Manufacturer and supplier of advanced electronic components and interconnect, sensor, control, and antenna solutions,AVX, claims that it is the first - and currently only - company to offer space-level, X7R base metal electrode (BME) MLCCs with 'M' and 'T' reliability levels approved to the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA’s) MIL-PRF-32535 specification.

An international team of scientists lead by a PhD student at DTU Space have just confirmed finding nearly 100 new exoplanets.Based on data from NASA’s K2 mission an international team of scientists have just confirmed nearly 100 new exoplanets, planets located outside our solar system. This brings the total number of new exoplanets found with the K2 mission up to almost 300. The new results are to be published in theAstronomical Journal.

A simulation of supermassive black holes uses a realistic scenario to predict the light signals emitted in the surrounding gas before the masses collide, said Rochester Institute of Technology researchers.The study represents the first step toward predicting the approaching merger of supermassive black holes using the two channels of information now available to scientists—the electromagnetic and the gravitational wave spectra—known a...

The IDTechEx Show serves its 2,500 delegates with a combination of closely related topics from sensors, flexible electronics, bioelectronics and IoT to energy storage and electric vehicles. As usual, this year’s event in Berlin 11th-12th April 2018 has important adjustments to reflect important new trends. For example, there is now an 'Off Grid Energy Independence' conference in the nine parallel conferences offered.

Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast have led an international team to the ground-breaking discovery that magnetic waves crashing through the Sun may be key to heating its atmosphere and propelling the solar wind.The Sun is the source of energy that sustains all life on Earth but much remains unknown about it. However, a group of researchers at Queen’s have now unlocked some mysteries in a research paper, which has been published ...

On Tuesday 6thFebruary at 3:45pm the world’s most powerful new space rocket took to the skies. Designed by SpaceX, CEO Elon Musk claims this could mark the end of the commercial spaceflight race. Is this true or is it simply the beginning?Named Falcon Heavy, the rocket flawlessly ascended from Florida into the heavens and is now in an orbit that stretches into the asteroid belt.

In the 1980s, researchers began discovering extremely bright sources of X-rays in the outer portions of galaxies, away from the supermassive black holes that dominate their centers. At first, the researchers thought these cosmic objects—called ultraluminous X-ray sources, or ULXs—were hefty black holes with more than 10 times the mass of the sun.

Although the drone revolution in well underway globally in today’s industry, the association between drones and space is largely unreported.Drones may seem like a relatively new phenomenon, but in fact they have been roaming space for the last 60 years in the form of satellites.

Manufacturerand supplier of passive components, interconnects, sensors, and control solutions, AVX willpresent a technical paper about advances in high reliability conductive polymer capacitors for space applications at the 2018 Microelectronics Reliability and Qualification Working Meeting (MRQW), which will take place 6th–8thFebruary 2018 in El Segundo, California.

Our solar system now is tied for most number of planets around a single star, with the recent discovery of an eighth planet circling Kepler-90, a Sun-like star 2,545 light years from Earth.
