Rivet nuts: A versatile fastening solution for automotive and manufacturing applications

March 21, 2025 by David Edwards

When it comes to securing materials in automotive and manufacturing settings, rivet nuts provide a reliable and efficient solution.

Also known as blind rivet nuts, these fasteners allow for strong, durable connections even in materials that are too thin for conventional threading. Their ability to be installed from one side of the material makes them an ideal choice for applications where access to the reverse side is restricted.

Top 10 steel producers: Innovations, challenges, and future directions

January 17, 2025 by David Edwards

If you’re the kind of person who thinks steel is beautiful, you probably need to get a life. Or at least get out more.

But the thing about steel is that it’s always so shiny. So strong as well. If it’s stainless steel, like your average sink, you could use it for the rest of your life and it will look as shiny and as beautiful as the day it was made, provided you clean it of course.

Scientifically or technically speaking, even stainless steel does rust. But that’s boffins for you – always looking to spoil the party with useless facts. To the average person, with an average sink, stainless steel stays as good as new forever. [Read more…] about Top 10 steel producers: Innovations, challenges, and future directions

6 Reasons Why Quantum Information Science Should Be Taught in Schools

December 12, 2023 by David Edwards

When I went to school, the IT class was new. Brand new. It was so new that once you moved beyond touch typing, which was what you learned in Year 7, there was not much else left for you to learn.

In every class after that, there were usually one or two students who knew more than the teachers did. This continued to be the case until the final years of high school, when suddenly we knew more than the assigned textbooks.

One year, when there were only a dozen of us in class, the teacher had us sit down and read through the textbook. Our job was to find every error contained within the standard issue textbook. [Read more…] about 6 Reasons Why Quantum Information Science Should Be Taught in Schools

Summer season: outdoor furniture that you can’t do without and the materials it is made of

August 2, 2023 by David Edwards

A country house and its territory have long ceased to be a place for planting cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, and beets. Today, it is becoming a place of rest from the hustle and bustle.

This is a place where you can have a great weekend and just sunbathe in a lounge away from the big city. It is important to choose high-quality outdoor furniture from a reliable supplier, such as Parasols. This is ​an assurance that it is durable and environmentally friendly.

Each of us dreams not only of a beautiful picture, but also of a cosy, comfortable resting place. And this problem cannot be solved without the best outdoor furniture, such as garden benches and chairs, armchairs and sofas, dining tables and coffee tables, swings, hammocks, and beach furniture.
