High resolution detectors to create safer X-ray diagnosis
With over 22 million X-rays being recorded in the NHS in England last year, they are a diagnostic test that most of us are familiar with. Scientists have often sought to reduce harmful ionising radiation, the high-energy particles that penetrate tissue to reveal internal organs and bone structures that can damage DNA, from single x-ray records or CT scans.Although this ionising radiation can be reduced, traditionally it has come at the expense of...
Data centre standard helps to save the world’s energy
A new open standard for data centre rack power distribution will potentially save a significant percentage of the world’s energy consumption. Sally Ward-Foxton reports.
Networking platform for science at HANNOVER MESSE
Cyber-physical systems, a wearable robotic cameraman outfitted with artificial intelligence and the smallest, lightest hydroelectric power plant in the world are just a few examples of the concepts that visitors discovered in the Research and Technology sector at HANNOVER MESSE 2016.

Electron beam lithography system for nanotech research
Research projects statewide, from electronics to optics and medicine, are set to benefit from a new system coming to UW–Madison that will use electron beam lithography (EBL), a specialised technique for creating extremely fine patterns — in some cases more than 5,000 times narrower than the diameter of a human hair.
Scientists fabricate class of crystalline solid
Scientists at Lehigh University, in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, have demonstrated the fabrication of what they call a new class of crystalline solid by using a laser heating technique that induces atoms to organise into a rotating lattice without affecting the macroscopic shape of the solid.
Infineon acquires Innoluce BV
Microelectronics from Infineon Technologies AG is a key technology for automated and connected driving. As leading chip provider for driver assistance systems, Infineon continues its innovation path and has acquired 100% of Innoluce BV, a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Nijmegen. Based on the know-how of Innoluce, Infineon will develop chip components for high-performance lidar systems. Both companies agreed on confidentiality on t...
