A Norwegian company just made robot joints smaller, lighter, and more powerful with motors so thin they open up entirely new design possibilities. Engineers will get hands-on demos at Boston's Robotics Summit in May 2026.
A British company just secured major funding to build electric motors without controversial rare earth materials, tackling one of the biggest headaches in clean transportation. Their magnet-free technology could make electric vehicles cheaper, cleaner, and easier to produce.
Major automakers are betting on range-extended electric vehicles that combine electric motors with small backup engines, offering drivers a path to cleaner cars without the anxiety of running out of charge. The technology could convince 70% of customers to switch to electric by 2030 while keeping European manufacturers competitive.
A California company just raised $11 million to manufacture the motors that power drones and robots right here in America. For decades, nearly every robotic motor came from China, but Westmag is changing that with a new factory already filling orders for hundreds of thousands of units.
Engineers can now print a fully functional electric motor in about three hours for 50 cents, potentially ending costly factory delays from broken parts. MIT researchers developed a breakthrough platform that prints complex machines using multiple materials in one step.
Australian researchers built a tiny motor that spins using liquid metal flows instead of rigid parts, reaching 320 revolutions per minute. The breakthrough could revolutionize soft robotics and medical devices that need to bend, stretch, and move through tight spaces.
Britain is pouring £62 million into developing its own satellite technology, helping businesses and researchers build better internet connections for remote areas and strengthen the country's space industry. The funding will support everything from startup ideas to major commercial projects, creating jobs and reducing reliance on foreign space infrastructure.
The king of premium e-bike motors just made a surprise move into lightweight city bikes. Bosch's new hub motor could bring smart features to thousands more commuters.
A breakthrough electric bike motor can multiply your pedaling effort by eight times, making mountain climbs that once seemed impossible suddenly achievable. The technology could open up challenging trails to riders of all abilities.
A Massachusetts motor manufacturer that's been making engines since 1876 is gearing up for massive expansion after weathering the pandemic. Magmotor Technologies is hiring a new generation of workers to learn from 25-year veterans before they retire.
Small farmers in Punjab, India are getting a technological lifeline through a new partnership with South Korea. The collaboration will bring advanced farming tools and vertical farming expertise to help make agriculture profitable again.
A new electric bike motor system delivers motorcycle-level power while staying lightweight, and it's already backed by over 60 major manufacturers. The breakthrough could transform how we think about pedal-powered transportation.
Scientists in Japan developed an AI tool that reveals hidden energy waste inside electric motors, offering a path to make electric vehicles run longer and cleaner. The breakthrough could transform how we build sustainable transportation.
A professional dancer paralyzed by ALS performed on stage again using brain interface technology that translates her thoughts into movements through a digital avatar. The groundbreaking performance in Amsterdam marked the first time someone has danced professionally using only their mind.
MIT researchers built a 3D printer that can create an entire working electric motor, complete with moving parts, in just three hours for only 50 cents in materials. This breakthrough could revolutionize manufacturing by letting companies print their own hardware on demand instead of waiting for parts to ship.
Researchers in Tokyo just proved that an overlooked sideways force in electricity can spin motors made entirely of plastic, no magnets required. This breakthrough could make future devices lighter, cheaper, and safer.
A new company in Ahmedabad is solving a century-old problem by building high-efficiency motors that don't rely on imported materials from China. Their innovation could make millions of Indian appliances cheaper to run while strengthening local manufacturing.
Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a breakthrough drug that could lead to new treatments for Motor Neurone Disease and other conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The molecule successfully targets a previously hard-to-reach immune receptor, opening doors to safer anti-inflammatory therapies.
Egypt is creating "Technology Valleys" at universities to transform academic research into real products and businesses. The new system rewards professors for patents and startups, not just published papers.
The Netherlands just secured €214 million to lead the global race toward 6G networks, technology that could transform everything from factories to emergency deliveries. The country already set a world record during testing, and over 100 small businesses are lining up to build the wireless future.
