Of all things that contemporary science is capable of observing in the universe, nothing outperforms the human brain or can even be compared to it in terms of functionality, plasticity and efficiency. The brain is a massively parallel processor of information, consuming an amount of energy on the order of a femtojoules (10-15 J) per synaptic event. As a comparison, an ordinary 100 W bulb consumes one hundred quadrillion times more energy per seco...

By 2027, mobile robotics in material handling and logistics will have become a $75bn market. It will then more than double by 2038. These staggering headline figures mask turbulent transformative change underneath: some technologies will rise and transform the fortunes of industries, fuelling growth rates far outpacing recent trends, whilst others will face with decay and obsolescence. We are at the beginning of the beginning of a transformative ...

This week’s 5G World event, in London, will see 5G-Courses, a 5G and IoT Training provider, announce the expansion of its training team.“This is an important milestone in our company’s growth and competence building. Our strategy to tightly cover every aspect of successful 5G deployment and delivery is moving to a higher level. The successfully received pioneering course, Internet of Things in 5G, by Professor Mischa Dohler, lai...

IBM has announced it has successfully built and tested its most powerful universal quantum computing processors. The first new prototype processor will be the core for the first IBM Q early-access commercial systems. The first upgraded processor will be available for use by developers, researchers, and programmers to explore quantum computing using a real quantum processor at no cost via the IBM Cloud.

Bob Hillier, Managing Director of PLM software company, Design Rule, offers some best practice advice for companies caught up in the PLM vs ERP debate.The human body contains over 600 muscles and more than 200 bones. Although the muscular and skeletal systems fulfil separate functions, they also work together to facilitate movement. In many ways, the analogy is relevant for companies deciding between implementing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM...

The hugely impressive Lefdal Mine Datacentre (LMD) in Norway has an ambitious vision; it aims to be the most cost-effective, secure, flexible, and green datacentre in Europe.LMD opened on 10th May 2017, and is powered exclusively by low-cost renewable energy.Rittal is a strategic and technology partner, and has provided the datacentre with its top-of-the-range, preconfigured, modular and scalable infrastructure.

Capturing, transmitting and processing data lies at the heart of what has been dubbed 'the fourth industrial revolution'. It’s one of the reasons why cutting-edge connectivity has become so important in factories and similar environments to facilitate new, smarter ways of working, such as predictive maintenance.Connectivity is a feature of Rittal’s new cooling units and chillers and its recent collaboration with Siemens MindSphere and...

IBM, its Research Alliance partners Globalfoundries and Samsung, and equipment suppliers have developed an industry-first process to build silicon nanosheet transistors that will enable 5nm chips. The details of the process will be presented at the 2017 Symposia on VLSI Technology and Circuits conference in Kyoto, Japan. In less than two years since developing a 7nm test node chip with 20 billion transistors, scientists have paved the way for 30 ...

The higher the concentration of tumor cells in the bloodstream, the greater the risk of metastasis. The number of circulating tumour cells indicates how well a patient is responding to therapy. Fraunhofer researchers have developed a new microhole chip that enables cells to be identified and characterised reliably within minutes.The conventional method of FACS analysis (fluorescence-activated cell sorting) provides only a rough estimate of the nu...

As low economic growth is expected to keep the diesel generator set (genset) market subdued until 2020, several factors are sustaining market potential, including the growth of data centres, rising infrastructure investments, low diesel prices due to falling oil prices, and capacity market auctions in the United Kingdom.
