High-precision actuation solution for multiport valves

by editorial in Engineering, Engineering News, Production/Processing

AUMA actuators for multiport valves in hydrocarbon service support up to 16 ports with a combination of high speed and excellent precision, thanks to their variable speed motors. Positioning accuracy is better than 0.3° and lift plug valves are also supported, making the actuators suitable for the most challenging applications in this market. Multiport valves […]

Multi-screw pump portfolio expands

by editorial in Engineering, Engineering News, Production/Processing

An application in media delivery can often be handled by using different pump types. However, optimum results and material-preserving transport require exact matching of the pump to the different parameters such as viscosity, temperature, NPSH value or shear sensitivity. Netzsch Pumps & Systems has therefore widened its portfolio of progressing cavity pumps and rotary lobe […]

Researchers Discover What Could Be a New Substrate for Building “Topological” Qubits

by jeff hecht in Engineering, Engineering News, Semiconductors

Illustration: Ester Dalvit The logic gates in a future topological quantum computer would be based on the spacetime braids of two-dimensional quasiparticles called anyons as they move around. Mathematicians have done considerable work on braids, which are depicted abstractly here. It’s not yet possible to build a general-purpose quantum computer with enough quantum bits (qubits) […]

Unique Carbon Allotrope Offers Path to Neuromorphic Computing

by jeff hecht in Engineering, Engineering News, Semiconductors

For the first time, scientists have successfully isolated and characterized a unique carbon allotrope that they expect will lead to the creation of entirely new types of materials. Carbon is one of the elements on the periodic table that can take many structural forms and still remain carbon. These different forms of carbon are known as […]

Soft Exosuit Makes Walking and Running Easier Than Ever

by evan ackerman in Engineering, Engineering News, Robotics

Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute have been testing a flexible, lightweight exosuit that can improve your metabolic efficiency by 4 to 10 percent while walking and running. This is very important because, according to a press release from Harvard, the suit can help you be faster and more efficient, whether you’re “walking at a leisurely pace,” or “running for […]
