Artificial intelligence (AI) workloads are reshaping the scale, speed, and risk profile of data center construction. As AI adoption accelerates, operators need more physical infrastructure, faster deployment cycles, and greater confidence that critical systems will perform as intended after handoff…

(NIST: Gaithersburg, MD) -- Can we make artificial intelligence impervious to adversaries who want to twist the technology to nefarious ends? Though AI is among the newest of technologies, the question’s answer is nearly a century old. Try as we might, we can’t render AI completely unassailable…

During a recent visit to a brewery in Dublin, I was stopped by one statement displayed on the tour: “The quality of our advertising must be equal to the quality of our beer.” It was intended as branding. But it pointed to something most organizations quietly overlook: They assume quality begins…

All too often, leaders seek to build support for an idea by talking—a lot. They may go on and on about why the decision is a good one, detailing its benefits, the reasons others should support it, and the path forward. There’s passion and excitement behind the talk, and the leader lets it show…

(Oak Ridge National Laboratory: Oak Ridge, TN) -- Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed advanced tools to detect abnormal power grid conditions that lead to wildfires, equipment damage, and blackouts. The approach incorporates artificial…

Midtier life sciences companies are spending more than ever on quality and regulatory technology, yet many are paying enterprise prices for capability they never use. The right question isn’t whether to invest in a quality management system (QMS) or regulatory information management (RIM) platform…

(Renishaw: West Dundee, IL) -- Renishaw has extended the capabilities of its XK20 alignment laser by introducing flatness and level measurement functionality to its CARTO XK20 app. This gives users additional tools to measure and adjust geometric errors during machine build and alignment, adding to…

Teams building software as a medical device (SaMD) tend to think of ISO 14971 as the hardware team’s problem. Risk management files, FMEA tables, severity scores: all quality and regulatory territory, while the engineers close Jira tickets. That split is where things go wrong. ISO 14971 applies to…

High-mix manufacturing has become the norm. Production lines are expected to produce more part variants in smaller batches and at a faster pace than ever before—all while maintaining very high quality. To keep up, many manufacturers turn to automated quality control (AQC). Robots and 3D scanning…

As we celebrate the United States’ 250th anniversary this year, NIST experts have been working to preserve our nation’s history for the next 250-plus years. Among other historic preservation efforts, NIST engineers and scientists created a bespoke time capsule with artifacts from around the country…

(ASQ: Milwaukee) -- What we think we know about nuclear power is changing. For example, an entrepreneur dropped a micro nuke power plant from off a Ford 250 pickup truck. Another shipped a small modular reactor on a semi flatbed. You get the idea; the times, they are a-changin’. This is the start…

As a significant portion of the experienced manufacturing workforce approaches retirement, companies face the critical threat of losing undocumented tribal knowledge. Veteran operators possess decades of hard-won, job-specific insights that rarely exist in paper manuals or corporate file systems.…
