Researchers have designed a thin plastic membrane that stops rechargeable batteries from discharging when not in use and allows for rapid recharging.The patent-pending technology controls how charge flows inside a battery, and was inspired by how living cell membranes transport proteins in the body. It could find applications in high powered "supercapacitors" for electric cars and even help prevent the kinds of fires that plagued some models of h...

More than a year after its initial take-off, the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft has landed in Abu Dhabi this morning – completing its round-the-world, 25,000 mile journey. The solar powered aircraft first took-off from the UAE in March 2015 and has since landed in 16 different locations including India, China, the US and Spain.

NASA has selected six U.S. companies to help advance the Journey to Mars by developing ground prototypes and concepts for deep space habitats under the second Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP) Broad Agency Announcement, or NextSTEP-2

Rambus have announced that its Cryptography Research Division and The Boeing Company have signed a license agreement for the inclusion of advanced Differential Power Analysis (DPA) countermeasures in Boeing products.

A forum, on machining of composites, to be held at The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing, will be supported by DMG MORI on 21st September.

A simulator of a Chinook helicopter, bringing together VR and an inflatable enclosure, has been conceived to help to support the future training of the UK Armed Forces' Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT). The University of Birmingham's Human Interface Technology (HIT) team designed the high-tech solution to help medical personnel to train for battlefield incidents that require emergency medicine, often administered in the back of the helicopt...

Icon Polymer, a supplier of polymer components to the global aerospace sector, has clinched a major contract with Rolls- Royce’s Civil Aerospace business.

Dwarfed by huge jets all around, the mini-plane Thor was nonetheless an eye-catcher at the Berlin air show—the small Airbus marvel is the world's first 3D-printed aircraft. Windowless, weighing in at just 21 kilos (46 pounds) and less than four metres (13 feet) long, the drone Thor—short for "Test of High-tech Objectives in Reality"—resembles a large, white model airplane.

Dynamatic-Oldland Aerospace is installing a DMG MORI DMC 340 U RS4 Giga Milling Centre in a new purpose built unit at its Swindon facility, the first machine of this type in the private sector in the UK. With a capacity of 3,400 mm in X, 3,400 mm in Y and 2,000 mm in Z this machine has four pallets, is capable of handling workpieces of 16 tons, has a rapid traverse rate of 60m/min and a tool magazine holding 180 tools each of which can weigh up t...
