The launch of Trimble SketchUp Pro Civil Contractor looks, on the surface, like a new edition of a familiar modelling package aimed at a fresh audience. The more conseque...
For most of the history of earthmoving, the haul road has been treated as something between the machines and the money: necessary, obvious and largely ignored until it fa...
The most revealing thing about the expanded partnership between Interlune and Vermeer is not that a lunar excavator exists. It is that a mainstream industrial-equipment m...
The inaugural World Quantum Cannes Festival, staged at the Palais des Festivals on 17 and 18 November 2026, is being positioned as something more deliberate than another...
A Canadian company that spent the better part of a decade reinventing itself from a patent-licensing shell into a focused roads-technology operator is now attempting the...
A review paper that appeared in Machine Intelligence Researchย reads, on the surface, like a technical audit of how vision-language models can be fooled. Its commercial si...
A cluster of research results published in the first half of 2026 has quietly moved membrane-based crude oil separation out of the materials-science laboratory and toward...
When Oak Ridge National Laboratory and General Motors confirmed that a pair of advanced aluminium alloys had cleared the strength and durability thresholds of a new mediu...
Wildfire detection has spent decades as a by-product of general Earth observation, something inferred from weather satellites and land-imaging missions that happened to c...
For more than two decades Mobileye has made its money selling the intelligence that other people’s vehicles drive on. Its chips, cameras and software sit behind the...
For most of its commercial history, quantum computing has been sold as a promise about the future. The new evidence points somewhere more familiar to anyone who buys indu...
The most significant thing about Kyoto Fusioneering’s decision to build UNITY-3 at Oak Ridge is not that another fusion research facility is going up in East Tennes...
Optimal Transit, the maritime engineering partnership of InMar Technologies and OptiFuel Systems, has unveiled a second configuration of its Kraaken platform, and the mor...
The familiar vision of construction autonomy is a physical one. An autonomous excavator works a site while drones survey progress overhead and robotic equipment handles t...
The headline from Selsingen is not that a German contractor has printed a building. Concrete printing has been printing buildings in Germany since Beckum in 2020, and the...
Construction companies are spending heavily on digital transformation, replacing spreadsheets, disconnected databases and ageing management systems with cloud platforms,...
For most of construction’s history, the physical asset has been the deliverable and the information surrounding it has been supporting evidence. Drawings, specifica...
A research team at Pusan National University has built a vibration isolator that senses a change in load and re-tunes itself within seconds, and it arrives at a moment wh...
Procore Technologies has moved its Asset Register tool to general availability, and while the headline is a productivity story about replacing weeks of closeout paperwork...
For most of the recycling industry’s history, the economics of plastic have run in one direction, and it has been downhill. Every mechanical recycling pass shortens...
The economics of the satellite business have quietly inverted. A decade of reusable rockets and batch-built spacecraft has driven the cost of reaching low Earth orbit dow...
Somewhere between a four-thousand-dollar box that sits beside a desk and a single rack that draws as much power as a small street, the economics of artificial intelligenc...
A chemistry group at Virginia Tech has published a process that converts polyvinyl chloride, one of the most stubborn plastics in the built environment, into polyalphaole...
Thales has released Luna 8, the first hardware security module built on a new platform designed for the migration to post-quantum cryptography, and the more important sto...
