    The silicon-based materials developer will test the world’s first carbon capture pilot for silicon smelters at its plant in Rana, Norway.

  • Servo motor updated to meet stringent hygienic requirements

    Baumüller revised its servo motor series for aggressive environments and for industries with very high demands on hygiene, cleanliness and corrosion protection.

  • Cable tracking platform improves cost and material efficiencies

    The cloud-based platform delivers accurate, real-time data to track the supply, logistics and installation of electric cables.

  • NASA asks young engineers to design a Moon mission robot

    Aspiring engineers are invited to design a robot that digs through lunar soil and enter their submissions in the Lunabotics Junior Contest.

  • Video: UK Hot Robotics sites to support nuclear research

    Hot Robotics facilities will provide robotics, drones and testing spaces for nuclear research.

  • Drone inspection for oil and gas

    Petroleum, natural gas and chemical manufacturing plants have been quickly adopting a new inspection technique: drones. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have multiple advantages over manual inspection techniques.

  • Video: Smarter farming with drones

    Learn how using drones and artificial intelligence can improve agricultural business operations.

  • Small robot hand delicate enough to handle snail eggs

    Robot hand shows promise for future healthcare applications.

  • Keyless shaft locking bushings feature new hydraulic quick connectors

    The bushing provides a robust hub-shaft connection in the most challenging operating environments while providing high torque and high radial load capacity.

  • Compact, low-noise gearboxes for high loads

    These gearboxes are up to 10 dB quieter than conventional, straight-geared metal gearboxes.

  • Advanced septic nitrogen sensor is successfully field tested

    The device provides real-time information on the amount of nitrogen in wastewater.

  • Embed confidence into your machine

    The Pressure Mapping Software Development Kit (SDK) provides access to Tekscan’s software API to integrate interface pressure mapping technology into your machine’s UI.

  • Video: Maritime companies join forces to automate MOB rescues

    The unmanned vessels could cut rescue times significantly.

  • Autonomous Directional Drilling introduced by Schlumberger

    Downhole automation encourages new levels of well construction performance while reducing emissions.

  • Video: Data-driven testing gives startups ability to fail and succeed faster

    Startups that use a series of randomized controlled trials to test options for product features are more successful, on average, than those that don’t.

  • Oriental Motor expands PKP stepper motor series

    The center shaft spur gear features increased torque and a larger shaft for greater radial load but without a larger frame size.

  • Digital innovations in water utility management

    Since the water industry is suffering from a shortage of experienced workers, an AI network of knowledge may be the solution to ensuring problems are addressed as quickly as possible.

  • HBK launches new LDS shaker system

    By introducing flexibility with different test scenarios while also maintaining many alternative energy-saving options, overall performance costs drop significantly.

  • NBK's new series: Auto-positioning units dramatically improve setup work

    NBK added new models of auto-positioning units: EPU-series and it is controlled with EtherNet/IP and Modbus RTU, not only CC-LinkTM.
