UAE Nuclear Power Plant Targeted by Drone Strike
A drone strike at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the UAE caused a fire but did not affect safety or operations, according to Abu Dhabi officials. They did not assign blame for the attack, which comes amid stalled efforts to end the U. S.-Israeli war with Iran. The...
Autonomous Fault-Tolerant Cooperative Tracking and Obstacle Avoidance for UAV Swarm in Complex Maritime Environments
Highlights What are the main findings? A DMPC-SQP-based cooperative tracking framework for UAV swarm is proposed. In dense threat environments, it achieves a 93.4% QP feasibility rate and reduces the mean tracking error by 25.4% compared to fixed-altitude DMPC and by...
A Scanline-Based Sliding Window Filtering Method for UAV-Borne LiDAR Bathymetry Point Clouds
Highlights What are the main findings? A novel scanline-based sliding window filtering method is proposed for the denoising of UAV-borne LiDAR bathymetric point clouds, which can effectively separate noise while completely retaining detailed features of complex...

Improved welding of conformal channels
The invention provides, amongst other aspects, a device comprising a substrate; a wall which is welded onto the substrate thereby defining a channel; and a covering layer extending over the substrate and covering at least the wall, wherein the wall is prefabricated,...
Framatome veut utiliser l’impression 3D pour les futures centrales nucléaires
De plus en plus répandue, la fabrication additive promet de révolutionner des pans entiers de l’industrie. Framatome en a pris conscience très tôt et vient d’ouvrir une usine dédiée, concrétisant ainsi près de 15 ans de recherche et développement. Cette nouvelle usine...
La société wallonne AnyShape devient fournisseur clé d’Airbus Defence and Space
AnyShape, la société wallonne spécialisée dans la fabrication additive, a signé un gros contrat avec Airbus pour la production de pièces pour l'Eurodrone. L'entreprise de Villers-le-Bouillet est devenue un acteur incontournable en Europe sur ce segment industriel....
La fabrication additive est-elle la clé pour réduire les émissions liées aux pièces de rechange dans les secteurs de l’énergie et du maritime ?
L’Agence internationale de l’énergie (AIE) a estimé que les avancées en matière de technologies de fabrication pourraient réduire la consommation énergétique industrielle mondiale de 18 à 26 %. Cette évolution se traduirait par des réductions équivalentes des...
Classification and Parameter Selection for Damage Characterization in CFRP Composite Materials Using Acoustic Emission and Multivariate Statistics
Accurate damage characterization in thermoset Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites using Acoustic Emission (AE) requires statistically robust and interpretable models. This study employs multinomial logistic regression with forward selection and Type III...
Design and Finite Element Thermo-Structural Analysis of a Structurally Integrated Multilayer Composite Cryogenic Thermal Barrier for Liquid Hydrogen Tank Applications
Effective thermal insulation of cryogenic liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage tanks remains a critical engineering challenge, as conventional vacuum-based or monolithic systems are constrained by manufacturing complexity, mechanical vulnerability, and poor geometric...
