  • Tolomatic introduces Drive Integration Tool to streamline servo linear actuator commissioning

    The online tool streamlines the selection and commissioning process to seamlessly match a drive system to a servo linear actuator.

  • 'Flexible' satellites are more common; deploying them remains a challenge

    One trending technique among satellite designers is to engineer systems and components that fold away, making them easier to pack into the rocket. These systems must deploy correctly once released - so how do engineers manage it?

  • Revolutionary 3D-printed wall panels: Moisture control and healthier living made easy

    To develop the material for the 3D-prited moisture absorbing walls, the team used finely ground marble quarry waste and a geopolymer binder composed of metakaolin and an alkaline solution, which bound the marble powder together to create a solid and durable material.

  • Transforming trash into tech: US firm to harvest rare Earths from e-waste for defense missiles

    REEcycle’s goal is to recover four elements necessary for the manufacture of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets, which are essential in assorted defense applications.

  • Bezos’ Blue Origin has successfully launched its New Glenn rocket to orbit - a feat 15 years in the making

    New Glenn’s success is a big leap forward for Blue Origin and a good sign for an expanding, ambitious commercial space industry.

  • More human than human: New motor drive turns robots into agile machines

    This high current capacity means the motor can deliver enough power for the accurate and challenging moves.

  • Freelancing in a gig economy: Is it worth it?

    Since the pandemic, many employers and employees alike have learned the benefits of freelance work; this means the gig economy is here to stay.

  • Autonomous vehicle raises seismic survey efficiency

    The MantaRay platform is engineered to recover ocean bottom nodes with minimal impact on the ocean floor.

  • Redex preloaded systems deliver precise positioning for machine tools

    The systems help machine designers create zero-backlash preloaded systems that achieve precise positioning and improved stiffness in CNC applications.

  • I want candy

    Just as candy concoctions require unique ingredients, so do cables specified for unique electrical environment applications.

  • Tackling the space junk crisis: On-orbit servicers

    There are approximately 3,000 derelict satellites in orbit right now, but fixing them is cheaper than launching new. Here's how engineers are helping on-orbit service satellites deal with unpredictable targets.

  • From new commercial Moon landers to asteroid investigations, expect a slate of exciting space missions in 2025

    Here’s a look at the most exciting missions planned for the coming year, which will expand humanity’s horizons even further, from the Moon and Mars to asteroids and beyond.

  • Column: Officials and governments make promises engineers must keep - here’s why it keeps happening

    The companies and governments commercializing and deploying breakthrough technologies make it hard for engineers to get the job done right. That’s a tension unlikely to dissipate any time soon. But it is at the crux of the special role engineers play; they are responsible bridging today’s world and tomorrow’s world.

  • Temperature can affect pH measurements. Here’s how to compensate.

    A slight difference in temperature can change the sample’s pH values, thereby causing significant measurement errors.

  • Mitsui Chemicals America, Inc. receives APR Design for Recyclability Recognition for ADMER RA105A recycling agent

    The new additive improves the mechanical and optical properties of recycled films and also ensures process stability during extrusion with recycled content.
