A set of free ‘Top Trumps’ cards have been created by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, to help drive awareness and interest in careers in manufacturing and engineering.Free for anyone to download, the cards are designed to be a fun and informative way to kick start more meaningful conversations between young people, parents and teachers about the wealth of manufacturing career options in the UK.

The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) has announced its annual A3 Business Forum, taking place January 18th-20th, 2017 at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.With more than 525 global automation executives scheduled to attend, the A3 Business Forum is the networking event for robotics, vision, imaging, motion control and motors professionals.

In the not so distant future, first responders to a disasterzone may include four-legged, dog-like robots that can bound through a fire or pick their way through a minefield, rising up on their hind legs to turn a hot door handle or punch through a wall.Such robo-rescuers may be ready to deploy in the next five to 10 years, says Sangbae Kim, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT.

Iowa State University Aerospace Engineering Department is the winner of Rohde & Schwarz’s 2 minutes competition and is the recipient of the star prize of an R&S Scope Rider. Scope Rider will help the University’s MAVRIC student team design and debug a Mars Rover and enter the University Rover Challenge (URC), the world's premier robotics competition for college students.

Many people picture electrical conductivity as the flow of charged particles (mainly electrons) without really thinking about the atomic structure of the material through which those charges are moving. But scientists who study "strongly correlated electron" materials such as high-temperature superconductors and those with strong responses to magnetism know that picture is far too simplistic. They know that the atoms play a crucial role in determ...
