Read MoreA Historic Journey: Shattering Expectations for Sustainable Transportation The Swiss-made hydrogen-powered train has made history by setting a new world record for nonstop travel, showcasing a remarkable leap in sustainable transportation. Developed by Stadler, the FLIRT H2 traversed an impressive 1,741 miles (2,803 kilometers) on a single tank of hydrogen during a rigorous 46-hour test […]
Read MoreSteel is perhaps the most versatile material used to build everything around us, from buildings and bridges to cars and aircraft. Depending on the application and manufacturing process, steel comes in various forms. Two of the fundamental forms are billets and bars, which are refined and ready-to-use forms of steel tailored for production purposes. At […]
Read MoreIndustrial waste is one of those problems most enterprises don’t really talk about. Not only are hundreds of millions of metric tons of waste generated every year but it is also hard to get rid of it. But what if most of this waste could be used to build new machinery, structures, and products? This […]
Read MoreStainless steel is an integral part of many industries thanks to its unique combination of strength and oxidation resistance. The medical field, in particular, uses different stainless-steel alloys for various specialized instruments, implants, surgical tools, and other applications. The main reason stainless steel is so important in the medical industry is its inertness. Stainless steel […]
Read MoreThe Chinese T-Flight vacuum-tube maglev train from China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) achieved the fastest speed for a superconducting maglev vehicle by exceeding its own previous record of 623 kph (387 mph). Furthermore, the target speed is set to reach at least 1,000 kph (621 mph). The exact speed reached on the latest […]
Read MoreTubes are an integral part of the modern world and are present in almost every industry. They are used mainly for transferring pressurized or unpressurized fluids (liquid and gas) but also for structural purposes. As such, tubes find use in various industries, including construction, aircraft, oil, gas, petrochemical, automotive, chemical, water treatment, sanitary systems, medical, […]
Read MoreThe Joint European Torus (JET), the UK’s 40-year-old fusion reactor, has been a cornerstone of fusion energy research since its inception in 1983, boasting unparalleled achievements in the field. It briefly became the hottest point in the solar system, reaching temperatures of 150 million°C. Setting New Records: JET’s Remarkable Achievements in Fusion Energy Scientists have […]
Read MoreAs a result of a partnership between Goodyear and Gatik, intelligent tyres will be installed on a fleet of autonomous delivery trucks in the U.S. and Canada. The goal is to increase safety and efficiency with Goodyear’s Endurance RSA tyres and SightLine technology. Hence, the tyre health and road condition data will be collected, helping […]
Read MoreThe mobility industry stands before its biggest obstacle yet: creating a sustainable, CO2-free transport for people and goods. The race has been on for some time, and various companies have different solutions to make our long-desired reality. From battery-electric road-going vehicles to hybrid airplanes, the mobility landscape of the future looks vastly different from the […]
Read MoreImage source by Air Burners. In a collaboration between Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce (the power production company), the company Air Burners developed the BioCharger, an off-grid EV charger. In a closed-loop system, BioCharger burns wood, from which heat is then converted into electric energy and stored in a Battery Storage Module (BSM). Hence, the stored […]
