DOE offers funding for innovative oil and gas technologies
Selected projects will fall under two DOE Office of Fossil Energy funding opportunity announcements.
Ford invests $500 million in EV startup
Rivian's launch products include a five-passenger pickup and a seven-passenger SUV due out in 2020.
What are food-grade bearings?
Nobody wants to bite into their glazed donut to find out what looks like frosting is actually mixed with bearing grease. Bearings in food and drug processing are subject to extreme environments and manufacturers go to great lengths to ensure that this cannot happen.
Free-wheeling ball screws eliminate jamming
Free-wheeling ball screws offer an alternative to traditional ball screws with soft stops or limit switches.

Hitachi will enter the robotic system integrator business in North America, a region that the company said is expected to see a high rate of growth.
Nanotech innovation could make previously unweldable alloys weldable
According to an article published Jan. 9 in the journal Nature Communications, researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) employed nanotechnology to achieve a crack-free arc weld of 7075 aluminum alloy.
Welding and joining dissimilar metals: Part 1
A variety of factors must be considered when joining dissimilar metals.
Report: High school girls have lower grades, less higher learning if overly exposed to high-achieving boys
The authors suggest that the reason for the effect is likely a lack of confidence.
Beresheet 2 will continue its namesake’s mission
SpaceIL, the nonprofit organization that designed, built and managed Beresheet's mission, announced plans to try again with Beresheet 2.
Machine tool cybersecurity: Preventing IIoT vulnerabilities
As with many good things, the IIoT has a downside: connected devices are vulnerable to hacking attempts.

Presentations at the conference will focus on four transformative technologies: additive manufacturing, augmented reality, cognitive automation and the digital thread.
Discover the power of press-and-sinter powder metallurgy
The automotive industry is the dominant market sector for conventional powder metallurgy (PM) components; however, PM has been recognized and used across the consumer marketplace. Learn the value of PM.
Laser-based metal additive manufacturing technology from Mitsubishi
Laser beams emitted through dual nozzles pass through surrounding metal powder, causing the powder to fuse at a focal point.
JMPP's high-torque retention knobs solve toolholder expansion challenges
This expansion creates a bulge in the holder at the small end, causing the holder to make contact with the small end instead of the large end.
20 years after Columbine, work continues to engineer safer schools
Twenty years after the Columbine High School shootings, standards are being written to help engineers design safer schools and better enable affected communities to recover and heal. "There’s now enough fire in the belly to get it done,” one official said.
Hydra-Cell revolutionizes linear flow metering
If accuracy is the goal of metering pumps, why settle for pulsing flow?
First heart is 3D printed with patient's own cells
Cardiac structures have been previously 3D printed, and now scientists have 3D printed a heart containing blood vessels, cells and chambers, using patients’ own biological material.
