Future-proofing IoT security
The Connect Security World exhibition that took place in Marseille, France, in September, saw SecureRF Corporation, a provider of quantum-resistant security tools for the Internet of Things (IoT), present its future-proof authentication and data protection technology to the international IoT security community.
Robot wears different outfits for different tasks
From butterflies that sprout wings to hermit crabs that switch their shells, many animals must adapt their exterior features in order to survive. While humans don’t undergo that kind of metamorphosis, we often try to create functional objects that are similarly adaptive — including our robots.Despite what you might have seen in “Transformers” movies, though, today’s robots are still pretty inflexible.
3D printed rocket engine part made with two different alloys
Engineers at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, tested NASA's first 3Dprinted rocket engine prototype part made of two different metal alloys through an innovative advanced manufacturing process. NASA has been making and evaluating durable 3Dprinted rocket parts made of one metal, but the technique of 3Dprinting, or additive manufacturing, with more than one metal is more difficult.

Next-gen spinal cord stimulator receives FDA Approval
Medtronic has announced FDA approval and U.S. launch of the Intellis platform for the management of certain types of chronic intractable pain. The Intellis platform was designed to overcome limitations with current spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems, such as battery performance, and can power the EvolveSM workflow*, which standardises guidance and balances high-dose (HD) and low-dose (LD) therapy settings.
Standardising IoT Connectivity by the Kilometer: SIGFOX, LoRa, or LTE?
As everyone is probably tired of hearing, theInternet of Thingsis supposed to connect everyone with everything connectable, everywhere. So far, there's been little tangible evidence of this, as it's being driven initially not by consumers but by industrial, government and other applications that are more difficult to spot.
Smart agriculture in deep space
Paul Golata, Mouser, talks about shaping smarter cities, farming against the grain and intelligent analogue solutions for smart agriculture in deep space.
Cosmic opportunity for radiation research at ESA
Cosmic radiation is considered the main health hazard to human spaceflight and space exploration of the Moon, Mars and beyond, which is why ESA has made cosmic radiation a focus of its research programme.Radiation poses a risk to the human body in the form of cancer, central nervous system disorders, cardiovascular problems and tissue degeneration.
