Iberdrola positions itself at the forefront of certified and ethical generative AI
Iberdrola is the first multinational company in Spain to certify a global process under the international ISO/IEC 42001 standard through AENOR.
New battery chemistry: No lithium needed
The rechargeable aluminum-ion battery is a cost-effective, non-flammable energy storage technology that uses easily obtainable active materials.
Arburg at Swiss Plastics Expo 2026: New approaches to injection molding
The company will present an electric Allrounder 370 A with Gestica control system that processes "paper pearls,” an alternative material, instead of petroleum-based plastic.
Global dominance of coal appears doomed
The dominance of coal in the global energy economy is due to diminish in the near term, largely driven by shifts in the power sector, which accounts for two-thirds of total current coal consumption.
A water purification system that multitasks
Desalination and water electrolysis are combined to yield purified water as well as hydrogen gas.
District heating with the world’s largest sand battery
An industrial-scale thermal energy storage unit for a district heating network in Finland will deliver 2 MW of thermal output and 250 MWh of storage capacity.
What are small modular reactors, a new type of nuclear power plant sought to feed AI’s energy demand?
These reactors could one day serve small or remote communities, military applications and even ships at sea or spacecraft in addition to powering data centers.
New incremental encoder IERF3 L from FAULHABER
Thanks to the optical measuring principle and state-of-the-art chip technology, the device offers the highest resolution, excellent repeatability and outstanding signal quality.
Help wanted in the global wind workforce
Keeping pace with a wind power fleet forecast to reach 2.1 TW by 2030 underscores the need to prepare a skilled worker fleet in the fields of construction, installation, operations and maintenance.
Igus develops one-piece, space-saving energy chain for compact applications
The one-piece, injection-molded energy chain offers a simplified and more reliable cable management solution for highly compact spaces.
Harvesting energy from the night sky
This Stirling engine generates power from the night sky by exploiting the temperature difference between the cold air and warm ground.
Scaling electric power transmission for high-torque, low-speed applications
Diesel has been the default energy source for heavy equipment longer than most engineers care to remember.
Tritium training simulator for fusion engineers
The virtual simulator represents the world’s first tritium fuel cycle virtual control room.
The nuclear reactor beneath your feet
The aptly named Gravity reactors will be installed one mile underground, exploiting the geological depth as containment to enhance the safety and economics of nuclear power.
Fridges, fragile grids and global warming
As climate change leads to more electricity blackouts and brownouts, the reliability of every day refrigeration is at risk. A new IEC Standard, together with solar innovations in Africa and Asia, demonstrate how cooling can continue when power grids falter.
Putting the heat on battery recycling
The process consumes about half as much energy, 95% fewer chemicals and incurs significantly lower costs compared to existing methods.
New Chip Vac filter bag offers enhanced filtration and improved durability
This purpose-built filter material was specifically engineered for filtration applications and rated to filter particles as small as 30 microns.
Geothermal energy has huge potential to generate clean power — including from used oil and gas wells
Geothermal energy appears poised to become a significant contributor to the energy mix in the U.S. and around the world and could provide as much as 15% of the world’s electricity needs by 2050.
Southco access hardware tackles the challenges of rail modernization
Southco’s engineering innovations are redefining access, safety and reliability in the railway sector.
Material boosts battery and potable water output
The discovery offers a twofold benefit: improved sodium-ion battery performance and increased potable water supply.
