The quantum mechanical entanglement of particles plays an important role in many technical applications. To date, however, the effect has been difficult to measure experimentally. Physicists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona have now developed a new protocol to detect entanglement of many-particle quantum states using established measuring methods.

With enough computing effort most contemporary security systems will be broken. But a research team at the University of Sydney has made a major breakthrough in generating single photons (light particles), as carriers of quantum information in security systems.The collaboration involving physicists at the CUDOS, an ARC Centre of Excellence headquartered in the School of Physics, and electrical engineers from the School of Electrical and Informati...

CEVA and Spreadtrum Communications announced the expansion of their long-term strategic partnership around Spreadtrum’s advanced LTE SoC smartphone platforms.Spreadtrum’s latest 64-bit Octa-Core LTE SoC platform, the SC9860, integrates multiple CEVA DSPs, performing multiple signal processing workloads, including LTE Cat-7 baseband, audio and voice, sensor fusion and always-on.

Banner Engineering announces the opening of a new production plant, located at the Millennium Industrial Park in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. The new facility features 30,000 square feet of production space and 10,000 square feet of office space. It is designed to accommodate future growth with the ability to expand to 60,000 square feet and is projected to generate approximately 150-200 new jobs when fully built out.

The development of IoT and smart home devices and systems has been simplified by the new Wubby platform which offers a programming environment that supports Python code execution directly in the microcontroller of the device. This allows a broader developer audience to create new everyday objects because of the popularity of Python.

A NASA team has been tapped to build a new type of communications modem that will employ an emerging, and potentially revolutionary, technology that could transform everything from telecomms, medical imaging and advanced manufacturing to national defence. The space agency’s first-ever integrated-photonics modem will be tested aboard the ISS from 2020 as part of NASA’s multi-year Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD).

Hammond Electronics has further extended its family of design-specific plastic enclosures for housing small form factor development boards with the introduction of the HAMAR, configured for the Arduino LEONARDO, M0 PRO, UNO or YÚN, and the HAMBB, optimised for the BeagleBone Green.

Commercial low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites are about to witness tremendous economic growth. Last year, hardly a month passed without the announcement of another satellite constellation designed to support Earth observation or broadband communication. Compared to those in more distant orbits, LEO satellites offer shorter orbiting periods and multiple daily flyovers thanks to their close proximity to Earth. This opens the door to an intriguing mar...

The German Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure Alexander Dobrindt acknowledges the importance of microelectronics as a key technology for the mobility of the future. Visiting the headquarters of Infineon Technologies, he learned about how the company is supporting policy goals to develop mobility: Infineon, with more than 40 years’ experience in automotive electronics, provides the technological prerequisites for the ma...

CleverPet is a games console for dogs. Because, as its creators explain, dogs need entertaining too. CleverPet co-founder Leo Trottier, who has a PhD in cognitive science from University of California, San Diego, alleges that the system is an ideal replacement for 'doggy day care', or a less extreme option for people worried about their dogs getting bored when home alone."Our customer base has literally nothing better to do with their time," he j...
