To produce drugs sustainably and cheaply, anywhere you want. Whether in the middle of the jungle or even on Mars. A 'mini-factory' whereby sunlight can be captured to make chemical products. Inspired by the art of nature where leaves are able to collect enough sunlight to produce food, chemical engineers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have presented such a scenario. They describe their prototype reactor - consciously shaped as a lea...

At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, technologist Douglas Hofmann and his collaborators are building a better gear. Hofmann is the lead author of two recent papers on gears made from bulk metallic glass (BMG), a specially crafted alloy with properties that make it ideal for robotics."Although BMGs have been explored for a long time, understanding how to design and implement them into structural hardware has proven elusive,...

In order to upgrade the lighting at two depots owned by Marshall Fleet Solutions,Venture Lighting Europe’s industrial luminaires have been used.Over 50 of Venture’s 150W Highbay Professional luminaires were used across the two sites to upgrade the company’s lighting scheme from 400W Metal Halide lamps to help achieve the company’s aim to reduce its energy consumption.

Around this time of year the farmers down on earth will be planting away their crops ready for harvest, and so are the Astronauts up in space. In particularly the Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are planting their third on-orbit crop of red romaine lettuce. The Veg-03 experiment was initiated by NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, one of his first science assignments as a new crew member aboard the orbiting laboratory.

Future explorers on the Moon and Mars could be outfitted in a type of astronaut's suit, a 'smartsuit' that will mitigate the pernicious effects of weightlessness and motor inactivity.On Earth, gravity is a force our bodies have to work against, which keeps our cells, bones and muscles strong. Over a long-term space flight, human bodies undergo dramatic changes. As there is no need to walk, stand or lift in microgravity, their muscles atrophy.

The release of e-con Systems' eSOMiMX6-micro computer on module has been announced. The eSOMiMX6-micro is based on NXP/Freescale i.MX6 processor. e-con Systems already has many customers in mass production using computer on modules, such as the eSOMiMX6, eSOMTK1 and eSOM3730.

Deafening cheers were heard at Infineon’s headquarters when European Space Agency’s Schiaparelli module touched base at the Red Planet: for the first time in history, a European “ambassador” landed on Mars. For the second time already, semiconductors from Infineon Technologies AG help to search for traces of life on Mars. The ExoMars mission has reached its destination with a half dozen different components supporting came...
