The conventional way of construction faces various challenges like less productivity, restricted design, high construction cost, construction waste, conflict among the construction workers, and prolonged construction time. While the world is moving towards automation, efforts are being made to automate the construction industry through various technologies. Additive manufacturing in construction commonly known as 3D concrete…
Transition Towards Industry 5.0: The world is experiencing the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, one of the future projects that the German government outlined in its 2010 ”High-Tech Strategy 2020” action plan. The end goal was to enhance digitization in smart production and bring automated control under the vision of mass production, like in…
Following the pandemic of 2020, biotechnology has been established as a fast-moving sector often at the frontiers of science. Many scientists and institutes in Pakistan are trying their best in this field to produce fruitful results. Atta-ur-Rahman School of Applied Biosciences (ASAB) at National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) holds a prime position in…
Modern day scientific progress, research and discovery is dependent on computational capability. In many fields, large-scale physical experimentation has been replaced by computational modelling and simulation. The computational approaches reduce cost through eliminating the needs for designing several physical prototypes iteratively. Moreover, the development time can be reduced through improving design maturity by building detailed…
The global freshwater use has increased by a factor of six over the past 100 years [1] and according to the United Nations [2] over two billion people live in countries experiencing water stress. Climate change is making matters worse. As an example, despite a massive deluge in Southern Pakistan in the summer of 2022,…
