Let's promote electronics to A-Level physics students
Did you know theUK has the sixth-largest Electronics industry in the world? With an annual turnover of £9bn and over 1,000,000 related jobs. It contributes six percent of the UK’s GDP, making the sector strategically important to the economic success of the UK. Electronics is essential to enable future technologies, including the IoT, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, wearables and renewables.
Cyber threats to keep businesses awake at night
Like natural disasters, a cyber attack can potentially impact hundreds of companies and incidents have escalated. Cyber incidents (#1 with 60% of responses) are this year’s top business risk in the UK, according to theAllianz Risk Barometer 2018. So-called 'cyber hurricane' events, where hackers disrupt large numbers of companies through common internet infrastructure dependencies, are increasing.
'Brain-to-vehicle' tech could predict driver behaviour
Tragically, many serious auto accidents were only milliseconds away from being prevented. Piloting a multi-tonne automobile is a game of inches, especially at high speeds. The difference between a major collision and a close call can be the amount of time between when a driver thinks about hitting the brakes or turning the wheel, and the time it takes him or her to actually do it.

Caltech and Disney engineers collaborate on robotics
Caltech and Disney Research have entered into a joint research agreement to pioneer robotic control systems and further explore artificial intelligence technologies.The agreement creates a framework that will allow researchers and engineers at Caltech and Disney Research to easily collaborate on projects of mutual interest. The three-year agreement officially began with projects focused on developing robots with new autonomous movement capabiliti...
Smart driving solutions to be showcased at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD
STMicroelectronics will exhibit its latest semiconductor solutions for smart driving at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2018. The automotive industry is witnessing rapid advances in the development of technologies such as autonomous driving, Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and power management in Electric Vehicles (EVs).
Alien ocean helps test NASA outer space submarine
Engineers know how to design submarines on Earth, but building one gets a lot trickier when the temperature drops to -300ºF and the ocean is made of methane and ethane.Washington State University researchers are working with NASA to determine how a submarine might work on Titan, the largest of Saturn’s many moons and the second largest in the solar system. The space agency plans to launch a real submarine into Titan seas in the next 20...
Robots could think and plan in the abstract
Researchers from Brown University and MIT have developed a method for helping robots plan for multi-step tasks by constructing abstract representations of the world around them. Their study, published in theJournal of Artificial Intelligence Research, is a step toward building robots that can think and act more like people.Planning is a monumentally difficult thing for robots, largely because of how they perceive and interact with the world.
Anatomy of a 5G smart city
As smart city technologies begin to emerge in volume, their network requirements will have to cope with 5G workloads, and will need to do that in a 5G way.This monthRethink Internet of Things (Riot) takes an in-depth look at a smart city approach which is built around the municipality’s own fibre, Software Defined Networks and cloud analytics software – a system which will survive the transition into a 5G world, as it searches for a f...
High performance automotive solution for autonomous driving
