The 7th International Conference on Maintenance and Intelligent Asset Management (ICMIAM 2026) drew researchers, engineers, and business leaders from across the globe to discuss how data-driven technologies are reshaping the […]
Britain’s railways, roads, and flood defences rest on a vast network of engineered slopes — cuttings carved through hillsides and embankments raised across valleys, many of them built more than a century ago.

Conventional tractors are often too expensive, too heavy and too emissions-intensive for market gardens, nurseries and urban farms. A recent announcement from Loughborough University suggests that balance is beginning to shift. Aftrak, an agritech venture co-founded by engineers at Loughborough University, […]
