Flying taxis could even replace short-haul flights, but certification and new digital infrastructure must happen first.

Traceability and Compliance: In an era where transparency and accountability are paramount, metrology will contribute to the traceability of products throughout the supply chain. This is crucial for compliance with regulations and standards, as well as for addressing concerns related to product recalls and safety.

The Future is Metrology!

The manufacturing landscape of 2050 will be shaped by a convergence of technologies that optimize processes, enhance efficiency, and reduce environmental impact. In this transformative journey, metrology emerges as a key enabler, ensuring the precision, reliability, and quality of products in an increasingly complex and interconnected manufacturing ecosystem. As we look towards the future, the role of metrology will continue to evolve, driving innovation and setting new standards for the manufacturing industry.

The compound showed enhanced heat absorption due to quicker evaporation, superior cooling in suppressing TR propagation, and high water content with low conductivity.

Researchers propose ‘dry water’ as the breakthrough solution for extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires, easing global fire department concerns.

NASA ’s lunar mission with Intuitive Machines showcases successful launch, innovative engine testing, and advanced navigation technology for precise lunar exploration.

After a successful launch on February 15, six NASA science instruments and technology demonstrations continue their journey to the Moon aboard Intuitive Machines’ lander named Odysseus. The company confirmed communications contact with its mission operations control in Houston, and its lander continues to perform as expected.

Known as IM-1, Intuitive Machines successfully transmitted its first images back to Earth on February 16. These were captured shortly after separation from SpaceX ’s second stage, on Intuitive Machines’ first journey to the Moon as part of the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services initiative and Artemis campaign.

Einstein scientist Xingxing Zang, Ph.D., has teamed up with Einstein grad, Elizabeth Stoner, M.D.

Albert Einstein College of Medicine researcher Xingxing Zang, Ph.D., latest cancer research and clinical trial.

In an interview with WIRED, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis says the biggest breakthroughs in AI are yet to come—and will take more than just chips.

A team of researchers in Spain has achieved a breakthrough by capturing the world’s first detailed images of a human cell’s ‘highway network’ beginning to emerge.

The high-resolution images and atomic-scale film help explain a longstanding puzzle of how small structures called microtubules form during cell division. The discovery could progress the development of targeted treatments for cancer, and many other conditions.

Scientific research continuously expands our collective knowledge and pushes innovation forward. But what good is that innovation if it isn’t accessible to large swaths of the global population?

English is the standard language for most scientific communication — nearly 98% of scientific research is published in English. While standardizing scientific publications into a single language can streamline discussion, it is incredibly limiting for populations that don’t speak English.

A UCLA-led project aims to alleviate this issue. A collaboration among the UCLA Brain Research Institute, the UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the nonprofit organization Knowing Neurons is translating the informational content on Knowing Neurons’ platform into Spanish. Created by a group of graduate students at UCLA and USC in 2012, Knowing Neurons works to make neuroscience accessible to people interested in learning about the brain.

This article discusses how developers are using calorimetry to inform decision-making surrounding battery design and manufacture, and explores how increasing battery size needs to be supported with larger and more comprehensive testing equipment.
