, anywhere
Working much like a bandage, the patch attaches to the skin and measures blood pressure using a different principle than traditional blood pressure cuffs.
Fused deposition modeling brings custom surgical guides to life
Choosing FDM over other manufacturing methods is a calculated decision and viable only when the design, material and workflow can meet the specific dimensional and mechanical requirements of the procedure.
SEW-EURODRIVE offers external lubrication systems for heavy industry gearing
External oil cooling and supply systems for heavy industry gearing are available with lead times as short as six weeks.
How material science improves spill response and enhanced oil recovery
Discover how oleophilic skimming has become an increasingly important, dual-purpose technology for spill resilience and reservoir optimization.
Fujian Fuwei selects commercial-scale equipment from Harper for carbon fiber production
The systems ensure faster oxidation, improved velocity uniformity, assured temperature uniformity and optimal control of the carbonization reaction.
Electric field-powered self-cleaning glass clears dust in seconds
This water-free and sustainable alternative to traditional cleaning methods could potentially be applied to not only terrestrial vehicles and buildings but also to solar panels located on probes used on the surface of Mars.
Proven space-grade actuators showcased by maxon at SmallSat 2025
Explore how maxon's actuators are powering the next generation of space innovation.
Southco introduces new T6 stamped friction hinge
This cost-effective access hardware solution helps designers remove play from their panels without breaking their budget.
Material filters the ‘forever’ out of these chemicals
A new material enables the removal and real-time detection of perfluorooctanoic acid, a member of the ‘forever chemicals’ family, from contaminated water.
AI-powered roadside system promises to prevent animal-vehicle collisions
The Large Animal Activated Roadside Monitoring and Alert system is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered roadside unit that uses sensors to detect animals close to roadways.
High-precision sensors for equally high-precision machine tooling
To meet the ever-increasing demands for precision and availability, machine tool companies are turning to advanced sensing solutions like Micro-Epsilon's induSENSOR LVP series, which provides continuous and reliable monitoring of the clamping position.
Smart wound sensor promises to transform chronic infection treatment
While traditional methods tend to require frequent removal of wound dressings for assessments, thereby delaying critical interventions, the new reusable device remotely monitors healing via a Bluetooth connection.
Floss-delivered vaccine sends flu antibodies into the body
In the lab, the researchers tested the technique by applying vaccine components like proteins and inactivated viruses along the gum lines of mice. The floss-based approach encouraged immunity and protected the mice from a lethal strain of the flu.
Egypt’s new capital city is an urban ‘clean slate’
This is what prompted Egyptian engineers to not issue repairs or maintenance for the city - but to construct a new city instead.
Wastewater as a source of green hydrogen
The electrocatalytic method offers scope to reduce the high cost of wastewater treatment while turning it into valuable green hydrogen.
Vanzetti Engineering attends Gastech 2025
The company will exhibit its high- and low-pressure cryogenic pumps for LNG and industrial gases at the Milan, Italy, event.
Wearable patch clings tighter as you sweat, without irritating skin
The new adhesive is based on polyelectrolyte complexes, or PECs — which are the sticky, water-based materials that gently bond to the skin.
Temporary tattoo may reveal spiked drinks by detecting hidden drugs
According to its developers, the sticker reacts within 1 second to low concentrations of the drug hydroxybutyrate (GHB), which is both colorless and tasteless.
