Looking ahead

Here’s what we have planned for the July issue.

The Convergence of Extended Reality and AI

From real-time transcription for the hard of hearing to AI-powered personal assistants worn on the face, the convergence of AI and extended reality is reshaping accessibility, consumer wearables, and the future of the human–machine interface.

How to Become an Ethical Engineer

With an increased reliance on technology, engineers are facing more ethical dilemmas than ever. It begs an important question: are they prepared to successfully navigate them?

Also: Ion beam testing for nuclear reactor components, a new formula for underwater 3D printing, and multi-stable knit fabrics. Plus, the quarterly R&D Pulse supplement debuts in Mechanical Engineering.

Coming in August and beyond

How engineers are redesigning and retrofitting buildings for sustainability and survivability, how the landscape is changing amid manufacturing reshoring efforts, and redesigning rocket science.
