Defence and Security Equipment International is a defence and security event which takes place 12th-15th September 2017 at ExCeL London. The event promises a programme of senior military and government representatives who will deliver keynote addresses on the most pressing defence and security topics.

How do you get a robot to recognise a surprise?That's a question Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers are pondering, especially as AI begins to change space research. A new article in the journalScience: Roboticsoffers an overview of how AI has been used to make discoveries on space missions.

Just like early explorers, NASA Twins Study investigators are venturing into new territory. Conducting human omics research on twin astronauts as part of the One Year Mission that took place aboard the International Space Station is one such venture. As technology evolves so does the research. NASA is evaluating more efficient and innovative research techniques to prepare for the journey to Mars.

Providing clean and safe energy, which is free from carbon dioxide emissions, could be possible through fusion power. However, it is very difficult to imitate the solar energy process.Two plasma physicists at Chalmers University of Technology are one step closer to a functional fusion reactor, and have developed a model that could lead to better methods for decelerating runaway electrons, which could destroy a future reactor without warning.

A range of non-magnetic, highly corrosion resistant ceramic bearings have been launched by specialist supplier of miniature bearings, SMB Bearings, which has the capability of facing extreme conditions at either ends of the temperature spectrum, even those found on Mars.With implications for the chemical, food and beverage, marine and pharmaceutical industry, this product launch will keep machinery moving smoothly in the harshest of environments.

Researchers have developed a fast and practical molecular-scale imaging technique that could let scientists view never-before-seen dynamics of biological processes involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.The new technique reveals a sample’s chemical makeup as well as the orientation of molecules making up that sample, information that can be used to understand how molecules are behavin...

When Apollo astronauts on the Moon spoke with Mission Control on Earth, there was a noticeable time gap between a statement from Tranquility Base and its immediate acknowledgment from Houston. The gap lasted almost three seconds, or ten times longer than human reaction times would account for.What was happening? The answer is simple: space. The Moon orbits far enough from Earth that light (and radio) take 1.3 seconds each way to travel the distan...

Enabling both digitalisation of the field as well as extensive new software functionality, version 9 of the Simatic PCS 7 process control system supports the Industrial Ethernet standard Profinet with two new distributed I/O lines. In addition, plant operators will also benefit from greater flexibility, convenience, future-proofing and wide-ranging compatibility with legacy installations.The demands made on the flexibility, scalability, availabil...

Coming into effect this month, Phytron has appointed Mclennan as its exclusive UK and Ireland sales partner. Mclennan will handle enquiries and provide technical and sales support for the specialist and extreme environment stepper motor, drive and motion systems manufacturer.

Subsidiary of Intel,Wind River, has engaged with the Transportation Research Center (TRC), The Ohio State University (OSU), and the City of Dublin to advance smart, connected, and autonomous technologies. The planned collaboration - focused around the Columbus region in central Ohio - aims to accelerate learning in the automotive community. The group looks to develop strategies and technologies that safely and securely increase the pace, quality,...
