In what the company believes to be a ground-breaking development, NTT DOCOMO has developed a spherical drone display - an unmanned aerial vehicle that displays LED images on an omnidirectional spherical screen while in flight.

Chemical computers are becoming ever more of a reality-this is being demonstrated by scientists from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. It turns out that after an appropriate teaching procedure even a relatively simple chemical system can perform non-trivial operations. In their most recent computer simulations researchers have shown that correctly programmed chemical matrices of oscillating droplets ...

The definition of ‘system’ and ‘integration’ can have varied answers, and there are even more definitions of a ‘system integrator’: For example, when the client has explained what the goals of a project are, it is then up to the system integrator to translate those (usually function, price and performance) goals into a physical structure and a control platform. One that will not only deliver what the client is ...

Solmates has announced that it has received an order for two of its new SMP800 Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) systems from materials science institute, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).Solmates’ wafer based R&D PLD platform is the next step beyond fundamental PLD research. The flexible and reliable hardware enables fast process optimisation and allows uniform thin film deposition at wafer diameters up ...

A team of scientists has discovered that a law controlling the bizarre behaviour of black holes out in space is also true for cold helium atoms that can be studied in laboratories."It'scalled an entanglement area law," says Adrian Del Maestro, a physicist at the University of Vermont who co-led the research. That this law appears at both the vast scale of outer space and at the tiny scale of atoms, "is weird," Del Maestro says, "and it points to ...

The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology said it has completed a four-week test of its Stored Energy in the Sea (StEnSEA) concept. Fraunhofer said it recovered its three-meter diameter hollow sphere from the bottom of Lake Constance on the Swiss-German border, where it had been operating at a depth of about 100 meters. The technology uses water pressure to drive electromechanical pump components within a central tube ...

Attention towards electromagnetic pollution has grown exponentiallyin the last decade.According to studies and relative guidelines released by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection), the EU implemented the directive 2013/35/EU on 1stJuly 2016. The directive sets safety and health requirements about the exposition of workers and general public to electromagnetic radiations.

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a technique that uses light to get 2D plastic sheets to curve into 3D structures, such as spheres, tubes or bowls.The advance builds on earlier work by the same research team, which focused on self-folding 3D structures. The key advance here is that rather than having the plastic fold along sharp lines-into polygonal shapes such as cubes or pyramids-the plastics bend and curve.

The brain is soft and electronics are stiff, which can make combining the two challenging, such as when neuroscientists implant electrodes to measure brain activity and perhaps deliver tiny jolts of electricity for pain relief or other purposes.A robotic test instrument stretches over a curved surface a nearly transparent, flexible electrode based on a special plastic developed in the lab of Stanford chemical engineer Zhenan Bao.

The Ceramics Expo and Conference, taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, on 25th-27th April, will explore the latest trends and innovations in bioceramic technology.
