Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a new 3D system to study human infection in the laboratory.The team, which includes infection researchers, engineers and bioinformaticians in Southampton and University College London, have used an electrostatic encapsulation technique to make tiny 3D spheres within which human cells are infected with tuberculosis (TB) bacteria to generate conditions that more closely reflect events in p...

MKS Instruments has announced new additions to the Ophir Integrating Sphere series of products. Designed for measuring divergent and collimated light sources, such as laser diodes and LEDs, the Ophir Integrating Spheres are integrating sphere and photodiode sensor systems for measuring the optical power of divergent, narrowband light sources.

The IoT phenomenon is allowing the collection of data from sensor nodes practically anywhere in the environment, and giving non-electronic objects the ability to communicate, opening up a whole sphere of applications for electronic systems. Selecting batteries for IoT connected systems can be tricky, as there is such a wide variety of application types.

Although scientists have been able to levitate specific types of material, a pair of UChicago undergraduate physics students helped take the science to a new level.Third-year Frankie Fung and fourth-year Mykhaylo Usatyuk led a team of UChicago researchers who demonstrated how to levitate a variety of objects—ceramic and polyethylene spheres, glass bubbles, ice particles, lint strands and thistle seeds—between a warm plate and a cold p...

A new interactive communications platform has been launched by Bosch Rexroth, which is aiming to play a key role in the adoption of smart manufacturing in the UK.As part of the company’s Industry 4.0 ready products, software and solutions, ActiveCockpit collates, filters and visualises data continuously, enabling operators to react quickly to any changes to the production process.

Research provides scientists looking at single molecules or into deep space a more accurate way to analyse imaging data captured by microscopes, telescopes and other devices.The improved method for determining the position of objects captured by imaging systems is the result of new research by scientists at the University of Chicago.

Adhesive mechanisms in the natural world, as used by geckos and other animals when they walk upside down on the ceiling, have many advantages: they are always strongly adhesive -- and without any glues or residues. Scientists at Kiel University are researching how these mechanisms can be artificially created. An interdisciplinary research team from Materials Science, Chemistry and Biology has now succeeded in developing a bioinspired adhesive mat...

Pulmospheres, three dimensional multicellular spheroids composed of lung cells from individual patients, were shown to be effective in predicting the efficacy of medications for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, according to findings from University of Alabama at Birmingham scientists presented in JCI Insight, a journal of the American Society for Clinical Investigation.

Infineon Technologies is key for the automated and electric car. An appropriate charging infrastructure is critical to support the rapidly growing electric vehicles market worldwide. As the world’s leading semiconductor supplier for driver assistance systems and electric mobility Infineon supports the global standardisation of charging infrastructure for hybrid and electric vehicles. Infineon has joined the global Charging Interface Initiat...

A team of researchers at Kiel University has developed technology that emulates the way a gecko uses its toes to cling to flat surfaces. In their paper published Science Robotics, the team describes their adhesive, how well it works and possible applications.Geckos are famous for their ability to walk up flat surfaces such as glass with little apparent effort—this ability has fascinated scientists for many years, inciting some to attempt to...
