3I/ATLAS speeding across the solar system toward a vortex in deep space

3I/ATLAS: A Cosmic Visitor or Something More?

What We Know (and What We Don’t) About 3I/ATLAS

The universe occasionally throws us a curveball and in the case of 3I/ATLAS, that curve is coming from outside our solar system.

Officially classified as the third known interstellar object ever detected, 3I/ATLAS is hurtling through space on a hyperbolic path that confirms one thing for certain: it’s not from around here. So, what can it be?

At PRV Engineering, we’re not astronomers or a space agency, but we do support the aerospace sector with high-precision engineering and fabrication. And when interstellar anomalies like this hit the headlines, it’s not just science fiction fans who pay attention but also engineers, physicists, and futurists alike.

So, what is 3I/ATLAS? Here’s what we know, what we don’t, and the theories (mainstream, speculative, and wild) that surround this cosmic visitor.

Climate Change Impact | Modern office surrounded by wind turbines and solar panels sits atop a hidden mining pit with e-waste and rare earth machinery, symbolising the hidden cost of green energy

Climate Change or Climate Cash Cow?

Climate Change, Carbon Taxes, and the Perspective Not Many Talk About

Climate change is no longer just a scientific discussion, it’s an economic weapon, a political tool, and a personal cost for many.

At PRV Engineering, we don’t take sides in ideological debates. We do, however, deal in facts, systems, and solutions but when the facts are being manipulated, or profit is being prioritised over people, it’s time we all take things a little more seriously.

Because yes, the climate is changing.
And yes, humans have made it worse.
But no, the current response isn’t entirely about saving the planet.

It’s also about controlling the narrative, taxing the symptoms, and engineering a new economy based on fear.

Nuclear Fusion Engineering: The Race for Clean Energy Just Got Real

What Is Nuclear Fusion Engineering?

Nuclear fusion engineering is the field of designing, developing, and constructing reactors that replicate the sun’s energy production on Earth. Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms to release energy, fusion forces hydrogen isotopes together at temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius. The result? Massive energy output, minimal long-term waste, and no carbon emissions from the reaction itself.

It’s the holy grail of clean energy but it’s also one of the most difficult feats of engineering in history.

Until now.

AI Impact on Engineering Jobs: What Engineers Need to Know Right Now

Is the AI Impact on Engineering Jobs a Threat or an Opportunity?

The AI impact on engineering jobs is no longer a distant theory, it’s happening right now. As artificial intelligence becomes more embedded in design tools, data analysis, and documentation processes, engineers across disciplines are asking: is this the next leap forward or a warning sign of displacement?

With real-world data from Microsoft’s Copilot study now shedding light on how AI is actually being used in engineering workflows, it’s clear that the conversation has shifted from hype to hard evidence. The challenge isn’t whether engineers will be replaced—but how their roles will evolve.

Timber Construction: Sustainable Innovation or Hidden Environmental Cost?

Timber Construction Is Having a Moment—But What’s Driving the Trend?

The construction industry is undergoing a quiet revolution. In the wake of increasing demand for low-carbon materials, timber construction is being hailed as a frontrunner in the race to decarbonise buildings. Known for being lightweight, renewable, and easy to work with, timber is turning heads in commercial and public projects—from schools and offices to high-rise flats.

But behind the sleek wooden facades and impressive carbon offset claims lies a more complex story.

The Truth Behind Plastic Recycling

Plastic Recycling Challenges: The Engineering Limits No One Talks About

Plastic Recycling Is Broken—And It’s Not Your Fault

For decades, we’ve been told to rinse, sort, and recycle to save the planet. Entire campaigns have guilt-tripped consumers into believing that plastic pollution exists because we don’t try hard enough. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: plastic recycling was never designed to succeed at scale.

The real culprits? Chemical complexity, engineering constraints, and an economic model that rewards virgin plastic over circular systems.

What’s New in the UK Defence Industry?

Defence Industry Innovation: Why Precision Engineering is the Backbone of Modern Warfare

The UK defence industry is at a turning point. In the face of unprecedented global threats, the UK is investing heavily in new defence technologies (DefTech). This includes everything from laser weapon systems and autonomous platforms to cyber resilience and electrification. All of these defence industry innovations are backed by strategic reforms, a sharp increase in funding, and the launch of new organisations designed to fast-track defence capability from concept to deployment.
