MACH launches its 2018 seminar programme
This year the MACH show is much more than the technology on show, it is the place where the leading minds in UK advanced engineering come to share ideas that will help shape the future.The seminar programme for MACH 2018 is now live online. You can find full listings and timings as well as book your space.
Reference kit enables IoT connections to cloud vendors
The AECLOUD1 kit demonstrates the Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox which enables users to connect their IoT applications to enterprise cloud vendors such as Amazon, Microsoft or Google with minimum effort and no cumbersome licensing. The AECLOUD1 kit is available at from Rutronik.
Engineering pancreatic islets from single cells
The NEXT project has successfully engineered a new approach to pancreatic islet transplantation using biomimetic nanomaterials, providing hope to type-1 diabetes patients across the world.The perspective of lifetime drug administration or insulin infusion is, to say the least, demoralising.
Engineers Without Borders UK has support from MTA
The evening which celebrates the engineering industry took place on 8th February, the Manufacturing Technologies Association Annual Dinner, and while there was a big celebration of the UK advanced engineering sector, the event also had a charitable side.The dinner saw the announcement of the Presidents charity for the coming year. President Geoff Bryant, chose to support Engineers Without Borders UK for 2018.
Cost-effective catalyst converts CO2 into usable energy
Imagine if carbon dioxide (CO2) could easily be converted into usable energy. Every time you breathe or drive a motor vehicle, you would produce a key ingredient for generating fuels. Like photosynthesis in plants, we could turn CO2 into molecules that are essential for day-to-day life. Now, scientists are one step closer.
Development kit bridges MCU power and performance gap
A collaboration between RS Components (RS), Cypress Semiconductor and MikroElektronika has created Clicker 2 for PSoC 6, a development kit for faster prototyping with Cypress' PSoC 6 ultra-low-power microcontrollers (MCUs). Bridging the gap between expensive, power hungry application processors and low performance MCUs, PSoC 6 MCUs deliver advanced compute performance for energy-conscious devices like IoT endpoints or other small battery-powered ...
Therapeutic gel shows promise against cancerous tumours
Scientists at the UNC School of Medicine and NC State have created an injectable gel-like scaffold that can hold combination chemo-immunotherapeutic drugs and deliver them locally totumours in a sequential manner. The results in animal models so far suggest this approach could one day ramp up therapeutic benefits for patients bearingtumours or after removal of the primarytumours.
Ultimate subsea STEM challenge set for secondary pupils
A new initiative aimed at encouraging school pupils to consider a career at sea has been launched by industry body Subsea UK.The STEM Challenge, led by Subsea UK and supported by The Smallpeice Trust, will see teams of year nine students compete in a design-and-make challenge for the marine industries.
Library houses top 1000 common parts to aid engineers
As part of its continuing effort to offer engineers the best electronic design automation (EDA) tools and design aids, Digi-Key Electronics announces the beta release of a library consisting of nearly 1,000 common parts for use by the open source, KiCad schematic capture and printed circuit board tool on their website.
