We’re witnessing a modern-day “Apollo moment” as industry steps up to lead the charge in nuclear innovation. With Amazon, Google, and Microsoft investing heavily in small modular reactors (SMRs) to power their data centers with clean energy, this race isn’t just about technology—it’s about transforming our energy future. We are proud to see our efforts in standards development alongside academia, government, and industry paying off in very real ways. But as ASME Executive Director/CEO Thomas Costabile points out, the biggest challenge might not be the tech itself. The real question is whether we have the skilled workforce to make this vision a reality. The future of nuclear energy will be powered by engineers, technicians, and operators who can build and maintain these systems. The stakes are high, and the need for action is clear. The future of clean energy won’t just be powered by innovation—it’ll be powered by people. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gzEeAGmb

120 years ago today, the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) subway line, the initial segment of NYC's subway network, opened! In 1904, the IRT line ran 9.1 miles from City Hall to 145th Street and Broadway, and cost only a nickel. Extensions to the Bronx opened in 1905 and to Brooklyn in 1908, completing the first subway. This expansion laid the foundation for the extensive transit network that brings locals and tourists alike across the city. We designated the IRT line as an #ASMELandmark in 1978, celebrating it as the first fully electrically signaled railroad in the United States and the first practical subway in New York City.

Bioengineering researchers: Don't miss this unique opportunity to share your research and connect with the global bioengineering community at SBC 2025.

The world’s first flat-packable manual washing machine, the Divya, is a game-changer in frugal innovation. The Washing Machine Project is a United Kingdom-based grassroots organization that aims to alleviate the burden of handwashing clothes “by providing remote, low-income, and displaced communities with an accessible, off-grid washing solution.” A partnership with The Whirlpool Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Whirlpool Corporation, helped address the scale challenge. The team increased the production of machines from one a day to one every five minutes. Distribution of the Divya machine is targeted at underserved populations in rural and urban areas in India, Mexico, Brazil, the Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Uganda. The Divya machine is just the tip of the iceberg—future goals include developing drying options for washed clothes too! Photos: The Washing Machine Project

Machine learning and real-world robotics meet at Aescape, offering on-demand massages from an AI-controlled mechanical system. Overhead depth sensors create a 3D model of the person on the massage table utilizing over 1 million data points. The heated force-sensitive arms called Aerpoints are modeled after human hands and deliver precisely targeted pressure throughout the session. The person on the massage table can control the experience, from massage pressure to music preferences, using an interactive touchscreen. The AI learns as it gains more feedback from body deformation as the Aerpoints press down on it, helping to train the system to get smarter about how it specifically responds to the individual and delivers a safe and effective massage. Would you try a massage from a robot?
