Parallel guidance of corrugated tube with e-chain
Enhancing the E4.1 modular e-chain system, igus provides a solution for guiding corrugated tube in parallel.Named E4.1 TUB, the new side sections of the outer links have a clip that enables PMAClips to be easily attached. In this way, a corrugated tube can be routed in parallel to an energy chain quickly and without tools.
Quantum course changes material from superconductor to insulator
Researchers from Brown University have demonstrated an unusual method of putting the brakes on superconductivity, the ability of a material to conduct an electrical current withzero resistance.The research shows that weak magnetic fields—far weaker than those that normally interrupt superconductivity—can interact with defects in a material to create a "random gauge field," a kind of quantum obstacle course that generates resistance fo...
3D city models and satellite-guided ground movement maps
The project "Smart District Data Infrastructure – Intelligent 3D City Models" by the Chair of Geoinformatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has been selected as one of the 100 award winners in the "Landmarks in the Land of Ideas" competition. The project "Satellite Guided Ground-Movement Map for Germany," with the participation of the Chair of Remote Sensing Technology, was also among the award recipients.
Customisable displays developed on the Android platform
MTA presents at Electronica 2016 its new Giotto and Leonardo customisable displays, 8” and 12”respectively, developed on an Android platform optimised by its electronics division for the automotiveindustry.At software level, the two displays available from the catalogue stand out for their ability to offerincreased customisation.
Insights into the movement of droplets
Stanford researchers, studying a tiny device that has become increasingly important in disease diagnostics and drug discovery, observed the surprising way it funneled thousands of water droplets into an orderly single file, squeezing them drop by drop, out the tip of the device.Instead of occurring randomly, the droplets followed a predictable pattern.
Ditching the crystals for tech
Nestled in the Austrian Alps is a small village, a space that sits in the original 19th-century manufacturing compound of a decidedly old-school manufacturer. This is the Swarovski crystal company, who as a part of a project are trying to refashion, into a tech company.
Engineering industrial and automotive innovation at electronica 2016
At electronica 2016 in Munich, Germany, Texas Instruments will showcase innovation focused on the future of industrial automation and automotive technologies. Take a closer look at sensor communications with wired technologies like IO-Link and wireless technologies such as BLE and explore how TI’s Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology significantly increases the efficiency in variable speed motor drives.

Synthetic resin: curing at the touch of a button
It may appear to be a nondescript, transparent, viscous liquid, but all you have to do is irradiate any part of it briefly with UV light and it changes completely. The new special resin formulation developed at TU Wien solidifies in seconds. This effect continues to spread outwards until the resin is completely solid, which takes a matter of seconds or minutes, regardless of its previous shape. This is referred to as frontal polymerisation.
Improved production throughput in SPEA Flying Probe Systems
The boundary scan integration in the flying prober 4060 from SPEA is being expanded to the ability of panel test. Thus, panels with several boards can now be tested and also use the whole performance of the interactive test. The combined test of flying probe and boundary scan tests every board and collects all results in a joint protocol. This allows an ideal use of the flying probe resources within the boundary scan tests and offers as a consequ...
