From electronica with love
At ourbooth #667inHall A1you will have the chance to attend several live measurements and demonstrations involving our low frequency network analyzer Bode100, our dielectric material analyzer SPECTANO 100 and our precision timing solutions products. But before we provide you with more information on the demos we are proud to inform you about this year’s special guests:
Cables for civil aerospace applications showcasing at APEX
The full line of GORE Aerospace Cables will be featured by W.L. Gore & Associates at the 2016 APEX (Airline Passenger Experience Association) Expo, 24thto 27thOctober, Singapore, booth 1649.Gore engineers products that meet the civil aerospace industry’s increasing demand for faster digital networks, more power performance, higher-quality In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC), improved fuel efficiency and less maintenance and ...
Synchronising optical clocks to one quadrillionth of a second
An international team of researchers, led by the NIST, based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, has advanced their work with synchronising a remote optical clock with a master clock by exploring what happens to time signals that need to travel through 12 kilometers (km) of turbulent air, which is known to distort optical signals.
Key automotive infotainment test challenges
Vehicle – infotainment systems Automobiles have experienced rapid growth in the amount of in-vehicle electronics in recent years and a key area where these electronics are playing a vital role is in the infotainment system of the vehicle.
EuMW 2016: Gigabit waveform engineering on your desktop
PicoScope PC-based sampling oscilloscopes delivering 20GHz bandwidth with standard measurements and advanced waveform analysis for gigabit signals will be demonstrated by Pico Technology at European Microwave Week in London (October 4-6). Two and four channels models are available, with options for clock recovery to 11.3 Gbit/s and optical input to 9.5GHz.
Neurons devoted to social memory
In a new study from the neuroscientists at MIT, it has been discovered that mice have brain cells that are dedicated to storing memories of other mice.Found in a region of the hippocampus known as the ventral CA1, store ‘social memories’ these cells help shape the mice’s behaviour toward each other.
Researchers teleport particle over distance of 6 km
Through a collaboration between the University of Calgary, The City of Calgary and researchers in the United States, a group of physicists led by Wolfgang Tittel, professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Calgary have successfully demonstrated teleportation of a photon over a straight-line distance of six kilometres using The City of Calgary's fibre optic cable infrastructure. The project began with an Urban Allian...
Measurement system is consistent with the impending change
After it's all over, your lights will be just as bright, and your refrigerator just as cold. But very soon the ampere—the SI base unit of electrical current—will take on an entirely new identity, and NIST scientists are at work on an innovative, quantum-based measurement system that will be consistent with the impending change.It won't be a minute too soon. The ampere (A) has long been a sort of metrological embarrassment.
3D graphene has promise for bio applications
Flakes of graphene welded together into solid materials may be suitable for bone implants, according to a study led by Rice University scientists.The Rice lab of materials scientist Pulickel Ajayan and colleagues in Texas, Brazil and India used spark plasma sintering to weld flakes of graphene oxide into porous solids that compare favorably with the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of titanium, a standard bone-replacement material.
Predicting the future of advanced solar cells
In a photovoltaic cell, light generates opposite charges in the active layer. The charges must then be separated as quickly as possible to keep them from recombining. Positive charges are driven by a built-in electric field to one metallic contact, while negative charges migrate in the opposite direction to another electrode. Using a unique ultra-fast spectroscopic technique, EPFL scientists have now been able to track the fate of charged pairs i...
