"Our aim is to achieve a high level of maturity of CNC machines with our additive manufacturing machines," explains Dr. Vino Suntharakumaran, Managing Director at DMG MORI Additive GmbH. The company is not far off reaching this aim with the LASERTEC 30 DUAL SLM, which increases productivity by 80%. Festo has been brought on board as a development partner. Thanks to its ready-to-install automation solution, the inert gas atmosphere is precisely managed.
Throughout the brain’s cortex, neurons are arranged in six distinctive layers, which can be readily seen with a microscope. A team of MIT and Vanderbilt University neuroscientists has now found that these layers also show distinct patterns of electrical activity, which are consistent over many brain regions and across several animal species, including humans.
Many electric vehicles are powered by batteries that contain cobalt — a metal that carries high financial, environmental, and social costs.
MIT researchers have now designed a battery material that could offer a more sustainable way to power electric cars. The new lithium-ion battery includes a cathode based on organic materials, instead of cobalt or nickel (another metal often used in lithium-ion batteries).
To align its business activities even more closely with the markets served, international technology group ANDRITZ has combined several of its environmental and energy-focused technologies in one business area named “Environment & Energy”.
ANDRITZ Environment & Energy focuses on sustainable solutions. Its comprehensive product portfolio includes systems for green hydrogen, P2X, carbon capture, flue gas cleaning, solid/liquid separation, feed and food processing, and pumps for various processes.

The rumors have been out there for a while now, percolating through respectable corners of the astronomy and astrobiological community, that the James Webb Space Telescope has found a planet with strong evidence of life.
A Japanese startup called EX-Fusion has announced a bold new plan to take out space junk: shooting the stuff down with laser beams, Nikkei Asia reports. The experimental technology could be one of many potential methods to tackle the daunting task of cleaning up our planet's cluttered orbit.
Industry groups representing automakers and suppliers are urging Congress to restore a federal tax break that would allow for the "full and immediate" expensing of domestic R&D investments.
In a letter sent Wednesday to House and Senate leadership, five trade associations, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, American Automotive Policy Council, Autos Drive America, MEMA and the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association — argue it is critical for Congress to "act as soon as possible" to restore full R&D expensing, which expired in 2021.<
