Researchers at the University of Bristol have developed a robotic suction cup prototype that is much stronger than current industrial solutions. It can grab onto rough, curved, and heavy objects like stones. The scientists were inspired by the way natural organisms, such as octopuses, can stick to rocks with their suckers. “We know that in nature there are so many soft-bodied organisms, for example, octopuses and snails and some kind of fishes, they can adaptively suck onto irregular surfaces,” said Tianqi Yue, a robotics researcher at the University of Bristol. Yue says all around us nature h...

The HCOB Eurozone construction purchasing managers’ index (PMI) for March came out on Friday morning, clocking in at 42.4, according to S&P Global. This was a fall from February’s 42.9 and was mostly due to a significant fall in housing activity. A major reduction in new business, caused mainly by dampened demand, also resulted in more jobs being slashed, as well as some budget tightening. This was reflected in less subcontractors being used, as well as fewer raw and input materials being purchased. Civil and commercial engineering companies saw ongoing reductions in activity, with March comme...

Another month, another climate record topples. February saw global air temperatures break records, while sea surface temperatures were also at the highest ever recorded, according to scientists at the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. Meanwhile, the world’s carbon dioxide emissions from energy continued to rise in 2023. The physical consequences of climate change — storms, floods, fires, extreme heat — are affecting communities rich and poor across the planet. Real estate and the buildings around us are on the frontline of this challenge. The built world is the biggest contributor to glo...
