A startling statistic from the European Commission’s gender diversity survey: when it comes to European start-ups, 83% of start-up founders are male. At the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT), we want to see more women entrepreneurs: more female ownership of start ups, and more businesses owned by women. It’s about equality and social inclusion, it is also about a good economic sense and using Europe’s bigge...

Optical Surfaces has reported how a motorised UV-Vis-NIR collimator and interferometric alignment system it supplied to the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) in Berlin, Germany has been used to set-up the ground breaking DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS).

IDTechEx Research have reviewed the potential evolution roadmap of material technologies in emissive displays. First, fluorescent OLED materials were developed. These offered narrow emission, maturity, and stability, but suffered from low internal quantum efficiency (IQE) due to their inability to harvest the so-called triplet states.

How are the ethics of artificial intelligence shaping our world? Can these ‘thinking machines’ be taught to be more human? Is it safe to use AI in automated diagnosis in medicine? And what are the ethical considerations of these developments?

NewTek LVDTs aim to provide accurate position feedback in the monitoring and control of valves in many applications such as chemical plants, power plants on steam and gas turbines, hydroelectric stations and even agricultural equipment. The LVDT converts the linear position of a valve to a proportional electrical output readable by monitors and control systems.

The growth in world population is placing increased demands on agricultural production. This is one of the major challenges of modern agriculture, now in the midst of major transformation. Now that "intelligent" and connected equipment is becoming available on the market, answers to these needs are now within reach, while at the same time addressing environmental concerns.

Infineon Technologies AG introduced the new IGBT7 chip for its well-known Easy housing platform in March. Now it is taking the TRENCHSTOP IGBT7 to the arena of medium power: in the standard industry package EconoDUAL 3. In this chip technology, the 1200V module provides a leading nominal current of 900A enabling a 30% higher inverter output current for the same frame size compared with the former technology.

Based on recent forecasts, the annual 2019 semiconductor market will decline about 12-15% from 2018, the biggest drop since a 32% decline in 2001, eighteen years ago. However, the momentum is trending up. According to World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) the market began the year with a 14.7% plunge in 1Q 2019 from 4Q 2018. The market was up a slight 0.7% in 2Q 2019 and up a strong 8.2% in 3Q 2019. Most of the 2019 falloff was due to memor...

Functional safety coupled with high reliability and compact design is a crucial requirement in safety-related applications typically found in construction and agricultural equipment and vehicles and machines for specialist applications. Hoping to meet these needs EAO has introduced a new series of high-quality ruggedised CAN Bus Keypads and Rotary Cursor Controller Joystick modules.

Variohm EuroSensor's new EPT31LE series pressure sensor features fast power-up and response times and a low power consumption that suits mobile equipment pressure monitoring used in combination with battery and/or solar powered wireless transmitting systems.
