Metal shortage could put the brakes on electrification
As more and more electric cars are travelling on the roads of Europe, this is leading to an increase in the use of the critical metals required for components such as electric motors and electronics.
World’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer
QuEra has significantly reduced the error rate in qubits, paving the way for the debut of its first commercially availablefault-tolerant quantum computers featuring 256 physical qubits and 10 logical qubits.
SpaceX launches private lunar mission ‘Odysseus’
In an event that could redefine lunar exploration, Odysseus, a robotic lunar lander developed by Houston-based Intuitive Machines, has embarked on its journey to the moon, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
CEA-Leti proof of concept demonstrates electron behaviours
CEA-Leti research scientists have demonstrated that electrons and other charge carriers can move faster in germanium tin than in silicon or germanium, enabling lower operation voltages and smaller footprints in vertical than in planar devices.
Crewless maintenance vessels to support offshore wind farm repairs
Electric remotely operated vehicles (eROVs) that perform maintenance and repair tasks on offshore wind turbines are being developed by the National Robotarium in partnership with Fugro, a Geo-data specialist.
Functional 2D-enabled microchips become reality
The world’s first fully integrated and functional microchip based on exotic two-dimensional materials has been fabricated at KAUST.
The British semiconductor companies steering UK efforts
Electronic Specifier explores some of the key British semiconductor companies that are steering UK efforts in the industry.
HNCDI to boost UK productivity, innovation and economic growth
A new report confirms that the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) is generating increasingly substantial economic and societal benefits for the UK across many sectors.
CCS and hydrogen challenges to be tackled
Energy industry leaders are to set out how the sector can overcome challenges posed by the implementation of carbon capture storage (CCS) and the use of hydrogen at SPE Offshore Europe 2023 (OE23).
Graphene-based breakthrough in hydrogen peroxide production
New research led by the University of Bath has shown that surface-modified graphene could transform the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) for industrial use as a bleaching agent or disinfectant.
