    Bursts of plasma convert methane into methanol without the high heat and pressures required in current industrial processes.

  • Empowering engineers with greater design flexibility and integrated steam system performance

    These advanced fuel safety shut-off valve solutions were presented by Emerson at the 2026 American Boiler Manufacturers Association (ABMA) BOILER Expo.

  • Waste plastic to fuel future flights

    A new facility will consume some of the 5 million tons/year of waste plastics generated in the U.K. alone and yield an ecologically sound aviation fuel.

  • A smart solution for well completion

    A micro-proppant derived from coal combustion byproducts offers an economical tool to enhance the efficiency of oil and gas well completions.

  • OKW’s smart new COMMUNITEC desktop/portable enclosures for large-format electronics

    These portable enclosures are ideal for medical equipment, laboratory instrumentation, test and measurement, automation, fault analysis and quality control.

  • Sulfur polymer eliminates harmful fungi and bacteria while leaving human and plant cells unharmed

    The antimicrobial solution is a sulfur-rich polymer material that is potent against a variety of fungal and bacterial pathogens.

  • Teabags brew arsenic-free water

    Devices composed of cellulose, embedded with magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and filled with pulverized eggshells target arsenic in water.

  • ULVAC establishes Japan-based production for rare Earth magnet vacuum melting furnaces

    To keep pace with orders for its continuous vacuum melting furnaces dedicated to rare Earth magnets, ULVAC has decided to establish a new production system for these furnaces in Japan.

  • Lifelike “bleeding” dummy hearts help train surgeons for trauma emergencies

    These realistic model torsos have been developed for trainee surgeons to practice locating and stopping catastrophic bleeds from the chest, thereby saving people's lives.

  • How sewage treatment plants could handle food waste, sparing landfills and the climate

    Sending such waste to wastewater treatment facilities instead of landfills can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while capturing biogas and organic matter for reuse.

  • Keysight adds assembly simulation to virtual manufacturing portfolio

    The solution lets engineers validate processes virtually without requiring finite element modeling expertise.

  • New ATEX EasySwitch Wet-Dry Vac for industrial cleanup in explosive environments

    Featuring a static-dissipative design and proper grounding, the system helps prevent dangerous electrostatic buildup that could lead to ignition.

  • Arburg at Plastpol 2026: Allrounder Trend to be seen in Poland for the first time

    On display: an Allrounder 1800 e Trend with a Multilift Select -- a linear robot system that produces spatulas -- and the automated hybrid Allrounder 470 H producing drinking cups.

  • AI robots in industrial automation

    Technologies such as machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, deep learning and the latest innovations in reasoning models are enabling robots to become more autonomous and intelligent

  • Very much in demand in Asia: Premiere of Allrounder Trend and complete solutions

    The Asian premiere of the Allrounder Trend electric standard machines caused quite a stir, as did the new Gestica lite basic control system.

  • FACT surface technology for the environment: An adhesive bonding process without wet-chemicals

    With this high-performance process, the surfaces of components can be permanently modified at the microscopic level without the use of solvents or binders.

  • Meet the TracStar 28

    The machine can handle the needs of smaller, 2-inch iron pipe size (IPS) to 8-inch ductile IPS (63 mm to 225 mm) pipe fusion projects.

  • Green hydrogen from solar power: Electrolysis at industrial scale

    Green hydrogen is made by splitting water using renewable electricity, as opposed to traditional hydrogen derived from steam methane reforming, which releases a lot of carbon dioxide.

  • Arburg at Equiplast 2026: Complete solutions for the Iberian market

    The highlight will be the new electric Allrounder Trend, featuring the equally new Gestica lite control system, which produces LSR injection molded parts automatically.

  • Lenze at Interpack: Compact motion control solutions for future ready packaging

    Discover how the combination of in-depth application expertise and powerful servo and drive technology enables precise, energy efficient and cost-effective solutions for every machine architecture.
