We have been lucky in 2018 after the terror that tore across Europe and the UK in 2016 - 2017 with vehicle, knife and bomb attacks happening in Nice, London Bridge, Westminster, Manchester and Barcelona. These are just a few of the places left reeling from a wave of extremism targeting people going about their normal lives and enjoying themselves. The often crudeness of the weaponry used belies the sophistication of many of the attacks. By Phili...

MKS Instruments has announced the OphirFluxGageFG1500, the newest member of the FluxGage family of compact measurement systems for LED luminaires. The FG1500 features an aperture size of 144 x 64cm, allowing for photometric measurement of large-size street and industrial luminaires, LED flat panels, and troffer lights. Photometric measurements include total luminous flux (up to 80,000lm), spectrum and colour parameters (CCT, CRI, TM-30), and flic...

Tackling the energy inefficiency of public buildings, TRIBE developed a mobile game to educate and change behaviour. Its simulation draws on real data to demonstrate the human aspects of building use, such as ingrained attitudes and the pursuit of comfort.According to European Commission figures, approximately 40% of energy consumption comes from buildings, which are also responsible for 36% of the EU’s CO2 emissions.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed a drug-delivery system that allows rapid response to heart attacks without surgical intervention. In laboratory and animal testing, the system proved to be effective at dissolving clots, limiting long-term scarring to heart tissue and preserving more of the heart’s normal function.

Removing metal contamination is critical in any processing and packaging line. Unwanted metals not only result in costly damage to machinery, loss of productivity and downtime but can impact a company’s reputation on product quality.

Only 17% of employees in the tech sector are women out of the 2.1 million people, so how does the industry plan to solve this? Well recognition is a start, and last weekend we saw the International Women in Engineering Day 2018, and it is safe to say there has been a real buzz about encouraging more women into the industry – which is fantastic to see.

A laboratory technique that turns human stem cells into brain-like tissue now recapitulates human brain development more accurately than ever, according to a study from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. The study, published in Nature Methods, demonstrates how to grow brain 'organoids'—self-organising mini spheres that now contain all the major cell types found in the human cerebral cortex—in laboratory dishes.

It has been announced by SHENMAO America that they are introducing the PF606-PW215 water soluble solder paste. The company offers a full line of water soluble fluxes and solder pastes for SMT and IC packaging applications.

During London Tech Week Mike Butcher, editor at Tech Crunch hosted a panel evening with Clare Gilmartin, CEO at Trainline, Amali de Alwis, CEO at Code First: Girls, Ana Avaliani, of the Royal Academy of Engineering and Chi Onwurah, Shadow Minister for Industrial Strategy, Science and Innovationto discuss the real reasons why there aren’t enough women in technology and what we can do about it.

When we talk about wearable technology being used in elite sport, it’s almost always in a positive light. Advancements in that sphere have proved an invaluable modern tool for coaches and athletes alike, from feedback on performance, to monitoring of physiological parameters in order to keep a check on an athlete’s physical condition. A startup has even come up with a head-up display (HUD), to go inside a swimmers goggles.
