Latest qualifiable toolset brings enhanced model-level testing
The latest version of AdaCore’s model-based development and verification toolset has been released, QGen 17.1.QGen bridges the gap between control engineering and software engineering, helping customers in the automotive and aerospace industries, as well as other safety-critical software-intensive domains, take full advantage of model-based development while retaining the low-level control necessary to achieve full integration with target h...
£290m boost for clean energy in Britain
Renewable energy developers will compete for £290m worth of contracts to support the growth of clean energy in Britain, as the second Contracts for Difference auction launched on 4th April 2017.
Measurements by school pupils paved way for key research findings
With their measurements and samples, nearly 3,500 schoolchildren have assisted a research study on lakes and global warming. The results show that water temperatures generally remain low despite the air becoming warmer. This helps to curb the outflow of greenhouse gases (GHGs).How often is water warmer than air? Gesa Weyhenmeyer, Professor of Aquatic Biogeochemistry at Uppsala University, asked herself this question when she analysed thousands of...
What problem does the tech industry face in terms of recruitment?
It has been several years now that there has been a huge challenge in recruiting in the technology industry.The number of technology professionals required outweighs the number of people with the relevant skills, leaving a major shortage that companies are struggling with.

Wireless network system used in tactical communications
A purchase order from the Finnish Defence Forces has been received by Bittium for further development of the software package (waveform) for the Bittium Tactical Wireless IP Network (TAC WIN) system that is used as the wireless broadband network by the Finnish Defence Forces in their M18 command, control and communications system. The work package that was ordered now will be delivered to the Finnish Defence Forces during the years 2017 and 2018.
Multisport device offers enhanced training metrics
Garmin International has introduced the Forerunner 935. The new flagship multisport device from Garmin will bring the latest generation of physiological analytic capabilities from Firstbeat Technologies to the Forerunner series for the first time. The three new Firstbeat training features - Anaerobic Training Effect, Training Load, and Training Status - debuted earlier this year in the Garmin Fenix 5 series, which was named as a CES 2017 Innovati...
Diagnosing Alzheimer’s from cheek swab
3D Signatures have developed the TeloView system, a software platform that can analyse telomere patterns in cells to diagnose disease. The company recently announced the results of a clinical study, due for publication in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, in which the software could reportedly identify Alzheimer’s disease and predict if the disease was mild, moderate, or severe, based on analysing a cheek swab sample from patients.

Crystalline and liquid at the same time
Solid, liquid or gas – we encounter these three clearly defined states of matter every day. It is difficult to imagine that substances could simultaneously exhibit properties of two of these states. Yet, precisely such a phenomenon is possible in the realm of quantum physics, where matter can display behaviours that seem mutually exclusive.Supersolidity is one example of such a paradoxical state.
