Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top cabling products to have been released in August.

You could be forgiven for assuming that the space industry is almost entirely male dominated because in the very early days of space exploration, that was mostly true. However, as early as 1963, Russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova became the first of many women in space as part of the Vostok 6 mission. Exactly two decades later, in 1983, Sally Ride flew aboard the Space Shuttle STS-7, becoming the first American female in space. In fact, women...

On February 18th, the Red Planet received its latest visitors in the form of the Perseverance rover, with the Ingenuity helicopter hitching a ride, and NASA has now announced that it is extending the drone's mission on Mars.

The delivery of tomorrow’s clean electricity will be through an infrastructure characterised by diverse and widely distributed generating sites and predicated on technologies that must deliver continuously increasing performance and energy efficiency. Mark Patrick, Mouser Electronics, explains.

DesignCon 2021 has been chosen as the setting for Junkosha to unveil its wide range of cabling solutions, including the MWX6 Series and MWX001, all designed to meet the demands of a 5G/6G digital future. The quest for ever faster data transfer speeds has driven the newest generation of data centre systems to deploy optical fibre between components. The requirement for ultra-high-performance cables to test and monitor the integrity of digital sign...

The women in engineering (WIE) at maxon work eagerly to contribute to the success of advanced technology in the motion control industry. This week in honor of International Women in Engineering Day, 23rd June, 2021 - maxon wishes to thank these engineering women for their contributions as they continue to help shape the world we live in.

Milrem Robotics has secured a European Space Agency (ESA) contract to start applying its autonomy capabilities towards planetary rovers. The current project, planned as the first in a series of projects, is for mapping the current state of the art of planetary rovers and for developing tools to increase planetary rover autonomy using methods Milrem Robotics is currently applying in its terrestrial ecosystem of products. The agreement was signed l...

Philip K. Dick’s 1964 science fiction novel,Martian Time-Slip, imagined a human colony on Mars reliant on waterways, allotments and robots. Today, such quaint sci-fi concepts are actual scientific possibilities now that we better understand the resources that are available on the red planet. Here, Samir Jaber, engineering content writer atMatmatch, examines how materials testing could make or break humanity’s future on Mars.

Space fans are thrilled: NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has successfully completed its pioneering flight on Mars. This is the first time in the history of powered, unmanned spaceflight that a device has flown in a controlled manner on another planet – partly thanks to DC motors that have been modified for this challenge.
