In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams (named for English scientist George Airy), which the team created using a custom-built device, could enhance neutrons’ ability to reveal useful information about materials ranging from pharmaceuticals to…

When we step into a complex organization—whether in manufacturing, healthcare, or finance—we often find ourselves navigating a sea of competing truths. Everyone seems certain they see the problem clearly. Yet somehow, solving it feels harder than it should.

Why?

Often, it’s not the facts that differ. It’s the interpretation.

Named after…

In the casting industry, efficiency is key to producing high-quality parts while minimizing rework. Comprehensive data play a vital role in optimizing each manufacturing step. Traditionally, foundries have relied on conventional inspection techniques to ensure dimensional measurement. But the coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is slow to operate, generating bottlenecks and causing production…
