In this video, new National Engineering Policy Center analysis reveals how recycling rare-earth magnets from decommissioned British wind turbines can secure global supply chains, prevent severe environmental damage, and provide critical minerals to manufacture one million electric vehicles annually.

Explore the latest innovations in physical AI and industrial automation at Hannover Messe 2026, showcasing advancements in collaborative robotics, intelligent warehouse solutions, and digital twin technology, creating smarter, more efficient factory environments.

A look at how Nitinol is enabling adaptive structures and mechanisms in NASA’s next-generation Mars exploration hardware.

In this video a bronze cast hangonne, also known as a hand cannon, is examined destructively. A cut is made through the handgonne and the section is ground and polished. Prior to examination it is etched with an alcoholic ferric chloride solution to make the grain structure visible. The handgonne was cast experimentally and is […]

In this video, see the Dragonfly G5—Onto Innovation’s advanced 2D/3D macro defect inspection system delivering high sensitivity, fast imaging, and AI-powered defect detection for semiconductor manufacturing.

In microgravity environments, liquids behave differently, crystal structures can form more uniformly and impurities do not settle in the same way they do under Earth’s gravity. These changes may allow scientists and aerospace engineers to manufacture certain materials with properties that are difficult to achieve in conventional factories.

A detailed explanation of how Nitinol’s crystal structure produces both the shape memory effect and superelasticity, covering martensite-austenite phase transformations and the role of twinning in this remarkable alloy.

Watch the crew of Artemis II take off for their voyage around the moon.

A comprehensive deep dive into the metallurgy behind steel heat treatment, covering phase diagrams, microstructural transformations, and how precise heating and cooling control material properties.

In this video, see the MobED from Hyundai’s Robotics Lab, a new concept mobile robot with “Freedom of Movement,” unrestricted by purpose or environmental conditions.
