Filtering PFAS with “molecular Velcro”
A new gel-based material filters PFAS “forever chemicals” from water more efficiently than many widely used commercial options.
How to select a threaded insert for your 3D-printed assembly
This white paper provides recommendations, design guidelines and performance expectations for various threaded inserts used in fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS) and stereolithography (SLA) 3D-printing processes.
Carbon-based coating from KSB delivers longer pump operating life
NoriResist is a diamond-like carbon coating designed for wastewater and process engineering applications and for use with hydraulic components such as impellers, wear plates, discharge covers, casing wear rings and impeller wear rings, as well as to the casings of close-coupled pumps.
New CIRCOR screw pumps designed for LACT boost service
Designed for long-term operation in demanding field environments, the pumps are engineered to deliver reliable performance while helping reduce operating and maintenance costs.
Ensuring thermomechanical and electrochemical reliability in AI data centers
Workloads once confined to traditional high-performance computing (HPC) environments are now migrating into data centers, prompting facilities worldwide to retrofit, upgrade or build entirely new infrastructure to support AI.
Fully automated jaw changes with SMW Autoblok’s KNCS-matic chucks
The KNCS-matic is designed for automatic quick jaw changes by conventional industrial robots.
Honglun debuts leak-free KHB ball valve for high-pressure hydraulic systems
The KHB Ball Valve series is designed to meet the growing need for precise fluid control, dependable sealing and high-pressure resistance in modern hydraulic systems.
Leak-free magnetic drive pumps built for water and wastewater processing
The pumps feature a high-strength neodymium magnetic drive system with encapsulated inner-drive magnets manufactured from unfilled polypropylene or PVDF for dependable, sealless operation.
Advanced membrane filtration delivers ultra-pure in-line ingredient separation
Using microfiltration and ultrafiltration systems within continuous in-line processing environments allows manufacturers to isolate and concentrate proteins while maintaining steady material flow throughout production.
Study: Incinerator bottom ash is a surprisingly good cement filler
The team examined micronized powder recycled from bottom ash, testing its chemical composition and performance when used as an ingredient in mortar — which is the combination of cement, sand and water used in construction.
EV sales still at least double-digit growth in Europe
Chinese brands MG and BYD make inroads.
New technology enables earlier detection of rising main bursts
The new technology applies electrical signature analysis (ESA) to remotely monitor pumps and motors from the motor control center, with artificial intelligence (AI) used to analyze the current and voltage they draw.
Why transparency is needed in lithium-ion battery recycling
A new GAIA report finds that battery recyclers report almost nothing about what they release, recover or burn, leaving regulators and communities to find out the hard way.
Securing the future: Multi-point latching solutions for global energy storage systems
The customized multi-point latching system delivers outstanding physical protection, waterproof and dustproof performance for high standard energy storage equipment.
New wearable sensor warns users of environmental hazards
The wearable patch, which features miniature sensors, can detect environmental hazards like dangerous gases or heavy metals present in water.
UNIMOTION introduces new ironless LMLA motors
The primary benefits include extremely high precision, high dynamics, the absence of cogging force and no attractive force between the motor and the magnetic plate.
Researchers develop new technique for detecting plastic landmines
The developers of the new technique explained that ground-penetrating radar, magnetometry and electromagnetic induction are less effective at detecting plastic mines than detecting those that are derived from metal.
New autonomous technology streamlines naval mine detection and disposal
SIGURD’s developers believe that AUVs could be used to shorten that process with operators deploying the system directly into contested waters.
New portable laser system from China targets drones
The new system focuses a laser beam on a distant target, such as a drone. That beam burns through wires, destroys sensors and cameras, or overheats battery packs, thus destroying the drone.
OnLogic launches “Edge AI Excellence Awards” to celebrate real-world industrial AI innovation
The competition invites innovators, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers and end users who have successfully deployed edge AI applications built using Intel-powered hardware from OnLogic.
