  • How the wind can fuel AI centers

    Artificial intelligence (AI) Greenferencing is a new approach that places modular data centers directly at wind farm sites to power AI workloads.

  • JFrog enables AI-driven developer workflows with robust MCP server

    The server allows developers to seamlessly employ artificial intelligence (AI)-agents across the JFrog Platform, enabling faster, more reliable, secure software development and delivery at scale.

  • Perilous pollutants persist in US waters

    Recent monitoring reveals that toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have contaminated 98% of tested U.S. waters.

  • New IKO X-Y stage features unique parallel drive configuration to give designers exceptional freedom

    Machine designers can achieve highly accurate positioning without sacrificing workability and performance.

  • Emerson announces 2025 Discrete Automation Scholarship recipients

    The scholarship program recognizes exceptional undergraduate and graduate students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

  • New laser tank disables and destroys drones in mid-air

    The ALKA-KAPLAN combines the KAPLAN HYBRID tracked platform with the ALKA DEWS, thus creating a mobile, armored platform capable of fighting against drones while simultaneously working alongside tanks and infantry vehicles in challenging environments.

  • Tips for calibrating large-scale sensor networks

    As sensor deployments scale into the hundreds, the manual effort and cost of calibration multiplies very rapidly, making manual and component level interventions increasingly costly.

  • MPC-based HVAC integrated with thermal storage

    Model predictive control (MPC) enhances HVAC capabilities by integrating storage systems into a forecasting-based optimization framework.

  • Companies are betting on AI to help lift productivity. Workers need to be part of the process.

    Some 80% of AI projects end up failing, twice the rate of traditional IT projects. Organizations that skip the tough part – such as staff engagement, training and good governance – often find the promised benefits never materialize.

  • Cobots enter the cleanroom workspace

    Cobots, by nature, are designed to work alongside humans, which means a higher standard on systems design to begin with. This lends itself to the clean room environment, although additional design criteria must be examined.

  • Smart food sensor sniffs out hidden bacteria, harmful chemicals in minutes

    The device is designed to detect unwanted food-borne bacteria including E. coli, listeria and salmonella and it can also detect common herbicides, such as paraquat dichloride and glyphosate, as well as chemicals like antibiotics.

  • AI predicts risk of sudden cardiac death in vulnerable patients

    The model promises to not only save lives but to also spare people from medical interventions that could potentially be unnecessary, such as the implantation of defibrillators.

  • AI test spots heart disease before symptoms emerge

    The tool, dubbed Cardisio, reportedly interprets heart activity via cloud-based AI algorithms in roughly 10 minutes.

  • The humanoid robot landscape of 2025

    The humanoid robot landscape 2025 infographic is a great starting point to explore what’s out there and decide if this technology fits your future plans.

  • Comprehensive training from NORD Drivesystems equips customers for success

    NORD expands its training programs with in-person, online and customized sessions designed to provide customers with in-depth knowledge of its mechanical and electronic drive solutions.

  • Enhanced geothermal system digs deep

    Fervo Energy recently drilled and logged its appraisal well in southwestern Utah to a vertical depth of 15,765 ft in 19 days.

  • A complete guide to dissolved oxygen sensors: From selection to calibration

    Dissolved oxygen is also an important factor in water treatment, environmental monitoring and industrial applications, as it helps detect pollution and ensures suitable conditions for aquatic life and various processes. This makes measuring DO necessary.

  • SwRI advancing fuel cell testing for more efficient hydrogen-powered vehicles

    The performance and efficiency of fuel cell technology in hydrogen-powered vehicles can now be evaluated without the need for test tracks or dynamometers.

  • Why surface finishing matters in medical device and instrument manufacturing

    Discover the benefits of wet blasting for cleaning and preparing medical instruments.
