Molex has introduced Temp-Flex Multicore Cable, a customisable, multi-conductor hybrid cable which uses Temp-Flex and Molex core competencies to combine fine wire, coax, twinax, triax, twisted pair, tubing and strength members in a single high-flex cable solution. A multifunction design combined with high-performance construction allows Temp-Flex Multicore Cable to meet data, signal and power requirements in harsh environments and under critical ...

The ingenuity of four space engineers has created a zero-emission air-conditioning system that doesn't pollute our atmosphere when we turn it on.Air conditioning for offices, factories, shopping centres and homes has long been recognised as a large contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, and boosting its efficiency would help to combat climate change.

To promote the latest global trends and innovation in connected cars, Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Finnish export and investment promotion agency, Finpro, and Frost & Sullivan, are bringing together leaders in the smart mobility industry at an event in London today which is part of Frost & Sullivan’s annual Intelligent Mobility Event.

In a world first, the Public Regulated Service (PRS) of the European satellite network Galileo has been delivered via the 'cloud', paving the way for its automated use by the security and emergency services and critical national infrastructure (CNI) as the secure position and timing service of choice across Europe. Accessing PRS via the cloud overcomes a major problem for some potential PRS users due to the security protocols required when managi...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Strathclyde, UK, have become the first to test in orbit technology for satellite-based quantum network nodes.They have put a compact device carrying components used in quantum communication and computing into orbit. And it works: the team report first data in a paper published in the journalPhysical Review Applied.

ESA unveiled the first Sentinel-1 satellite images sent via the European Data Relay System's world-leading laser technology in high orbit.The two images were taken by the radar on the Copernicus Sentinel-1A over La Reunion Island and its coastal area. The first was scanned in a high-resolution mode, the second in a wide-swath mode that provides broad coverage of surrounding waters, and used in particular for maritime surveillance.

Space agencies examine the extent of greenhouse gases in the air via prisms and gratings in satellites. The latest technology now makes it possible to connect both components with each other so that they are suitable for space thus achieving a new level of quality for spectral resolution. In addition to industrial CO2 emissions, agriculture also contributes significantly to climate change: above all methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which ar...

Renishaw is opening a new Additive Manufacturing Solutions Centre on 15th June in Pune, India. The new facility will provide a secure development environment in which customers can expand their knowledge and confidence using additive manufacturing (AM) technology. The Solutions Centre will be equipped with the latest AM systems and staffed by knowledgeable engineers to allow fast access to deploying the technology, all at fixed predictable costs.

The Sentinel satellite constellation and the ground stations of Europe's Copernicus programme deliver huge amounts of data on our planet every single day. In addition to supporting long-term studies of climates and environments, they provide rapid access to aerial overviews in the event of sudden floods, forest fires and other natural disasters.

Transmitting the contents of a conventional DVD in under ten seconds by radio transmission is incredibly fast – and a new world record in wireless data transmission. With a data rate of 6 Gb per second over a distance of 37 km, a collaborative project with the participation of researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF exceeded the state of the art by a factor of 10.
