Drop in fuel to SUSTAIN success for Formula Student - The Engineer

1 week ago | theengineer.co.uk | Jason Ford

Run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Formula Student competition challenges engineering students to design, manufacture and run a single-seater race car. The 35 entrants in 2025 running petrol engines have been given the choice of fuelling with SUSTAIN Racing 100E (107 RON), which is 82 per cent ethanol, or SUSTAIN 100 (95 RON) which is 10 per cent ethanol. These blends comprise of 100 per cent sustainable materials and are designed as a drop-in solution.

The 2025 edition will take place on November 15, 2025 at Yas Marina Circuit with a $2.25m prize pool for the 10 competing teams to vie for, plus the launch of a global virtual racing series. At the heart of the competition is the Dallara Super Formula SF23, a next-generation open-wheel race car that was autonomised for A2RL.
PREMA Racing partners with Monolith to boost IndyCar performance - The Engineer

2 weeks ago | theengineer.co.uk | Jason Ford

As development partner to PREMA Racing, London headquartered Monolith will apply its proprietary AI technology to produce bespoke models for the PREMA Racing engineering team, enabling it to use new, highly efficient channels for unlocking on-track performance. PREMA Racing’s engineering teams will utilise Monolith to implement customised aerodynamic maps and virtual sensors, with trackside anomaly detection validating data as it’s gathered on the circuit.
Babcock taps AR for new welding school - The Engineer

2 weeks ago | theengineer.co.uk | Andrew Wade

With the expansion of defence programmes at the heart of government growth plans, demand for welding skills is only set to increase. However, according to Babcock, much of the existing welding workforce is approaching retirement age. Coupled with a decline in welding apprenticeship opportunities, these trends spell a future shortage of welders without remedial action.
Expert Q&A: tackling challenges in the UK water sector - The Engineer

2 weeks ago | theengineer.co.uk | Andrew Wade

The UK water industry is under enormous pressure to improve services while also facing significant financial difficulties. From achieving net zero emissions to preventing leaks, reducing use of storm overflows, tackling pollution and adapting to the impact of climate change, the list of challenges faced by the sector is daunting. The Ofwat Innovation Fund supports cross-sector collaborations to bring forward solutions that sit outside ‘business-as-usual’ in the water industry.
The technologies that will underpin a sustainable long-term future in space - The Engineer

4 weeks ago | theengineer.co.uk | Jon Excell

The global space economy - once the sole preserve of governments - is growing and changing rapidly as a host of entrepreneurs and new space innovators eye up the potential of opportunities, ranging from asteroid mining and orbital data centres, to space-based solar power and zero-gravity drug development. Indeed, according to analysts, commercial activities now account for almost 80 per cent of a sector that’s predicted to grow from $630 billion in 2023 to $1.8 trillion by 2035.
The Copenhagen biotech startup making protein from thin air - The Engineer

1 month ago | theengineer.co.uk | Andrew Wade

Things are moving fast at Copenhagen-based biotechnology company Aerbio. The startup has its roots in the UK but recently relocated to the Danish capital after several years operating out of the Netherlands. Unfortunately, that move precipitated the exit of CXO and co-founder Pete Rowe, who The Engineer had originally spoken to about the company back in February. Thankfully, fellow co-founder and CTO, Rob Mansfield, was able to provide an update in the wake of the executive shake-up.
Interview with Ceres Power's Nick Lawrence

When The Engineer last caught up with Ceres Power, the company had just been awarded the MacRobert Award, one of engineering’s most prestigious prizes. Spun out of Imperial College in 2001, Ceres had already been making waves for several years, its SteelCell solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) technology converting hydrogen and hydrocarbons into electricity.
Klein Vision unveils AirCar production prototype

1 month ago | theengineer.co.uk | Jason Ford

AirCar inventor and designer Stefan Klein unveiled the production prototype to a crowd of industry leaders at the 2025 Living Legends of Aviation Gala Dinner in Beverly Hills, California. The AirCar holds a Certificate of Airworthiness and has so far completed over 170 flight hours and more than 500 take-offs and landings. AirCar first appeared in The Engineer in 2021 after it had undertaken a flight from Nitra Airport to Bratislava Airport.
Impervio separator offers solution to thermal runaway

1 month ago | theengineer.co.uk | Jason Ford

The company’s Impervio separator suppresses dendrite growth, monitors cell activity, and signals the battery management system (BMS) to shut down the cell if necessary. In doing so, 24M said OEMs will be able to target recalls to specific affected units rather than recalling an entire model line, which can cost in the region of $1bn. Dendrites form when the metal ions (like lithium) deposit unevenly on the anode during charging, forming needle-like or branch-like structures.
