New Tech May Boost Cyber Threats in Aviation: Report

New technology increases the risk of cyberattacks in the aviation industry, according to a report released today.

Cost-Effective Electronics Mass Production, with a Hint of 'Star Trek'

A new electronics assembly technique relies on an innovative freeze-drying method and the 'Star Trek' tractor beam-like forces of optoelectronic tweezers.

First Full Land Motion Map of Scotland Developed Over Two Years

The first country-wide map of relative land motion has been created by a team at the University of Nottingham.

First Smartphone-Compatible Insertable Cardiac Monitor Launched in the U.S.

Abbott has secured U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance for the Confirm Rx™ Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM), the world's first smartphone-compatible ICM designed to help physicians remotely identify cardiac arrhythmias.

Broadcom May Need to Woo Qualcomm a Bit More

Broadcom offered $130 billion for Qualcomm yesterday, but the mobile chip maker is rumored to be against the deal.

Skyworks Launches New Category of Wi-Fi Solutions

Fully integrated devices simplify customers' design challenges while extending connectivity range and enhancing product performance.

Physicists Improve Sensor Accuracy to Prevent Electrical Grid Overload

Electrical physicists from Czech Technical University have provided additional evidence that new current sensors introduce errors when assessing current through iron conductors.

Flexible Organic Flash Memory for Foldable and Disposable Electronics Developed

A KAIST team reported ultra-flexible organic flash memory that is bendable down to a radius of 300 µm. The memory exhibits a significantly-long projected retention rate with a programming voltage on part with the present industrial standards.

Metamaterials Could Lead to the Development of Far Fetched Electronics

Metamaterials offer a real possibility that our most far-fetched fancies could one day become real as rocks. From invisibility cloaks and perfect lenses to powerful batteries, their super-power applications seem to be never-ending. So far these applications haven’t been developed, even though scientists have been studying these metamaterials for more than 15 years.

Bone Cancer Surgery to Benefit from Robotics, 3D-Printed Implants

A five-year project underway in Australia seeks to tailor implants for bone cancer patients by combining advanced manufacturing, robotic surgery and 3D printing technologies.

Study Finds Use of Autonomous Vehicles Will Lower Number of Fatal Car Crashes

Autonomous vehicles only have to be a little bit better than human drivers before becoming widely used in the United States. This approach could save thousands of lives annually, even before the technology is perfected, according to a new RAND Corporation report.

Apple, Qualcomm May Split; Enter Intel

A decade-long partnership between Apple and Qualcomm may be coming to an end. And -- surprise! -- Intel may be in the picture.

AT&T, Amazon Web Services Partnership Widens

AT&T’s recently expanded relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides customers a cloud-optimized networking environment with secure, flexible connectivity options to serve cloud, cybersecurity and mobility requirements.

Graphene Enables Terahertz Communication on Flexible Materials

A group of researchers at the University of Chalmers in Sweden have developed, for the first time, a flexible terahertz detector using graphene transistors on plastic material substrates. The development can be used in applications that require flexible electronics, sensor networks and wearable devices.

Old Malaria Treatment Improves Nanoparticle Delivery to Tumors

A new study shows that a 70 year old malaria drug has the ability to block immune cells in the liver so nanoparticles can arrive at their intended tumor site.

Fast Diagnosis in the Field with Portable Holographic Microscope

A low-cost, compact and field-portable 3D printed holographic microscope represents a new tool for fast, reliable disease diagnosis.

New Computer System Organizes Recipes for Producing Materials

A team of researchers at MIT, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the University of California at Berkeley hope to close the materials-science automation gap with a new artificial intelligence system that would pore through research papers to deduce “recipes” for producing particular materials.

Electrically Charged Bandages Can Fight and Prevent Infections

Researchers from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center have shown that special bandages using weak electric fields to disrupt bacterial biofilm infection can prevent infections, combat antibiotic resistance and enable healing on burn wounds for the first time.
