Energy generation is the most crucial building block of a country’s economic development and a key determinant of its progress. Population growth requires a higher degree of economic development, which directly requires more energy to be generated. To meet the rising energy demands, the energy sector is under pressure to expand rapidly as countries...

The Southeast Asian (SEA) markets are ramping after the down-turn during the Asian crisis. The economies are growing at an average of above 5 percent due to improved domestic and export market conditions. Bilateral and multilateral trade agreements are likely to fuel the future economic growth rates in the SEA region. The flow of public, private, a...

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is the process of inspecting, testing, or assessing materials, components, sub-assemblies, and assemblies for defects (surface and sub-surface level defects) that can compromise product quality and/or cause premature product failures. Industries (process and discrete) have used NDT for decades to ensure the quality of ...

Automotive manufacturing is a complex and ever-evolving industry shaped by technological advancements, economic conditions, and consumer preferences. As the demand for automobiles grew, automotive manufacturing has evolved from being highly reliant on manual labor to adopting new technologies and mass production techniques. The most important devel...

With companies increasingly digitalizing automotive manufacturing processes, mixed reality (MR) tools are gaining significance for improving design and prototyping, streamlining assembly processes, enhancing quality control, reducing downtime, and increasing safety. In addition to these benefits, MR holds the potential to transform the automotive m...

The successful space flights conducted by Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin in July 2021 mark the beginning of commercial services for sub-orbital space tourism. Hundreds of people have pre-booked sub-orbital flights, which indicates demand for the service. However, despite being operational, the actual demand that could materialize will depend on th...
