This year marks the centenary of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES). Set up the year after partial female suffrage in Britain, WES has been championing diversity in engineering, science and technology since its inception on 23 June 1919. Today, women still only make up about 12% of the professional engineering workforce in the UK, a fact that the Women’s Engineering Society wants to change.

The German energy transition plan, known as ‘Energiewende’, has set a target for 80% of the country’s annual electricity needs to be met by renewable energy by 2050. This requires Germany’s transmission service operators (TSOs), such as Amprion, to upgrade their high voltage (HV) power transmission networks to transport electricity generated by wind farms in the north over long distances to the main areas of consumption in...

A delivery system for bacteriophages—viruses that selectively attack harmful bacteria—could help give doctors a new way to battle lung infections that threaten older patients and people with cystic fibrosis.Phage therapy is a promising alternative to antibiotics because it attacks specific pathogens, does not harm the body’s normal contingent of bacteria and won’t contribute to multi-drug resistance.

With an increasing customer demand, and additionally the increased awareness of the threats posed by both indoor and outdoor pollution, Ashtead Technology has added the ‘AreaRAE Steel’ to its fleet of air quality monitors.

The Surrey Business School at the University of Surrey hosted the first in a series of Academy of Management (AoM) Specialised Conferences entitled 'Big Data and Managing in a Digital Economy'.

By combining engineered polymeric materials known as hydrogels with complex intestinal tissue known as organoids – made from human pluripotent stem cells – researchers have taken an important step toward creating a new technology for controlling the growth of these organoids and using them for treating wounds in the gut that can be caused by disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Manufacturer of UV curing equipment for the printing and coating industries, GEW (EC), in October invested in a fleet of 8 new Toyota Auris hybrid cars for its team of service engineers to provide more efficient and environment-friendly transportation.With a total fleet of over 20 vehicles with a high annual mileage to manage the benefits of changing to hybrid vehicles are significant.

Combining a new hydrogel material with a protein that boosts blood vessel growth could improve the success rate for transplanting insulin-producing islet cells into persons with type 1 diabetes. In an animal model, the technique enhanced the survival rate of transplanted insulin-producing cells, restoring insulin production in response to blood glucose levels and curing these diabetic animals.

Specialising in wireless alarms systems for leisure facilities, Raecom Emergency Alarms has some products which are electrical based but other areas include swimming pools and saunas where the wet environment and safety requirements call for alternative alarm technologies to be used.
