Read MoreNecessity is the mother of invention, and humanity is in a necessity for various things that workers can’t provide. We need safer stores (online?), shelves full of goods, contact-less delivery of products, ventilators, cooked food, etc. Whereas many retail stores and production lines are struggling to keep up with the demand, we are bound to […]
Read MoreWhen the COVID-19 pandemic is over, the world that we will return to will be nothing like the one we were used to living in. One of the industries that are currently taking the most damage, and at the same time is expected to change fundamentally in the post-coronavirus age, is aviation. There’s a lot […]
Read MoreSince the primary symptoms of a COVID-19 infection are respiratory problems, artificial breathing ventilators are in high demand right now. We simply didn’t expect a pandemic of this scale, never anticipated that we would need to have more ventilators than what is currently deployed in medical centers, so we’re now running like crazy to address […]
Read MoreEngineers have been trying to develop durable flexible electronics for quite some time now, envisioning numerous applications concerning wearables and “smart clothing”. The team that is close to cutting the ribbon first is a group of researchers from the MIT and University of Wisconsin, in the United States. The same team of engineers has been […]
Read MoreIsinnova, an Italian 3D printing start-up has responded to the plead of emergency units for ventilator valves. They printed out spare parts and supplied the Chiari hospital in Brescia that was dealing with an overwhelming number of patients at the time. As a result of this timely help coming from a high-tech company, tens of patients who […]
Read MoreWhen you talk about the new aerospace composite parts, engineers usually put layers of carbon composite woven over one another, and they bake this with pressure in a vacuum to create layers as one light and the robust aerospace composite part. These techniques have been around for many years now, and MIT researchers are trying […]
Read MoreConventional steelmaking using electric-arc furnaces and decarburization is still very common. However, the internal structure of the cast ingots made with this process isn’t uniform, which negatively affects the qualities of the steel. Sure, a hot method can be used on the ingots to break up the segregated structure, but the structure still won’t be […]
Read MoreMetal extrusion is a process used to create longer objects with a fixed profile by pushing a cylindrical billet inside a closed cavity. The end product is called an extrudate and can have several desired characteristics and qualities. The metal extrusion process was patented by Joseph Bramah and is regularly used to create parts from […]
Read MoreHonda is a manufacturer that just a few years ago claimed that battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) still weren’t ready for the market. The company mainly focused on hybrids and hydrogen-electric vehicles (HEVs). However, in the wake of the rising popularity of BEVs, Honda decided to give its own take on the matter. The Honda E is […]
Read MoreThe Google Glass AR glasses introduced us to a future where digital objects will merge with our environments. With these glasses, people were able to see navigation directions directly on the world in front of them, or even read the news while walking around. The technology didn’t catch up with the audience, but the main […]
Read MoreMonash University researchers have revolutionized batteries by making them more durable and sustainable. These researchers have developed the world’s most efficient lithium-sulphur battery. They claim it can power a phone for five continuous days. It can allow an electric vehicle to travel more than 1,000km without any need to recharge. The researchers replaced lithium-ion batteries […]
Read MorePeople seem to be scared of the idea of Cyborgs. Enhancing our bodies with technology makes us ask some existential questions and cringe at the thought. That said, some argue that we are already doing that. Our smartphones are almost always in our hands, helping in various ways. You can navigate with your smartphone, pay […]
Read MorePipe Schedule (SCH) is a standard that measures the nominal wall thickness of a pipe, given by the ANSI / ASME B36.10M standard for Stainless Steel Pipe dimensions, and API 5L standard for seamless and welded steel pipes. The pipe schedule number is non-dimensional and depends on the nominal pipe size, internal pipe working pressure, […]
Read MoreIn a big breakthrough, researchers from the University of Houston have developed a device that can both efficiently capture solar energy and store it until it is needed. This innovative device can be used for a wide range of applications ranging from power generation to distillation and desalination. This revolutionary device is described as a […]
Read MoreScrap metal is unavoidable in any manufacturing process, but it is also a costly part of it. Sure, most scrap metal is recyclable, but to make it into a new piece, the factory needs to invest in more labor time and an entirely new manufacturing process. Reducing scrap metal is crucial for creating a lean […]
Read MoreYou’ve probably encountered the abbreviation NPS previously on our or similar websites. It means “Nominal Pipe Size,” and it is the North American standard for measuring pipe sizes used for various pressures and temperatures. The NPS standard is widely accepted in the USA, but some things have to be observed correctly in order to find […]
Read MoreThe UK government has decided that the risk of gas fracking is too unpredictable to accept any more, and so they have announced the ban of the controversial well stimulation technique. Officially, the decision was based on the findings of a report by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA). The report concludes that it is […]
