The 2018 tradeshow and conference that is LIGHTFAIR International (LFI) will take place in Chicago, in a strategic move designed to accommodate its continuing growth, according to Jeffrey L. Portman, Senior Vice Chairman, President and Chief Operating Officer of LFI managing partner AmericasMart Atlanta.

There are plenty of people out there starting 2017 with the motto ‘new year, new me’ and while predictions and resolutions may be fun, hardly any of them will be carried out, and they won’t help get your job done.Here Duane Benson, Chief Technology Champion at Screaming Circuits is sharing eight pieces of PCB assembly advice for this year that you can stick to.

An innovative platform that allows users to connect smart devices from different manufacturers and displays data on an easy-to-use, intuitive dashboard has been launched by Conrad Business Supplies. The platform, Conrad Connect, is ideal for operations managers and maintenance workers to record user data, monitor and manage many different smart devices.

By suspending tiny metal nanoparticles in liquids, Duke University scientists are brewing up conductive ink-jet printer "inks" to print inexpensive, customisable circuit patterns on just about any surface.

In order to upgrade the lighting at two depots owned by Marshall Fleet Solutions,Venture Lighting Europe’s industrial luminaires have been used.Over 50 of Venture’s 150W Highbay Professional luminaires were used across the two sites to upgrade the company’s lighting scheme from 400W Metal Halide lamps to help achieve the company’s aim to reduce its energy consumption.

The JN5169 ZigBee Expansion kits from NXP Semiconductors are equipped with NXP’s pre-certifiedZigBee and IEEE802.15.4 JN5169 wireless microcontroller. These kits, which are in stock atMouser Electronics, enable designers to rapidly introduce ZigBee-enabled wireless products without the need for advanced radio frequency (RF) design skills.

Scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have discovered a way to use diamondoids – the smallest possible bits of diamond – to assemble atoms into the thinnest possible electrical wires, just three atoms wide.

For the first time, researchers have created LEDs on lightweight flexible metal foil.Engineers at The Ohio State University are developing the foil based LEDs for portable ultraviolet (UV) lights that soldiers and others can use to purify drinking water and sterilise medical equipment.In the journal Applied Physics Letters, the researchers describe how they designed the LEDs to shine in the high-energy "deep" end of the UV spectrum.

Lighting manufacturers are being urged to pay greater attention to lighting control detectors, in order to pass on improved energy savings to customers.That’s the advice from CP Electronics, as it unveils its new dedicated OEM brochure, designed specifically to address the needs of the OEM market. The document outlines the company’s wide range of lighting control detectors and systems, which are designed to help OEMs maximise the ener...

Using LED lights flickering at a specific frequency, MIT researchers have shown that they can substantially reduce the beta amyloid plaques seen in Alzheimer’s disease, in the visual cortex of mice.This treatment appears to work by inducing brain waves known as gamma oscillations, which the researchers discovered help the brain suppress beta amyloid production and invigorate cells responsible for destroying the plaques.
