It’s all very well and good to increase the number of female recruits, but diversity – true diversity – is so much more than merely a box-ticking exercise, a statistical pursuit. Ahead of International Women in Engineering Day (23 June), Editor Sophia Bell argues that we don’t only need to boost the number of women entering engineering, but the number of women staying in engineering (p. 4).

In this month’s cover story, discover how the revolutionary cancer treatment system, Sculptura, is transforming cancer therapy with its precise and flexible radiation technology. Supported by the KUKA LBR Med robot, this cutting-edge system targets tumours with unprecedented accuracy, paving the way for a new era of cancer care (pg. 16).

Plus, don’t miss out on our special Electric Vehicles supplement, which explores how battery development will power the future of zero-emission vehicles (p. 28) and breaks down the biggest EV myths (p. 30). Meanwhile, TE Connectivity argues that designing future-ready charging infrastructure requires smart connectors (p. 34) and Magnomatics looks beyond EVs to consider alternative mobility options (p. 32).
