Liquid crystal could triple sharpness of televisions
An international team of researchers has developed a new blue-phase liquid crystal that could enable televisions, computer screens and other displays that pack more pixels into the same space while also reducing the power needed to run the device. The new liquid crystal is optimised for field-sequential color liquid crystal displays (LCDs), a promising technology for next-generation displays.
'Ghost particles' could improve understanding the universe
Trillions of neutrinos, or ghost particles, are passing through us every second. While scientists know this fact, they don't know what role neutrinos play in the universe because they are devilishly hard to measure.New measurements of neutrino oscillations, observed at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, have shed light on outstanding questions regarding fundamental properties of neutrinos.
Industrial camera features USB 3.0 interface
The Imaging Source has just announced the introduction of a newly developed 42 megapixel industrial camera featuring a USB 3.0 interface.Based on the newest high-resolution CMOS technology, the camera features exceptional image andcolourquality as well as automaticcolourcorrection. Via the integrated HDR mode, the camera captures image details previously unobtainable using other cameras - even under the most challenging lighting conditions.
Next generation satellite components get smaller and lighter
As satellite communications (Satcoms) moves ever upwards in terms of frequency, so systems tend to move down the scale when it comes to weight and size. Whilst Naval platforms, such as ships, retain their overall size, reducing the above the water mass leads to increased stability. Whilst airborne platform have always sought the lightest components, in-vehicle and man-pack communications systems are the latest users of lightweight components, wri...
Security is industry’s second nature
Back in December 2015 hackers hijacked the electrical systems of three major Ukrainian power distributors, and over 230,000 people were left without power for several hours.The uncertainty caused by the attack lasted much longer, especially since employees in both engineering and IT teams alike were initially unclear about how the hackers managed to infiltrate the system.
The Bearing Doctor App can heal all your problems
A new free-to-download app has been launched by bearing manufacturer NSK, for maintenance engineers and technicians tasked with troubleshooting machinery or equipment featuring rolling bearings.The Bearing Doctor app for smartphones and tablets, is designed to help identify issues at an early stage, thus allowing preventative measures to be taken before costly failures occur.
A manufacturers take on and strategy for Brexit
It puts your mind at ease a bit when you know companies are starting to re-shore their manufacturing back to the UK- aluminium casting and automotive water pump manufacturer Mark Water Pumps can attest to this.However, according to David Lewis (pictured), Plant Manager at MWP, UK business will still have to work harder to remain competitive and retain customers in the Brexit era.
Flemish government supports local innovation
The research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technology, imec, and the Flemish government have announced a five year strategic commitment that aims at strengthening the pioneering role of Flanders’ research hub.
Positrons are the latest tool for lithium ion battery research
Rechargeable lithium batteries with cathodes comprising nickel, manganese, and cobalt, are viewed as the most potent today. But they, too, have a limited lifespan. Already in the first cycle they lose up to ten percent of their capacity. Why this happens and what can be done to alleviate the ensuing gradual loss of capacity has now been investigated in detail by a team of scientists using positrons at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
