At ICT Spring Europe 2017, more than 5,000 key decision makers in IT, finance, banking, space, web, manufacturing and marketing, as well as investors, entrepreneurs, and start-ups from over 70 countries, will gather together on 9th-10thMay in Luxembourg.The organisers of ICT Spring Europe 2017 announced several guest speakers involved in this year's conferences including high level decision makers from NASA, Warner Bros Digital, ESA, Ubisoft, Air...

Behind its thick swirling clouds, Venus is hiding a hot surface pelted with sulfuric acid rains. At 480ºC, the planet’s atmosphere would fry any of today’s electronics, posing a challenge to scientists hoping to study this extreme environment.Researchers at the Stanford Extreme Environment Microsystems Laboratory, or the XLab, are on a mission to conquer these conditions.

A NASA technologist has teamed with the inventor of a nanotechnology that could transform the way space scientists build spectrometers, the all-important device used by virtually all scientific disciplines to measure the properties of light emanating from astronomical objects, including Earth itself.

NASA and a Palo Alto-based satellite manufacturer are working to get a spacecraft to an asteroid before one gets to us.Asteroid exploration has become one of NASA's top goals, and Space Systems Loral will play a key role in an upcoming mission that will allow scientists to get research equipment to a unique asteroid to study its composition. It's the company's first major foray into the world of deep-space exploration.

Delivering life-saving drugs directly to the brain in a safe and effective way is a challenge for medical providers. One key reason: the blood-brain barrier, which protects the brain from tissue-specific drug delivery. Methods such as an injection or a pill aren’t as precise or immediate as doctors might prefer, and ensuring delivery right to the brain often requires invasive, risky techniques.

Once upon a time there lived, Snow White and the seven dwarfs. But now, NASA may have discovered the real-life version - TRAPPIST-1 and the seven planets. It turns out that life may have been discovered 39 light years away, as this week NASA has made the announcement that seven new earth size planets have been discovered.Previously scientists have only found a tiny number of ‘exoplanets’ which are believed to have the qualities needed...

The winning design in the International Space Station (I.S.S.) Design Challenge has been 3D-printed in space. The winning design, a satellite-launching device, is now in orbit and may one day be used by astronauts for a variety of missions. The news was announced by Mouser Electronics and Grant Imahara.

NASA are using X-ray emitters for a super-fast communications system. Electronic Specifier writer Rachel Oliver explains.

Master Bond Supreme 3HTND-2DM is a rapid curing, toughened, one part epoxy system used for the dam-and-fill method for chip-on-board encapsulation. Essentially, there are two methods to protect chips and their wire bonds. One method is referred to as glob top, where the encapsulating system is dispensed and applied directly to the area to be protected. The dam-and-fill method entails dispensing the damming material around the area to be encapsula...

Johns Hopkins University scientist Kirby Runyon wants to make one thing clear: Regardless of what one prestigious scientific organisation says to the contrary, Pluto is a planet. So is Europa, commonly known as a moon of Jupiter, and the Earth's moon, and more than 100 other celestial bodies in our solar system that are denied this status under a prevailing definition of "planet."
