The client requested an article in the Electric Vehicle sector, and we eventually settled on an article centered around new battery technology that was being developed.
Introduction to metal 3D printing including definitions of the various existing metal 3D printing processes New SLEDM process which uses LEDs instead of lasers, where this technology has developed and why it is better than existing methods

Colonizing Mars seems to be a common goal of many aerospace engineers and scientists alike these days (shout out Elon Musk), and one physicist may have just devised a way to take us there. Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) Principal Research Physicist (try saying that five times fast!) Fatima Ebrahimi has developed a new kind of rocket thruster that takes advantage of the science behind solar flares.

Electrical slip rings allow for the transmission of electricity from a part or device that is stationary to one that is rotary. They replace cables as the electrical connection between these parts and are ubiquitous in machinery that requires power, signal and data connectivity. This type of technology is used in the robotics, plastics, automation, oil and gas, wind energy, and industrial fields to name just a few.

Prescriptive analytics is a relatively new field of data science that uses predictive modeling and machine learning to provide actionable advice. In other words, it can tell you what to do to achieve the desired outcome. This makes it an incredibly powerful tool for businesses looking to optimize their operations and maximize profits. In this article, we’ll explore the basics of prescriptive analytics and discuss how it can be used to improve your business.

New research has created a new electronic artificial skin that can react to pain in the same way that real skin can. This could be a huge development for improving prosthetics, using alternatives to skin grafts, and for building smarter robots.
Waterproof and flexible sensors are touted as those that can bring about new applications for electronics that are wearable. Pressure sensors have been analyzed and identified as the method of controlling mobile devices such as phones, in order to play music or take photos, even when the device is completely under water. This could change the way that wearable electronics can be used, especially in smart textiles, healthcare and other applications like scuba diving equipment.
