For the first time in the UK, the public was invited to trial autonomous electric shuttles operated by Keolis. For a month, passengers were able to try this new mode of ecological transport, which has begun to attract a growing number of cities as it offers a new response to mobility problems in urban centres.

According to a recent report by PwC, within 15 years, Artificial Intelligence will take over 38% of US jobs. This trend is expected to continue. What will employment look like? Which jobs will disappear and what does all of this mean for education?

Researchers have published a paper that demonstrations the first laboratory experiment to use liquid marbles to create collision-based computation in research.The paper, titled "Liquid Marble Interaction Gate for Collision-Based Computing" is published by Elsevier inMaterials Today. The research is led by Professor Andy Adamatzky and Dr Ben De Lacy Costello. LMs are liquid droplets that are encapsulated in a coating of hydrophobic particles (i.e....

Many manufacturers are accustomed to the term Internet of Things (IoT) or Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). If you haven’t already implemented it in your business, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about — is it really going to revolutionise manufacturing in the way that so many articles promise? The short answer is yes.

Reducing machining time during pre-finishing by up to 30%, the new WorkNC high feed rate strategy makes life a lot easier for car-making giant Audi.Vero Software has developed a new WorkNC high feed rate strategy together with the cutting specialists at Audi Toolmaking. With the achievement of Audi reducing processing times in various pre-finishing pressing tools by up to 30% while tool service life has trippled at the same time.

UNSW Sydney scientists have developed a way to control the shape of polymer molecules so they self-assemble into non-spherical nanoparticles - an advance that could improve the delivery of toxic drugs to tumours."Very little in nature is perfectly spherical," says study senior author Professor Pall Thordarson of the UNSW School of Chemistry."Most biological structures like cells, bacteria and viruses come in a variety of shapes including tubes, r...

It's not easy to bounce a single particle of light off a single atom that is less than a billionth of a metre wide. However, researchers at the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore have shown they can double the odds of success, an innovation that might be useful in quantum computing and metrology. The findings were published in Nature Communications.

Andy Bowyer, Director, Kleos Space and Magna Parva, talked about the key effects of space exploration to life on Earth, at the Codex event 'World's Top 50 Innovators from the Industries of the Future', held in London, on the 27th September, 2017.

Sony Semiconductor Solutions has launched the first models featuring its 3rd generation CMOS Global Shutter with the IMX420 and IMX428 image sensors. Both models come with 7MP resolution, with the IMX420 reaching frames rates of up to 170fps at 10bit pixel depth. Both sensors achieve a saturation at 25.000e- for a pixel size of 4.5µm.

It is critical in any processing and packaging lines to remove metal contamination. 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. At this year’s PPMA at the NEC in Birmingham taking place26th-28th September, Eriez Europe will be on stand G24 making their debut at the show showcasing a range of their magnetic separation and meta...
