To investigate why the global warming trend varies from decade to decade, scientists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) will work alongside those from nine other research organisations as part of a major new multidisciplinary research project. Over the last decade a slowdown, or hiatus, has been observed in the global warming of the earth's surface. Although it is important to note that heat is still accumulating in other parts of the cl...

Use your computer without the need to start it up: a new type of magnetic memory makes it possible. This 'MRAM' is faster, more efficient and robust than other kinds of data storage. However, switching bits still requires too much electrical power to make large-scale application practicable. Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have discovered a smart way of solving this problem by using a 'bending current'. They publish their...

The event will show a wide range of solutions for the security, IoT, and embedded vision markets. The event will bring together 18 suppliers providing visitors access to a plethora of different technologies and the latest innovations.

Which innovations are currently in the R&D pipeline of the electronics branch? How open must decision-makers in the electronics industry keep their minds for new technologies? And above all else: what is the role played by the 'smart factory' in this connection? These and a host of similar questions were on the agenda of the very first Innovation Symposium in the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on 26th January, attended by more than 50 manag...
