NASA has moved forward with a plan to develop a refrigerator-sized spacecraft capable of deflecting asteroids and preventing them from colliding with Earth.The Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART, is being designed and would be built and managed by scientists at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. NASA approved a move from concept development to the preliminary design phase on June 23.

Hartlepool College of Further Education, Caterpillar, Babcock International and Gestamp Tallent have called upon young women in the North East to explore a career in engineering.

Traditional cameras-even those on the thinnest of cell phones-cannot be truly flat due to their optics: lenses that require a certain shape and size in order to function. At Caltech, engineers have developed a new camera design that replaces the lenses with an ultra-thin optical phased array (OPA). The OPA does computationally what lenses do using large pieces of glass: it manipulates incoming light to capture an image.

From light bulbs and television, to cell phones and GPS, modern advances in electrical engineering have illuminated, informed and connected the world. However, did you know electrical engineering can be traced back to long before Thomas Edison?

OEMs and contract assemblers are constantly seeking a technological edge over their competitors, investing in better, more modern machines, to win new business and grow their market share. A high level of automation is now applied at each point in the surface-mount assembly flow, from program generation through solder-paste deposition, component placement, inspection, reflow and test.

Electrical engineers at Duke University have invented an inexpensive printed sensor that can monitor the tread of car tyres in real time, warning drivers when the rubber meeting the road has grown dangerously thin.

Guillaume Crinon, Innovation Technical Marketing Manager and John Jones, Director of Innovation, Avnet Silica, look at how best to provide end-to-end IoT security.

Intended for use in a range of USB PD products employing direct current (DC) power including AC adapters, PCs, smartphones, other consumer and office equipment, and toys,Renesas Electronics has announced its new R9J02G012 USB Power Delivery (USB PD) controller. According to Renesas, the R9J02G012 is the industry’s first single package solution that supports both USB Power Delivery Rev. 3.0 (USB PD 3.0) and USB Type-C Authentication Rev 1.0,...

A technology originally developed to smooth out and pattern high-powered laser beams for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) can be used to 3D print metal objects faster than ever before, according to a new study by Lawrence Livermore researchers.A team of Lab scientists report the findings in the latest issue ofOptics Express.

A new 8–12GHz monolithic phase and amplitude controller (MPAC) from Peregrine Semiconductor is available at Richardson RFPD with full design support capabilities. The PE19601 is a HaRP technology-enhanced MPAC-beamforming device designed for radar and beamforming networks.
