Boring can be a frustrating and expensive process especially when you encounter rocks that can destroy your equipment. Powered by machine vision, a new tunnelling or drilling robot can micro tunnel through the toughest conditions faster and more reliably than conventional methods. According to the company, its next-gen drilling robot can bore through rock considered too challenging for other tunnelling machines.

Biomimicry, also known as biologically inspired engineering, involves the study and imitation of nature to help solve human challenges. The aviation sector is filled with examples of biomimicry which have provided engineers with invaluable insights from the flight of birds to the movement of sharks.
As a result of carefully studying the movement of animals, we have been able to make aircraft lighter and more fuel-efficient. Few projects, though, look as close to the real thing as the Macrobat, a new bird-shaped air taxi that can take off with a nearly vertical trajectory.

If your business is involved in any form of manufacturing structural steelwork products, then you should be aware of BS EN 1090-1 CE Marking. Without this certification, you cannot legally run a steel manufacturing business as all products within the scope of this standard must be CE Marked when released to the market.
This harmonised European standard covering fabricated structural steelwork came into effect on 1 July 2014. BS EN 1090-1 involves the requirements for assessing and verifying product or service conformity in executing any steel and aluminium structures details.

Limitless clean energy has been a concept in development for what seems to be an eternity with little success. In recent weeks, we looked at portable nuclear micro-reactors and the UK’s plans to build nuclear fusion plants. Now, we are even closer to limitless clean energy as the Korea Institute of Fusion Energy has set an astonishing new record using the tokamak reactor.
