A simulator of a Chinook helicopter, bringing together VR and an inflatable enclosure, has been conceived to help to support the future training of the UK Armed Forces' Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT). The University of Birmingham's Human Interface Technology (HIT) team designed the high-tech solution to help medical personnel to train for battlefield incidents that require emergency medicine, often administered in the back of the helicopt...

Using the latest cutting edge technology in elite sports is something that has been well documented, and here at Electronic Specifier we have covered a variety of stories from an early warning system used in rugby to assist in detecting and avoiding concussions to football coaches using drones to give them an alternative view of training sessions.

A team of material scientists from the University of Melbourne and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has shown for the first time how gravity influences the formation of crystals in Metal-Organic Frameworks. These are nano-sized synthetic structures riddled with molecular holes that are at the forefront of materials science.

STMicroelectronics is showcasing its latest products and technologies for the mobile, wearable and IoT applications in Hall N1 Booth E50 at Mobile World Congress Shanghai, 29thJune to 1st July, 2016.

All mechanical systems in the real world experience some level of shock and vibration and these forces can take their toll on products (and people). Therefore, design engineers have always had a driving interest in finding ways to better understand our world in motion. California-based Diversified Technical Systems (DTS) look into the technology that is available in order to do this.

The industry’s first software framework for embedded systems to automatically support networks generated by TensorFlow has been introduced by CEVA. The CDNN2 (CEVA Deep Neural Network), is a 2nd gen neural network software framework for machine learning.

A new global design contest is due to kick off this summer, as announced by PowerVision. The PowerEgg Design Challenge aims to inspire both professional and amateur designers to submit outstanding external designs for the pioneering and elegant PowerEgg flying robot, PowerVision’s first consumer drone.

There are few sports where technology has been a bigger catalyst for change over the last 15-20 years than football – driving a seismic shift in attitudes towards coaching, nutrition, player physiology and health – particularly in England.

At INTERSOLAR 2015, Markus Köhler, the managing director of FLYING INSPECTION SERVICE, found himself hustling for new orders. This year, however, things are all set to be different: the know-how of the company from the town of Blankenburg in Saxony-Anhalt is both new and highly sought after in the sector.

The best young engineers in the UK will design and build a UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System), also known as a drone, as part of the annual competition run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. A UAS is an aircraft without a human pilot on-board. They are predominantly known for their use in military and special operations, such as delivering humanitarian aid.
