HUBER+SUHNER have announced the publication of a new brochure which highlights the company’s wide ranging product offering for space applications. HUBER+SUHNER's space portfolio includes a variety of cable, cable assemblies and connectors and products designed specifically for ground testing in clean rooms or thermal-vacuum environments. The new brochure is available to view and download online as an e-paper.

The GL Optic light measurement business unit was formed in 2009 for the purpose of developing user-friendly instruments for measuring light with maximum precision for every budget. GL Optic spectrometers are used around the world in demanding measurement applications.

The transparent conductive film (TCF) and glass (TCG) market is booming and fast becoming transformed. This market is forecast to grow to $6.3 billion market in 2024. New applications and market trends are changing the requirement landscape, and in many instances stretching it beyond what the incumbent solution can readily achieve.

Vishay will be participating in the European Space Agency's Space Passive Component Days symposium, at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, South Holland. A supplier of passive components to the space market for over 30 years, Vishay will be exhibiting a wide variety of its leading resistors, tantalum capacitors, and inductors at the event in booth #12.

ARCOL Resistors has a great deal of experience of providing products for custom requirements but faced a unique challenge when asked to provide resistors for a space programme. The THEMIS heliophysics constellation of satellites was commissioned by NASA to investigate what causes auroras in the Earth's atmosphere to dramatically change from slowly shimmering waves of light to wildly shifting streaks of colour.

Wind River have today announced that its Wind River VxWorks 653 Platform has now achieved a design win milestone of 300 programs. Used by more than 165 customers on over 60 aircraft, VxWorks 653 is a commercial off-the-shelf platform for delivering safety-critical, integrated modular avionics applications.

Scientists are in the process of confirming that there was once life on Mars - with the help of an Oxford Instruments X-Ray Technology product. Using a drill on its robotic arm, NASA’s Curiosity rover recently collected a second rock sample for analysis by its onboard Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin). Researchers expect to confirm preliminary findings from the first drilling in February, which indicate that the red planet was once f...

Black magic has a new meaning. It is the sub-optimal way most supercapacitors rely on soot from burnt coconut shells and some homespun trickery. The soot is deposited on something akin to cooking foil and that often has the 40 micron thickness of lithium-ion battery electrodes ten years ago, before they were optimised.

Black magic has a new meaning. It is the sub-optimal way most supercapacitors rely on soot from burnt coconut shells and some homespun trickery. The soot is deposited on something akin to cooking foil and that often has the 40 micron thickness of lithium-ion battery electrodes ten years ago, before they were optimised. Contrary to teaching based on yesterday's understanding, supercapacitors are competitors of lithium-ion batteries.

The UK’s proposed network of 4G-connected smart meters without line links amounts to a whole new, highly critical infrastructure; needing equally critical test procedures. Marc Meulensteen, Business Development Manager with Sprirent Communications, expands in this article from ES Design magazine.
