Coventry University has joined forces with the German engineering services known as FEV. They have announced that they have opened a £50m low carbon facility. This is especially interesting to those who work in technical recruitment and engineering recruitment.

The facility is going to house some of the best, and most-advanced combustion tests. These are now available in the UK and it is safe to say that they are also trying to test any current and even future power train experiments. This is going to be done quickly and efficiently, so that people can always feel confident in the resources that are available. The capabilities are going to be available to CMEs, OEMS and even supply chains. This is designed to try and keep partners keen on creating new systems and it could even be used in aerospace, marine and some rail sectors. So far, 36 new jobs have been created and there have also been a number of apprentice positions announced too. A spokesman has stated that he believes that this could be a real opportunity to try and lead the rest of the world and that this is going to be really helpful when it comes to carbon propulsion systems. It will also play a large role when it comes to the FEV. This has been moved to a new facility and this is going to be the UK test centre.

Professor Stefan Pischinger and the president of the FEV group has stated that they have made the decision to try and work together after Brexit was talked about and even though this brings about a lot of uncertainty, there is no reason to change the approach at all. They believe that the Brexit vote is going to affect this, and that they need to stay on the path that they have carved out for themselves.

The UK's attempt to take the land speed record to well over 1000mp has been launched. The blue and orange colours that were once associated with this are long gone. The doghouse is now no longer near to the Bristol docks either, but it's sage to say that Bloodhound is doing everything they can to prepare for the next big thing. Those who work in engineering recruitment or even in technical recruitment will know more than anyone what a huge deal this is. The car is now red and white, and this is going to be covered in sponsor logos. On top of that, the core team has transferred over to the new organisation as well. The new HQ can be found in Gloucestershire and the STEM outreach and even the educational aspects of the program are going to be carried over as well. Bloodhound are now in their new livery and this is at Berkley Green.

The RAF commander is going to be driving the car and he is working with everyone in the team to make sure that the car is up to the right specification. The team's own intentions have been unchanged, and they are also following a ton of operational planning. This will help them to operate to the highest possible level and it will also help them to take to take things to that next level. They are going to try and break the current record which has been set by Andy Green. This was done in the year 1997 and they are going to be returning to the HQ to review the data that has been gathered. When they have done this, they can then go to Africa to try and make the right changes to make this dream happen.

A research team in South Korea are working hard to try and develop a textile display that can be machine washable. The best thing about this is that it is going to be completely powered by solar energy. Kyung Cheol Choi has graduated from the School of Electrical Engineering and that he is using his knowledge from this time to power his experiment. He has also stated that his team are wearing their modules and they are based on real textiles too. This is going to use integrated polymer solar cells, which have OLEDS built into them.

When you look at what KAIST have said, you will soon see that PSC is one of the most promising candidates. Those who work in technical recruitment will know what this means for the industry. Of course, if you work in engineering recruitment you will see that OLEDS can be driven by milliwatts. A major barrier for this is that they are very vulnerable to oxygen and even external moisture. Of course, they are doing everything they can to tackle this issue and that is why they are using a washable encapsulation barrier. This is going to give the device some kind of protection without making the device lose out on any characteristics. It also shows very little change in the device even after 20 different washes. The cycles were done at 10 minutes each and they also include OLEDS and even PSCS too.

Finally it has been shown that the device has not deteriorated at all and this is even after it has been washed time and time again. It has been put up against washing and stress, and this really just goes to show that it has made incredible progress so far.

Engineers that work in the US have been able to create a 4D printed material. Potential applicants are going to be morphed into aircraft wings, soft robotics and more. 4D printing is actually based on additive technology but it also uses special materials and a ton of sophisticated designs to try and print objects so that they can change shape with the environmental conditions they face. This can include temperature acting as a trigger. This is the fourth dimension and people believe that it will help them to morph into a brand-new shape.

A lot of people believe that the unprecedented interplay of the science behind materials will play a huge role in 3D printing. They also believe that it will help them to carve a new pathway when it comes to technology, safety and even health. The engineers have created a whole new class of metamaterials and these are all manufactured so that they offer unusual or even counterintuitive properties that cannot be found in nature. Those who work in technical recruitment or even engineering recruitment will be especially excited for this.

The shape and even the properties of metamaterials were normally irreversible. This is especially the case once they have been manufactured. The Rutgers engineers have now been able to turn their plastic materials into something completely new with heat. They can then stay rigid when they are struck and they can also become soft if they were to absorb any liquid. This is an exciting movement to say the least and there is no telling how far this is going to go either. With so many possibilities, it's safe to say that the industry is making huge leaps when it comes to technological advancements.
