Researchers at Melbourne University have found that a specially engineered steel surface allows liquids to boil without bubbling — a development that could lead to safer industrial processes.

Decision-makers in the AEC industry must acknowledge the value of immersive technology and be ready to embrace the opportunity, says Dave Rhodes, senior vice president Digital Twins at Unity.

Four suppliers have been appointed by Network Rail to deliver a £2bn programme to electrify more than two thousand miles of Britain’s railway over the next seven years. 

The EPSRC has awarded an £80K grant for Aston University scientists to develop a mathematical model to improve liquid metal casting.

DARPA has awarded researchers $22m to develop ‘smart’ technology that combines artificial intelligence, bioelectronics and regenerative medicine to regrow muscle tissue for wounded soldiers.

Researchers claim to have solved a long-standing problem in materials science, a development that makes it possible to create new semiconductor devices using zinc oxide (ZnO).

A ‘nano-petri dish’ developed at Manchester University is providing scientists with footage of atomic scale interactions, an advance that could help in the development of green technologies.

A device that helps to control tics experienced by people with Tourettes could also help to reduce tremor in people with Parkinson’s Disease.
