Not true, Jeff. All the cool people know about Mechanical Engineering. Congratulations to our fearless boss, Louise Poirier, for taking home the Eddie for “Range of Work by a Single Author.” Everything she writes is great, and she writes about everything!

Incredibly proud of my old crew at @asmedotorg.bsky.social @mengineeringmag.bsky.social for nabbing two Eddies last night. Best little magazine no one’s ever heard of. Onward and upward.

Outgoing editor-in-chief Jeffrey Winters reminisces on some of his favorite stories from over the past 23 years. www.asme.org/topics-resou...

Tim Latimer of Fervo Energy, who's developing the deep frontier of enhanced geothermal energy, is one of Mechanical Engineering magazine's 25 members of Watch List 2025. magazine.asme.org/issues/watch...

Again this year we are throwing a spotlight on 25 early career engineers who are redefining what it means to lead, innovate, and represent engineering. magazine.asme.org/issues/watch...

Everyone loves tooting their own horn, and we spoke with Eva Erickson, mechanical engineering doctoral student who finished second in this spring's Survivor. open.spotify.com/embed/episod... www.asme.org/topics-resou...

Our April 2025 issue posted, and it's chock full of great stories on the frontiers of engineering. Where next for robotic surgery? magazine.asme.org/issues/april... Recycling old wind and solar components magazine.asme.org/issues/april... And more! magazine.asme.org/issues/april...

Mush for brains? A research team at Cornell has made robots that use mushrooms as part of their control systems. ASME members can read all about it in the March issue of Mechanical Engineering magazine. magazine.asme.org/issues/march...

Duesenbergs were the hypercars of the 1920s -- automobiles built by racecar engineers and packed with cutting edge technology. One innovation -- four-wheel hydraulic brakes -- are now an ASME Engineering Landmark.

“Twenty percent of their lives were spent going through a global pandemic,” said Mike Hadden of Skansa USA. “A lot of them are breaking out of their shell, wanting so desperately to be heard because they weren’t for so long.” Engineering's generation gap. magazine.asme.org/issues/febru...

Hey, @asmedotorg.bsky.social members! The February issue of Mechanical Engineering magazine is ready for you. * Managing the Generation Gap * How E-Bikes Got to Be the Next Big Thing … and more. magazine.ASME.org

Purdue has added 6 new programs in Indianapolis for Fall 2025, including a Professional Master's in Sports Engineering: www.purdue.edu/newsroom/pur...

Hello, BlueSky friends. We are looking for nominations to our 2025 Watch List -- our annual spotlight on early-career engineers who are doing amazing work. If you know someone _we_ should know about, let us know via the form! (2024 Watch List in the following post.) airtable.com/appFEFavTIdU...

It’s easily more than $3. Here’s our chart from a while ago and our more recent paper. For climate alone, every $100/tonne GHG adds $1/gal. Whether driving costs us all an extra $3 per gal or $6/gal, it’s not zero, which is what we pay now. www.rand.org/content/dam/... & pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

New issue (members only) of Mechanical Engineering just dropped, featuring a cover story on NASA's Artemis program by the always-excellent Louise Poirier. magazine.asme.org/issues/janua...

"The report finds that costs could fall by 80% by 2035 to around $50 per megawatt hour (MWh). This would make geothermal the cheapest source of dispatchable low-emissions electricity on a par with existing hydropower and nuclear installations." www.iea.org/news/technol...

Have we been duped by the primary energy fallacy? Critics of renewables often say that we cannot possibly replace the vast amount of fossil fuel we currently use with clean energy. The good news is that we don’t have to. My article in Medium explains why. medium.com/@jan.rosenow...

In our December 2024 issue, we looked at some of the startups on the deep frontier of renewable energy. Companies like Fervo, Sage, and Eavor are taking slightly different approaches, but the goal is the same: Tapping deep geothermal heat to provide reliable power. www.asme.org/topics-resou...

As robotic assisted surgery (RAS) instruments become ever smaller, fundamental principles of mechanical engineering dictate the extent of useful work they can achieve. www.medicaldesignandoutsourcing.com/surgical-rob... #Roboticd #Assisted #Surgery #RAS #Hospital #Health

Finally had some time to dig into the subsea cable cuts in the Baltic Sea that have gotten a lot of attention lately. Due to the rich fabric of connectivity in the region, the loss of the two cables caused minimal disruption. However, here are some subtle BGP impacts I was able to identify. 🧵

Hey, @asmedotorg.bsky.social -- we do this every year, and you never give us smart glasses or a 3D printer we ask for. Get with the program! www.asme.org/topics-resou...

If solar PV gets cheap enough, Australia could wind up powering half the world.

China's crewed lunar lander separation test here, plus crewed spacecraft, EVA suit, lunar rover and rocket test in this clip from a new video from China's human spaceflight agency mp.weixin.qq.com/s/6upoIt3eEE...

Still a lot of work to be done, but geothermal’s future looks bright. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For 2024, we've been looking at @asmedotorg.bsky.social Engineering Landmarks—what makes them noteworthy, and in some cases what's happened to them since their designation. This month, our Cathy Cecere spoke with Chuck Hull, who invented stereolithography in 1987. www.asme.org/topics-resou...

Hello, World! We're the flagship publication of ASME, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Gonna sit quietly until we figure out what we're doing, social-mediawise.
