Swedish contamination control startup DREV has raised €2.8 million to expand its Vault product line for capturing and reusing critical metals from battery manufacturing. The funding comes as Europe ramps up gigafactory compliance with new sustainability regulations. DREV’s technology addresses the o
The fossil energy sector is shifting from centralized automation to field-orchestrated autonomy, where certified mobile platforms act as intelligent orchestration agents. This approach enables devices to form temporary decision-making groups and respond to complex conditions while maintaining regula
EPC has launched the EPC91120, a high-performance 3-phase brushless DC motor drive inverter optimized for humanoid robot joints. The compact 32mm-diameter board delivers up to 21A peak current and achieves over 80% system efficiency.
Apple is developing its first budget MacBook priced below $1,000 for 2026. The device will use an iPhone-class processor that reportedly outperforms the M1 chip. This marks Apple’s first direct challenge to Chromebooks and entry-level Windows PCs.
MACOM Technology Solutions has secured an exclusive license to manufacture products based on HRL Laboratories’ proprietary 40nm T3L gallium nitride-on-silicon carbide process. The technology was matured under Department of Defense programs including STARRY NITE and DREAM. This gives MACOM exclusive
The manufacturing industry is embracing what’s being called the AI Productivity Cycle. This framework promises to connect data silos and enable rapid decision-making. The question is whether reality will match the ambitious vision.
IBM is cutting a “low single-digit percentage” of its global workforce in the fourth quarter. The company employed 270,000 people at the end of 2024, meaning even a 1% cut would eliminate 2,700 jobs.
Researchers have created molecules that can actively control light energy amplification through simple pressure changes. This breakthrough in singlet fission technology could lead to highly efficient energy devices and advanced medical treatments. The flexible molecular design allows external contro
The Netherlands took control of Chinese-owned chipmaker Nexperia in late September, citing national security concerns. China responded by blocking chip exports from Nexperia’s Dongguan plant, though exports have since resumed.
ASTM International’s additive manufacturing committee is creating a standard to assess the weakest point in 3D printed parts. The proposed test method aims to provide repeatable measurements of inter-layer weld strength. This could help designers and quality teams optimize printing processes.
