Masters course creates army of cyber security experts
A new Masters course on offer at the University of Sunderland will equip the next-gen of cyber security experts with the skills to combat the increasing threat of online crime and cyber crime incidents.Cyber crime is now a top priority for the UK Government with the opening of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) last month, part of intelligence agency GCHQ, to identify threats to individuals and organisations. It’s been reported just ...
Raising an angel back to her glory with smart heli-hook
The heli-lifting of a golden statue of an angel to be return to the top of the church spire where she came from in Surrey has been aided by an intelligent cargo hook.The church built back in the 1950s, had the statue added as part of a recent major refurbishment and extension project. The cargo hook was fitted with a HeliNav LoadMaster made by Sensor Technology. This feeds the pilot with live information about the load hanging beneath his aircraf...
Europe to push new laws to access encrypted apps data
As from June the European Commission will push for access to data stored in the cloud by encrypted apps, according to EU Justice Commissioner Věra Jourová.Claiming that politician across Europe have been pushing for this, speaking publicly Jourová said that she will outline ‘three or four options’ that range from voluntary agreements by business to strict legislation.
Dark matter detection receives 10-ton upgrade
In an abandoned gold mine one mile beneath Lead, South Dakota, the cosmos quiets down enough to potentially hear the faint whispers of the universe’s most elusive material — dark matter.Shielded from the deluge of cosmic rays constantly showering the Earth’s surface, and scrubbed of noisy radioactive metals and gasses, the mine, scientists think, will be the ideal setting for the most sensitive dark matter experim...
Industry 4.0: affecting industries, markets and trade fairs
Industry 4.0 is increasingly blurring the lines between the various sectors of industry, while innovation cycles continue to get shorter. These are trends that manufacturers around the world cannot afford to ignore, no matter how large or small.HANNOVER MESSE, too, is adapting to this new reality. Up to now, transmission and fluid power technologies have been featured at the fair on a biennial basis. “But the marketplace has changed,”...
SDRAM memories have integrated error correction
Memory manufacturer, Intelligent Memory,has released DRAMs in traditional SDRAM-technology with on-chip ECC functionalities. As IM started off their ECC DRAM series with DDR1, DDR2, DDR3 and LPDDR technologies originally, now coming up with SDRAM-devices sounds like a technological step backward.
Time crystal is the latest form of matter
Salt, snowflakes and diamonds are all crystals, meaning their atoms are arranged in 3D patterns that repeat. Scientists are reporting in the journal Nature on the creation of a phase of matter, dubbed a time crystal, in which atoms move in a pattern that repeats in time rather than in space.The atoms in a time crystal never settle down into what's known as thermal equilibrium, a state in which they all have the same amount of heat.
A detailed case for the existence of cold dark matter
A Yale-led team has produced one of the highest-resolution maps of dark matter ever created, offering a detailed case for the existence of cold dark matter - sluggish particles that comprise the bulk of matter in the universe.The dark matter map is derived from Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields data of a trio of galaxy clusters that act as cosmic magnifying glasses to peer into older, more distant parts of the universe, a phenomenon known as...
Meet Walt, the cobot helping coworkers keep safe
A new approach to human-robot interaction in industrial environments has been presented by imec, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), University of Hasselt and five industry partners. Introducing new adaptive control software and using gestures to improve human-machine communication, Walt, a collaborative robot (cobot) has been developed that works alongside its human co-workers in a safe and flexible way. Audi Brussels, one of the project partners,...
BrakeFree: the smart brake light for motorcyclists
Brake Free is a bright smart LED brake light that instantly improves a motorcycle's visibility. It mounts on the back of the helmet you already own and its sensors works automatically to let others know whenever you slow down - braking, engine braking, or downshifting.
