Modern ice generators and their key role in the field of gastronomy

by

Ice makers make ice cubes that can be used to make delicious food and a variety of refreshing drinks. There are different ice makers of different sizes, models also have different specifications and different power ratings.

If you are looking for models of ice machines for your restaurant, cafe, or home use, contact Bftech. Their key specialization is in the field of ice generators and various associated technologies to meet the needs of various fields of gastronomy.

Ice makers from well-known manufacturers, represented in the wide range of Bftech, can produce different portions of ice in cubes, flakes, and crushed ice forms every day. At Bftech, you can find exactly the block ice machine model that meets your current needs. [Read more…] about Modern ice generators and their key role in the field of gastronomy

MIT demonstrates reprogrammable materials that ‘selectively self-assemble’

By Rachel Gordon, MIT CSAIL

While automated manufacturing is ubiquitous today, it was once a nascent field birthed by inventors such as Oliver Evans, who is credited with creating the first fully automated industrial process, in a flour mill he built and gradually automated in the late 1700s.

The processes for creating automated structures or machines are still very top-down, requiring humans, factories, or robots to do the assembling and making.

However, the way nature does assembly is ubiquitously bottom-up; animals and plants are self-assembled at a cellular level, relying on proteins to self-fold into target geometries that encode all the different functions that keep us ticking.

GM to supply Navistar with Hydrotec fuel cells for electric vehicles while Volvo and Scania highlight their own electrification initiatives

by

General Motors will supply its Hydrotec fuel cell power cubes to truck-making giant Navistar for use in its production model fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) – the International RHTM Series.

Navistar’s FCEV will get energy from two GM Hydrotec fuel cell power cubes.

Each Hydrotec power cube contains 300-plus hydrogen fuel cells along with thermal and power management systems. [Read more…] about GM to supply Navistar with Hydrotec fuel cells for electric vehicles while Volvo and Scania highlight their own electrification initiatives
