Perforated metal has long been valued for its strength, versatility, and clean visual appeal. Created by punching patterns of holes into metal sheets, it offers a practical balance between airflow, light control, and structural support. Across industries such as architecture, construction, mining, and interior design, perforated metal has become a go-to material for projects that require both function and style.
The Clean+Wash Hygiene tweaks the way debris is collected. It still has a dirty-water tank and a debris tray, but it keeps both in the head of the device rather than cycling dirty water back up into a separate tank on the cleaner. Disposal looks similar to the old device, with the user still needing to empty both the dirty water and the debris tray, but removal of these items can happen at the same time.
MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) systems are designed to continuously replace stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat that would otherwise be lost. In commercial and residential buildings, this technology provides several important advantages. First, it allows buildings to remain energy efficient without sacrificing airflow.
YouTuber Chris Doel set out to prove that the cells inside disposable vapes can have a second life, and that they can even power an electric car—albeit a tiny one. He sourced no fewer than 500 individual cells, tested them to make sure they were healthy, and put them together into a makeshift battery pack.
A pair of former Dyson engineers have raised millions of pounds to bring a battery-powered electric boiler to market, positioning it as a lower-cost, lower-disruption alternative to heat pumps for millions of UK homes. Wiltshire-based Luthmore was founded in 2022 by Craig Wilkinson and Martin Gutkowski, both ex-Dyson engineers who previously worked together on projects including the vacuum maker's abandoned electric car programme.

Tesla has confirmed that it is now producing both the anode and cathode of its 4680 battery cells using a dry-electrode process, marking a key breakthrough in a technology the company has been working to industrialize for years.

EDC used to mean something very specific. Ask any survival enthusiast and they'll tell you it stands for EveryDay Carry, the essential tools you keep on hand at all times. A Swiss Army knife. A multi-tool. A compact flashlight. Things built for the unpredictable, the inconvenient, and the emergency. The whole point was physical survival, and the design language to match: rugged, matte, built to last.
UK businesses invest heavily in digital marketing. Yet many struggle to grow. The issue is not effort. The issue is disconnected systems. Ads, websites, and CRM often work apart. This makes it hard to track leads and sales or scale with confidence. This problem is common in: Home eCommerce brands, like furniture and home decor stores, that depend on online sales
Ammonia might be the world's most under appreciated chemical. Without it, crops would go unfertilized and billions of people would starve. Humans started making ammonia in large amounts just over a century ago, and since then the process used to make it, known as Haber-Bosch, hasn't changed much. A new startup, Ammobia, says that it has tweaked the Haber-Bosch process to lower the cost by up to 40%.
