    The NTNU team has now devised a way to use spent grain for other applications, such as an alternative to animal protein.

  • Mechanical seal enhances ethane pipeline performance

    The seal leverages spiral groove non-contacting technology to deliver exceptional reliability, operational efficiency and environmental compliance.

  • meviy enhances heat treatment capabilities with faster lead times and higher precision

    The enhanced treatment enables engineers and manufacturers to achieve high-performance parts more efficiently, particularly in applications that demand exceptional wear resistance and hardness.

  • 3D-printed tissue featuring fluid channels mimics real organs for surgical training

    Researchers have developed a new 3D-printing method for creating realistic human tissue structures that could one day be used in the making of human models to train surgeons and doctors.

  • Engineering the hydrogen pipeline pathway

    The potential to use existing natural gas pipeline infrastructure to safely transport hydrogen is being evaluated by U.K. gas operator SGN.

  • Smart glasses monitor health through blinking

    The team believes that the device could potentially pave the way for assessing fatigue, mental workload and eye-related health issues in real-world settings, such as long-haul trucking or in the office.

  • Artificial muscle switches from soft to rigid to support 4,000 times its own weight

    This transition — much like rubber transforming into steel — occurs when the artificial muscle contracts and becomes capable of lifting many times its own weight.

  • Closing the EV battery circular economy

    Cathode materials from end-of-life electric vehicle (EV) batteries are recovered and recycled with this new process.

  • Guide to troubleshooting in pH labs: Common issues and solutions

    Troubleshooting in a lab environment requires a structured approach focusing on these key factors.

  • Can CCS decarbonize offshore oil and gas?

    Review the importance of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology for offshore operations and how to overcome technical hurdles associated with its implementation.

  • Colorful series of lectures: From charcoal burner to “floating professor”

    Expert lectures at K 2025 cover sustainability topics ranging from plastics recycling to the use of environmentally friendly e-fuels in motorsport.

  • New drug-delivery cartilage material shows promise for arthritis treatment

    The team suggests that this development could pave the way for longer-lasting, targeted arthritis treatments that automatically respond to flare-ups, sensing when something within the body is wrong and delivering treatment precisely where it is needed.

  • Shielding pressure instruments against corrosive damage

    This article examines the various forms of corrosion, the factors that contribute to corrosive environments and the importance of selecting compatible materials for process instrumentation.

  • Oyster-inspired adhesive bonds broken bones, potentially replacing metal implants

    The medical adhesive, dubbed “Bone-02,” is designed to repair broken bones quickly and without the need for metal plates, screws or major surgeries.

  • Misalignment matters: Bushing and sleeve sizing for real machines

    When static theory meets the messy and unpredictable reality of the shop floor, they correct their sizing practices in real-time, adapting to project variables as needed.

  • Scientists created bone substitute from 3D-printed glass

    During trials conducted in rabbits, the material sustained bone cell growth outperforming both regular glass and a commercially available bone substitute.

  • Chem-Trend surpasses key 2025 goals and continues commitment to PFAS-free portfolio in new Responsibility Report

    Achievements in environmental stewardship, including meeting ambitious sustainability goals and continued commitment to providing a portfolio free of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are documented.

  • UV light neutralizes airborne allergens in 30 minutes

    Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder suggest that ultraviolet (UV) light can neutralize airborne allergens in just 30 minutes.

  • New biosensor tracks airborne viruses in real-time

    The developers of the biosensor suggest that there is a host of possible applications for the technology such as detecting bacteria in hospitals, schools and on public transportation.

  • Unpacking Europe's hydrogen blending plan

    In the short term, blending hydrogen into existing natural gas systems looks like a pragmatic solution.
