The teenagers writing the code for a self-driving future
Tomorrow’s engineers are learning to code self-driving vehicles of the future today thanks to the unique Land Rover 4x4 in Schools programme.Self-driving cars will require an estimated one billion lines of computer code1 – almost 1,000 times more than the 145,000 lines required by NASA to land Apollo 11 on the moon2. To meet the growing need for more coders to deliver these future autonomous and connected vehicles, Jaguar Land Rover i...

Certification to continue serving defence industries renewed
Naprotek hasannounced that it has successfully renewed its AS9100D certification. With this milestone, together with the ISO 9001:2015 certification, Naprotek maintains the appropriate, consensus-driven quality benchmarks to serve the aviation, space and defence industries.
The rise of electroceramics
Across a diverse range of industries, devices, consumer goods, and mission-critical systems, we rely variously on the electrical (for instance, dielectric, piezoelectric, resistive), optical, and magnetic properties offered by technical ceramics. Advances have been numerous and this will be reflected by many of the lines offered at Ceramics Expo 2019.
