The team that first unveiled the rapid, inexpensive, highly sensitive CRISPR-based diagnostic tool called SHERLOCK has greatly enhanced the tool’s power, and has developed a miniature paper test that allows results to be seen with the naked eye — without the need for expensive equipment.The SHERLOCK team developed a simple paper strip to display test results for a single genetic signature, borrowing from the visual cues common in preg...

Electric vehicles for construction, agriculture and mining will be a $87bn market in 2028. Komatsu, John Deere, Caterpillar, and others manufacture the big vehicles - mainly hybrid - while other manufacturers offer smaller, pure-electric versions.

Europeans urgently need to find another solution, because of the ban on imports of European plastic waste impeded by China at the beginning of 2018. The EU commission, for example, is considering a ‘plastics tax’. An EU directive against lightweight plastic carrier bags has already contributed to a reduction of consumption in many countries. Until 2030, all packaging in the EU ought to be reusable and made of recyclable materials.

Developing an ‘intelligent connector’ Bulgin has successfully trialled its use in agricultural sensing and control. In a customisation project for a client, California-basedAgTech Industries, Bulgin incorporated integrated electronics into a rugged miniaturised connector for AgTech’s new smart infield telemetry system called AgriCapture.

Extending its range of wheel drive, Bonfiglioli has introduced the new 600WT drive series, which integrate a new axial piston motor especially designed for agricultural equipment.The 606WT wheel drive from Bonfiglioli, combines proven mechanical systems with a new integrated 68 c/rev swashplate motor and thus, represents the best choice for agricultural machinery having closed loop circuits such as self-propelled sprayers.

Digitisation and networking in agriculture are the modern expression of ideals that are understood as 'holistic thinking'. Thinking in terms of process chains has always been a guarantee of success in the agricultural sector. For large parts of the agricultural industry, digitisation is giving rise to extended areas of responsibility and also altered fields of activity.

Farnell element14 is an authorised distributor of over 7,000 Infineon products presents the XMC4800 Automation Board V2. This board utilises Infineon’s XMC ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller in combination with Infineon supply, interface, communication and safety products.

A range of 4G LTE CAT1 enabled Cellio LoRa Gateways have been introduced by Device Solutions for wide area, long range, end-to-end monitoring of agriculture, cold chain, gas distribution and transportation. The Cellio solution encompasses the hardware, software, wireless connectivity, cloud storage, and monitoring apps for smartphones.

Autonomous mobile robots are causing a paradigm shift in the way we envisage commercial and industrial vehicles. In traditional thinking bigger is often better. This is because bigger vehicles are faster and are thus more productive. This thinking holds true so long as each vehicle requires a human driver. The rise of autonomous mobility is however upending this long-established notion: fleets of small slow robots will replace or complement large...

Two new sensors have been launched by Interface Force Measurements, for its tyre pressure monitoring system from XSensor. These sensors are now available in the UK for automotive manufacturers, tyre manufacturers, race teams as well as current users of the X3 PRO system.
