A new design of algae-powered fuel cells that is five times more efficient than existing plant and algal models, as well as being potentially more cost-effective to produce and practical to use, has been developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge.

Developed at the specific request of industrial electronics customers, Knowles brand Syfer can now offer MLCC’s, for non-safety critical applications, up to 500Vac, 50/60Hz continuous. Syfer pioneered 250Vac rated MLCC’s for non-safety critical applications to complement its range of industry standard DC rated TUV / UL qualified class X & Y surge and safety MLCCs.

In order to help keep power supplies resilient, technology inspired by Google Street View is being used to undertake inspections of remote overhead power lines. Britain’s largest electricity distributor,UK Power Networks, is testing a 360° photographic approach to safety inspections in the South East and East of England, capturing panoramic views of power lines to analyse from a computer back at base.

Now available from Knowles brand Johanson Manufacturing is a capability guide outlining their range of Trimmer Capacitors and Microwave Tuning Elements. This new shortform guide provides an overview of the wide variety of variable capacitors available from Johanson MFG for RF and Microwave applications.Of particular interest are the Giga-Trim capacitors, miniature capacitors designed for high resolution tuning of RF power circuits.

The 20th European Microwave Week (EuMW 2017) will provide an unrivalled opportunity for visitors to see products, components and materials - from Knowles Capacitors and their brands DLI, Novacap, Syfer, Voltronics and Johanson MFG.

One year on from the initial launch of a new range of high temperature MLC chip capacitors, Knowles capacitor brands Novacap and Syfer Technology have jointly announced a significant extension to the product offering. As with the initial launch, this announcement coincided with another IMAPS event – the HiTEN 2017 symposium in Cambridge UK.The Knowles Capacitors HiT range of MLCCs has an operating temperature range of -55 to +200ºC.

Dedicated pulse discharge Multilayer Ceramic chip capacitors for munitions, ordinance, and oil field exploration and perforation are available from Knowles Capacitors brand, Novacap. These capacitors offer the reliability afforded by ceramic multilayer fabrication using advanced ceramic and electrode formulations, with thin, dense and precise dielectric layers to satisfy difficult requirements with what the company claims to be unsurpassed qualit...

Scientists have managed to design microscopic silk capsules that mimic, on a very small scale, the structure of silkworm cocoons. The capsules can serve as a protective environment for the transport of sensitive “cargo” such as natural silk proteins, antibodies or other delicate molecules.

The final of this year’s national Technology, Design and Innovation (TDI) Challenge took place on Wednesday 5th July at Yamakazi Mazak’s headquarters in Worcester.Hundreds of students from across the UK submitted either their GCSE, A-Level or BTEC Design and Technology Course Work Projects to be judged by a panel of experts drawn from Industry.

A project under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme has been completed by the Knowles Capacitors R&D unit based in Norwich, England, together with the UK’s National Physical Laboratory and Euro Support Advanced Materials of the Netherlands. The programme was to develop a lead-free ceramic dielectric, with high energy density and reduced losses, for high temperature applications.
