Additive manufacturing (AM) machinery has advanced over time, however, the necessary software for new machines often lags behind. To help mitigate this issue, Penn State researchers designed an automated process planning software to save money, time and design resources. Newer, five-axis machines are designed to move linearly along an x, y

When English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge wrote the above lines, he was describing the plight of a sailor stranded at sea—unfortunately, his prescient words are fast becoming applicable to the North American water supply infrastructure. In the United States, about 151.4 billion L (40 billion gal) of water is treated

Fiber optic sensors—used in critical applications like detecting fires in tunnels, pinpointing leaks in pipelines and predicting landslides—are about to get even faster and more accurate. EPFL engineers have developed an advanced encoding and decoding system that allows fiber optic sensors to send data up to 100 times faster and over

Before embarking upon the journey of why corrosion protection for steel is crucial, let`s us first understand what corrosion is and why it occurs. In simple words, corrosion means deterioration of metal due to chemical reactions occurring on the metal surface. The foremost reasons are moisture and other corroding agents

Metals such as iron and calcium play a crucial role inside the human body, so it's no surprise that bioengineers would like to integrate them into the soft, stretchy materials used to repair skin, blood vessels, lungs and other tissue. Designing elastomers -- a type of polymer with rubber-like properties --

Reliant on on-site personnel and complex, global supply chains – as well as the continuation of their customers’ operations – the pandemic was much more disruptive on heavy, traditional industries than in many other sectors. But for those that had digitized back-end processes, the impact was much less destructive. Take Tata

The Federal Government has said that the $1.5bn steel plant that is nearing completion in Kaduna State will attract automobile industries to Nigeria when completed. The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, disclosed this during an inspection tour of the African Natural Resources and Mines, an African Industries

Electronic waste could get recycled into strong, protective coatings for steel, a new study finds. Recycling typically converts large quantities of items made of a single material, such as aluminum cans or glass bottles, into more of the same. However, this approach is not feasible for complex garbage such as electronic

In the space of just a few years, virtual servers have changed the face of application deployment, and now power the vast majority of what we refer to as the cloud. Virtualized machines provide amazing value for money compared to bare-metal servers, and they come with more efficient utilization of finite
