Worldwide battery market expected to be worth $100bn by 2025
By 2025 the worldwide battery market is expected to reach a value of $100bn. This fast growing market can be difficult to get your head around, so to help Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) better understand, professional battery manufacturerAccutronics has released a whitepaper explaining the features of the worldwide, UK, French and German battery market.The whitepaper looks at the growth, composition and future of the worldwide battery ma...
Holograms could be used to detect signs of life in space
The journal Astrobiology has published a special issue dedicated to the search for signs of life on Saturn's icy moon Enceladus. Included is a paper from Caltech's Jay Nadeau and colleagues offering evidence that a technique called digital holographic microscopy, which uses lasers to record 3D images, may be our best bet for spotting extraterrestrial microbes.No probe since NASA's Viking program in the late 1970s has explicitly searched for extra...

Teenage mum turned into global engineering inspiration
Formerly a teenage mother with no qualifications, Jan Ward CBE is now Chair of Energy and Utility Skills Group and CEO of her own international engineering business, and has lent her inspirational voice to encourage females to consider roles that were once the preserve of males.
Biological tool improves studying of the processes of life
Scientists have developed a new biological tool for examining molecules - the building blocks of life - which they say could provide new insights and other benefits such as reducing the numbers of animals used in experiments.The University of Leeds in collaboration with Avacta Life Sciences, a Leeds spin-out company has developed tools, called Affimer technology, which can replicate the work of animal-derived antibodies traditionally used to help...
The future of engineering demands diversity
There are current changes taking place in the science and technology landscape that are like nothing we have ever seen before; or actually, that we have seen since the industrial revolution over 200 years ago.With International Women in Engineering Daytaking place last week, Steven Gillard, Head of Government Affairs at Boeing UK & Ireland talks about the future of diversity in engineering.

Boosting quality of patient MRIs unveil stroke outcomes
People who suffer a stroke often undergo a brain scan at the hospital, allowing doctors to determine the location and extent of the damage. Researchers who study the effects of strokes would love to be able to analyse these images, but the resolution is often too low for many analyses.
Welcome to the dawn of the digital transformer
The humble transformer is undergoing a digital evolution, having been introduced over 130 years ago, that will enable better analysis of power usage and unit lifespan.No matter how good a piece of technology is, there comes a time when it needs to evolve. The creation of the distribution transformer in the early 1880s was a technological marvel. For the first time, it allowed the high voltage flowing through the national grid to be safely and eff...
Modelling the brain with 'Lego bricks'
Researchers from the University of Luxembourg, in cooperation with the University of Strasbourg, have developed a computational method that could be used to guide surgeons during brain surgery.Surgeons often operate in the dark. They have a limited view of the surface of the organ, and can typically not see what lies hidden inside. Quality images can routinely be taken prior to the surgery, but as soon as the operation begins, the position of the...
