A Penn State graduate student presented new measurements of how Olympic barbells bend and recoil, offering a clearer look at the ‘whip’ lifters time during high-level competition.

A decades-old mechanical design keeps the Rokon relevant as a rare production motorcycle that drives both wheels, prioritizing crawling traction and utility over speed or conventional handling.

Siemens has introduced the Eigen Engineering Agent, an AI system designed to plan and validate automation engineering tasks in operational environments using multi-step reasoning and self-correction.

An IEEE Spectrum essay argues that Francis Bacon’s influential vision of science was informed not just by philosophy, but by contemporary inventors who learned by doing and turned practical experimentation into a model.

NASA and the Office of Personnel Management have opened a new hiring portal aimed at bringing early- to mid-career engineers and technologists into mission-critical roles.

The death of IEEE Life Fellow Gerard “Gus” Gaynor at 104 closes an unusually long chapter of volunteer leadership and highlights the often overlooked institutional work behind engineering communities
