While the nuclear fusion scientific breakthrough is indeed historic, it’s important to pause and reflect on the way ahead for fusion energy.
Dramatic improvements in computing, sensors and submersible engineering are making it possible for researchers to ramp up data collection from the oceans while also keeping people out of harm’s way.
Deep underwater, the Titan submersible would have been crushed in less than a second once a defect cracked the hull.
The costs of the materials is less than one cent per lens.
Many speak fondly of how Barry Dwolatzky took them into a derelict disco and enthusiastically explained the tech co-working space he envisioned there.
Offshore wind turbines are getting bigger and bigger – and many of them now float – here’s how we stop them drifting away.
AI is poised to reshape parts of US culture and society. Have tech developments raced ahead of our ability to understand the consequences?
Scientists used Lego to build a bioprinter capable of printing human tissue samples.
February earthquakes wreaked havoc across Turkey and Syria, killing tens of thousands of people. An engineer originally from Turkey describes what kept some buildings functional while others collapsed.
Superconductors are materials that can transmit electricity without any resistance. Researchers are getting closer to creating superconducting materials that can function in everyday life.
For many millennia, Indigenous Australians have engineered our landscape. From an ochre mine to fish traps, here are five remarkable examples of First Nations technical know-how.
Our lives are intertwined with animals, insects and birds – we should consider them more when we design our cities.
When Monday’s earthquake struck, many poorly constructed buildings suffered a ‘pancake mode’ collapse.
Efforts to launch rockets into space from the UK need to demonstrate reliability.
Polyurethane foams are the world’s sixth-most-produced plastic yet among the least recycled materials.
Humans often look to nature for the solutions to complex problems – here are five times where biological processes have inspired innovation.
There simply aren’t enough water engineers in New Zealand for the massive Three Waters projects. Matching capacity with forward planning is an urgent issue the government must address.
A US national lab has proved we can the fusion process can be used to produce energy, but it’s just the first step in a very long process.
Engineers say the current ‘iron ring’ ritual is steeped in colonial worldviews and excludes the public from understanding engineers’ ethical obligations.
