The radio echoes of a black hole feeding on a star
On the 11th of November, 2014, a global network of telescopes picked up signals from 300 million light years away that were created by a tidal disruption flare — an explosion of electromagnetic energy that occurs when a black hole rips apart a passing star. Since this discovery, astronomers have trained other telescopes on this very rare event to learn more about how black holes devour matter and regulate the growth of galaxies.
Will EVs start to take up SiC and drive prices to parity with silicon?
Wide band-gap devices have yet to break into the EV market in a meaningful way, but the stage is set for them to become the technology of choice as they drop in cost and demonstrate the performance and reliability needed. ByAnup Bhalla, VP Engineering at UnitedSiC.
MIPAQ Pro: the intelligent device for smart grids
Infineon Technologies AGhas optimised its high power intelligent power module (IPM) MIPAQ Pro for the fields of energy storage and smart grid. Customers now profit from complete monitoring and easy scalability of the IPM. Additional features comprise of higher power density, true real time junction temperature detection and secure authentication. An upgraded smart protection and greater design flexibility drastically reduce efforts for the powers...
Are You Ready for Generation Z?
While each new peer group entering the workplace are an evolution of the one before, the arrival of GenerationZ has been awaited with interest.Why? Because Generation Z are the first true digital natives. Even unlike the Millennials, they have never known life before Google, the mobile phone or the internet and their impact on the life of work as we know it, could be explosive. ByMarcus MacNeill, SVP of Product Management, ASG.
Adaptable computing product category launched
Xilinx has announced a new product category called Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP) that goes far beyond the capabilities of an FPGA. An ACAP is a highly integrated multi-core heterogeneous compute platform that can be changed at the hardware level to adapt to the needs of a wide range of applications and workloads. An ACAP’s adaptability, which can be done dynamically during operation, delivers levels of performance and perfor...
Report depicts evolving cybersecurity threat landscape
The 2018 Trustwave Global Security Report has been released by Trustwave and has revealed the top security threats, breaches by industry, and cybercrime trends from 2017.The report is derived from the analysis of billions of logged security and compromise events worldwide, hundreds of hands-on data-breach investigations and internal research. Findings depict improvement in areas such as intrusion to detection however, also showed increased sophis...
3D printed metamaterials for sound and vibration control
Researchers have been pushing the capabilities of materials by carefully designing precise structures that exhibit abnormal properties that can control acoustic or optical waves. However, these metamaterials are constructed in fixed geometries, meaning their unique abilities are always fixed. Now, new 3D printed metamaterial developed by a team led by USC Viterbi researchers can be remotely switched between active control and passive states.
Manufacturers urged to help tackle productivity puzzle
To help boost the UK’s productivity performance, manufacturers are being urged to help and try and get manufacturing productivity growth back on trend by taking part in a major work programme being carried out by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation which will feed into the Autumn Budget Statement.
Does your hotel pass these three mobility challenges?
As sectors and industries grow, it was bound to happen sooner than later that they start coming together. Therefore, as the IoT, room automation, artificial intelligence and virtual assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa are making headway in the hotels and hospitality sector, it is clear that none of this would be possible without the right foundation of secure connectivity.
EEF Manufacturing conference: security, smart cities and Brexit
At this year’s EEF Manufacturing conference it is safe to say, the day did not disappoint. With a lot riding on the consequences to UK industry and companies with Brexit looming, the largest number of people to date attended the day to hear answers and truths about what the professionals and our Government think it will happen.With speeches from Liam Fox Secretary of State, and Leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn, there was a definite fe...
