How a battery sweats to keep cool
A passive cooling membrane helps lithium-ion batteries "sweat" — and prevents thermal runaway.
Dual-action smart bandage heals and monitors wounds
To develop the wound dressing, researchers devised a method for embedding carbon dots, which are tiny multi-functional nanomaterials, into a hydrogel dressing.
3D printing metal in orbit: A giant leap for interstellar travel
Plans by the ESA and Airbus to ramp up metal 3D printing aboard the ISS has huge implications for just how far space exploration can go.
FAULHABER BXI: Made for the next generation of robotics
The new BXI is the most powerful integrated drive system in the FAULHABER portfolio thus far and was developed to meet new requirements of modern robotic applications.
Sacramento State’s bid to create a downtown civic and innovation hub
A proposed college capital campus would turn underused state-owned land into a center for education, housing, workforce training and economic growth.
Advanced wear-resistant coatings for long lasting connections
This article takes a deeper look at the most capable materials in this evolving array of wear defense finishes, going so far as to detail which equipment type will benefit from each hardened coating solution.
Identity crisis: Behind the Charger’s thirsty V8 sunset and perceived pivot to electric
The V8 Hemi could not live on in Dodge’s flagship sedan. But combustion power was always part of the plan.
Power extension for high-efficiency drives
The high-efficiency IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors from NORD now cover a power from 0.35 kW to 11 kW.
Mineralized sawdust powers fire-resistant composite
The composite material was produced using the mineral struvite, a crystalline, colorless ammonium magnesium phosphate known for its fire resistance.
Early-alert patch flags allergic responses before symptoms hit
The AllergE patch is a microneedle-based biosensor that painlessly detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) — which is the antibody that triggers allergic reactions — from the fluid beneath the skin.
PI introduces configurable Modular Precision Linear stage family with thousands of possible configurations
The modular concept allows engineers to configure linear stages online by selecting from a wide range of mechanical, drive and feedback options tailored to their application.
Fabric that cleans itself could make detergent obsolete
The coating was developed by spraying a fabric with two polymers — poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(vinylsulfonic acid) (PVS) — which together created a dense hydration layer that lets dirt and microbes be washed away with just water.
Assured digital twins for making subsea integrity decisions and executing offshore maintenance
Digital twins provide the most defensible operational value in oil and gas when developed as assured engineering products with robust governance, validation processes and standardized asset information.
