The Mill 4 indexable milling cutters line from Kennametal is gaining an important new member. Adding a cutting tool designed for smaller machining centres, the Mill 4-11 offers the free cutting action of a single-sided insert at the low cost per edge of a double-sided.

ESA’s historic Rosetta mission has concluded as planned, with the controlled impact onto the comet it had been investigating for more than two years.Confirmation of the end of the mission arrived at ESA’s control centre in Darmstadt, Germany at 11:19 GMT (13:19 CEST) with the loss of Rosetta’s signal upon impact.

In 2020, NASA plans to launch a new Mars rover that will be tasked with probing a region of the planet scientists believe could hold remnants of ancient microbial life. The rover will collect samples of rocks and soil, and store them on the Martian surface; the samples would be returned to Earth sometime in the distant future so that scientists can meticulously analyse the samples for signs of present or former extraterrestrial life.

Imagine you’re driving a two-ton SUV that’s travelling 70mph on the highway when suddenly, beyond your control, the air-conditioner fan starts blasting, the radio blares, windshield wipers whoosh back-and-forth and then the engine shuts down just as you approach a steep incline.

Imagine a doctor trying to perform a life saving medical procedure in the middle of the wilderness.
