Dcubed to demonstrate in-space manufacturing of solar arrays German company Dcubed is moving into in-space manufacturing with a series of missions to demonstrate production of large solar arrays in orbit.

Germanys Dcubed will build a 15-meter solar array directly in orbit, skipping the violent launch that forces overengineering. Manufacturing panels in space means lighter structures and arrays too large to ever fit in a rocket fairing.

Make UK urges government to guarantee Budget funding for energy support scheme Make UK is urging the government to guarantee funding for the proposed business energy support scheme, amid concerns that it is struggling to stand by its commitment announced earlier this year as…

UK manufacturers face £500k annual energy bill increases next April. Make UK wants support expanded from 7,000 to all 115,000 firms now—not 2027. Their math: £3.3bn economic growth would pay for the scheme through tax revenue alone.

New Quantum Algorithm Could Explain Why Matter Exists at All Researchers used IBM’s quantum computers to create scalable quantum circuits that simulate matter under extreme conditions, offering new insight into fundamental forces and the origins of the universe. Simulating how matter behaves under extreme conditions is essential for exploring some of the d

Physicists ran quantum physics biggest simulation yet—100+ qubits modeling why matter beat antimatter. They made quantum circuits mimic particle collisions, tracking hadron pulses with percent-level accuracy. Next: supernova element creation and ultra-dense matter physics.

Our Solar System Is Moving 3x Faster Than Scientists Expected Study from Bielefeld finds major departure from the standard model. How fast and in what direction is our solar system moving through space? This question, though simple in appearance, plays a central role in testing modern cosmological theories. A team led by astrophysicist Lukas Böhme at Bie

Solar system speeding through space 3.7x faster than physics predicts. Radio galaxy count reveals were either breaking cosmic speed limits or these galactic beacons arent spread evenly. Five-sigma certainty means cosmology textbooks need rewrites.

Birmingham fires starting gun on £1bn highways deal Council launches eight-year new works framework

Birmingham launches £1bn highways framework split across Midlands councils. Two contractors get the £10m+ projects while smaller jobs open to 10 firms. Reopens twice in 8 years to keep competition fresh. Quality beats price in scoring—50% vs 40%.

Wylfa chosen for UK’s first small modular reactor in major North Wales investment The UK Government has confirmed that Wylfa on Anglesey will host the country’s first small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear power station, marking the most significant industrial investment in North Wales for a generation.

Wylfa gets UKs first small modular reactor. These compact nuclear units are built in sections at factories then assembled on-site—faster and cheaper than traditional plants. One SMR powers 3 million homes. Construction starts mid-2030s, bringing 3,000 jobs to Anglesey.

EPFL built a robot you can eat. Gelatin-wax battery runs on citric acid and baking soda, creating CO2 that inflates soft actuators to make it wiggle. Built to vaccinate wild boars who avoid humans—the robot looks like prey, delivers meds, biodegrades if uneaten.

Hot take: The pyramids were a bigger engineering feat than landing on the moon. Agree or disagree?

Chinese hackers turned Claude AI into an autonomous cyberweapon, breaching 30 targets without human help. They split malicious requests to bypass safety features. The AI then scanned networks, found databases, and wrote exploit code itself—a first in documented cyber warfare.

Inside plans to bury the UK’s growing mountain of nuclear waste The UK is on the cusp of a nuclear renaissance. Yesterday (13 November), the government confirmed the site for the country’s first small modular reactor (SMR) power station, in Wylfa, North Wales. Elsewhere, construction is ramping up at Sizewell C and the first reactor was recently installed at H...

UK plans a 300km² underwater nuclear vault off Cumbrias coast to store 770,000 cubic metres of radioactive waste. Built 200-1,000m below the seabed, itll handle everything from 60-tonne concrete boxes to vitrified glass. Operations start 2050, run until 2200.

CATL launches 5th-gen LFP batteries with higher density, longer life Chinese EV battery maker CATL’s new LFP batteries deliver higher energy density and longer cycle life.

CATLs new sodium-ion batteries work reliably in freezing temperatures where lithium fails. Their fifth-gen LFP cells push density further while the company powers 20 million EVs globally. The strategy: attack battery weaknesses with multiple chemistries at once.

EVs can get 2.8x more range, 3x battery life with oxygen bodyguard gel Discover how a revolutionary battery design could increase electric vehicle efficiency and ensure greater safety and longevity.

New gel electrolyte stops oxygen from destroying EV batteries at high voltage. Result: 2.8x more range, 3x longer life, 81% capacity after 500 cycles. Works like a molecular bodyguard—catches oxygen before it escapes, neutralizes what gets through.

Bam and Eden Project’s partnership will teach, inspire and equip people to ‘build differently’ | New Civil Engineer The collaboration – first announced in October – sets out to combine the construction expertise of Bam with the Eden Project’s knowledge of ecology and

Construction giant Bam teams with Eden Project to train builders in ecological regeneration. Not just reducing damage – teaching crews to create buildings that actively improve ecosystems, from wildlife-supporting materials to natural water filtration systems.

Engineering Today’s Data Center Talent Leaders must rise to the occasion to expand the talent pool to address booming data center demand.

Data centers grow 15% yearly but cant find enough workers. Companies now recruit electricians and HVAC techs from construction, add training for automation and liquid cooling. The fix: treat workforce development like infrastructure investment itself.

Community-focused South West flood project wins engineering award The Gooseum Rhyne Reservoir scheme near Bristol wins ICE South West 2025 Project Award for Collaboration.

Engineers cut Gooseum Rhyne Reservoirs size, saved £8M and 98% of carbon emissions while keeping flood protection intact. Community kept their youth club, basketball courts, and memorial trees. Sometimes scaling back beats building up.

British F-35 engineer shortfalls to take years to fix The Ministry of Defence expects it will take three to four years to resolve the engineer shortages affecting the UK’s F-35 programme, according to statements made in response to Parliamentary questions.

UKs F-35 jets sit grounded while the RAF scrambles to find engineers. Training techs for stealth coatings and integrated sensors takes years, not months. Even with bonuses and expanded programs, the fix wont come until 2028. Thats £85 million aircraft collecting dust.

Lightweight titanium composite mimics reinforced concrete - The Engineer Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a new lightweight, high-performance titanium alloy composite

Scientists built a titanium-aluminum composite copying reinforced concretes structure. 3D-printed titanium acts like rebar while aluminum forms the matrix. Result: 5x stronger than aluminum, maintains steel-like strength at 500°C but weighs 66% less.
