Q5D has developed robotic tools combined with sophisticated computer-aided design and manufacturing software, enabling the autonomous addition of wiring and printed electronics directly onto product surfaces. This automation offers not only improved quality and reliability but also significant reductions in manufacturing costs compared to traditional manual processes. The company has gained significant traction in the […]
It enables small module designs with reduced component count for improved safety and electrification: high voltage interlocks, charging flaps, seatbelts, hood/trunk, gear tooth sensing, or brake-by-wire applications. For traditional safety automotive latches and switches, ranging from door and boot/trunk handles to seatbelts and brake light switches, the standard design uses a mechanical contact or […]
Physicists from five Rice University laboratories and more than a dozen collaborating institutions have discovered a way to use heat to switch crystals of iron, germanium and tellurium between two topological phases where quantum bits of information, or qubits, could potentially be stored. The researchers showed that empty atomic sites in the crystals’ lattice are […]
Molecular structure of the OLED molecule with solution glowing blue. Credit: Petri Murto Researchers have found a new way to simplify the structure of high-efficiency blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which could lead to longer-lasting and higher definition television screens. OLEDs are a class of organic electronics that are already found commercially in smartphones and […]
The satellite manufacturer – based in Boca Raton, Florida – says SmallSat GEO is aimed at the communications market and will provide higher power and performance than may have been needed in low-earth orbit (LEO). The company is also promising a significantly lower cost with a faster delivery timeline than traditional GEO systems. Terran highlights […]
From Distington Community School and aged seven to 11, they constructed marshmallow and spaghetti towers, tried 3d printers and a drone simulator, and experimented with Lego robots and paper rockets. “It’s always a pleasure to see the kids interacting with our team and enjoying all aspects of STEM,” said the centre’s socio-economic lead Claire O’Connor. […]
The question that inspired the technique was: how do we spot leaks from the gut after gastric surgery? Neither ultrasound, CT or MRI scanning could be used to remotely determine local chemistry around the internal wound, according to Northwestern University, which teamed up with the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis to find […]
“We think our investments in leading-edge logic chips, leading-edge logic chip manufacturing, will put this country on track to produce roughly 20% of the world’s leading-edge logic chips by the end of the decade,” says Raimondo, adding, “today we are at zero.” President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Commerce, Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo […]
Street and highway in NYC featuring signs for the George Washington Bridge, with smoke emitting from a car’s exhaust pipe. Key things to know: Transportation accounts for approximately 27% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, with light duty vehicles (LDVs) being the largest contributors within this sector. The U.S. aims to electrify 50% of new LDVs […]
