A car crash simulator device has been used by young people in the Leicester and Rutland areas to try and reduce the number of road traffic accidents.According to First Car, drivers under 25 are most likely to be in a collision, with Friday and Saturday being peak times for crashes.

Industrial cooking, heating and drying processes will benefit from replacing decades old technology with modern electronic RF energy systems based on the latest GaN-on-Si technology, writes Sally Ward-Foxton.

The air was hot and gritty. Shehazvi had to squint to see past the sun into the edge of town, past the cars and motorcycles whizzing by, past the scorched earth, to where old buildings stood beautiful in their own way, muted pinks and oranges still curving and curling in all the right places. No rain again today. She and her daughter climbed out of the rickshaw and walked down the alley that leads to their home, 200 rupees lighter than when they ...

This year’s PCIM exhibition introduced a whole host of new power products, technologies and applications. Sally Ward-Foxton reports from Nuremberg.This year’s PCIM (power conversion, intelligent motion) exhibition in Nuremberg brought together 436 exhibitors and more than 10,000 visitors from around the world to share the latest in power products, technologies and applications.

Industry-acclaimed SiC power electronics from STMicroelectronics has enabled the creation of ZapCharger Portable, the world’s smallest, smartest and safest electric-car charging station from start-up Zaptec. The market-first portable electric-car charger with built-in electronic transformer, ZapCharger works with any electric car on any power grid.

Today's robots are awkward co-workers because they are often unable to predict what humans need. In hospitals, robots are employed to perform simple tasks such as delivering supplies and medications, but they have to be explicitly told what to do. A team from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) thinks that this will soon change, and that robots might be most effective by helping humans perform one of the most com...

An addition to SICK UK’s family of image-based code readers has been introduced as the Lector 630, which offers a compact high-resolution reader.

A computer scientist with a passion for horses has embarked on an interdisciplinary animal-computer interaction research project which could help us understand what animals are thinking and feeling. Dr Steve North, a Research Fellow in the MRL at The University of Nottingham, is developing a Horse Automated Behaviour Identification Tool (HABIT) – animal-computer interaction software.

ROHM Semiconductor has introduced an SiC power module rated at 1,200V/180A based on the company’s completely inhouse supply chain capacities and advanced packaging capabilities. The BSM180D12P3C007 half-bridge SiC module integrates mass-produced trench-type SiC MOSFETs and SiC SBDs in the same footprint as previous modules.

Following investment in Monolith Semiconductor, Littelfuse has set out its roadmap for SiC and IGBT development. The company offers IGBT modules rated up to 1,700V and 600A which are suitable for industrial drives, UPS, solar inverters, EVs and welding machines.
