Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing technologies involve various manufacturing processes that enable building objects layer by layer. It gives way to complex designs and heightened performance. The automotive industry was among the first to use AM processes, including laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), fused filament fabrication (FFF), and, more recently, inkjet printing and stereolithography …
Robotic Solutions for Safer and Efficient Pipeline Operations Oil & Gas (O&G) pipelines installed decades ago have been difficult to inspect and maintain. The workers have to deal with harsh environments or climates when working with pipelines, which can be expensive, claustrophobic, and sometimes dangerous. In the last 20 years, nearly 300 pipeline incidents have …

Hydrogen production in artificial photosynthesis In recent years, many studies have reported various heterogeneous and homogeneous molecular systems for hydrogen evolution based on transition metal complexes. Many of these systems that sometimes exhibit high turnover (TON) and efficiency for hydrogen production only operate in organic or aqueous-organic media (5-50% H2O). Moreover, molecular systems working in pure …
