“A combination of efficient math and parallel computation accelerates the modeling of viscous liquid flow. By redesigning how fluids are simulated, KAUST researchers have demonstrated a more than tenfold speed increase on the previous state of the art for slow-flowing …

“MIT researchers create KineCAM, an instant camera that yields images that appear to move. It’s another case of a class project that turned into a bit more than the typical assignment. The story began last fall in the MIT …

“Stanford aerospace engineer Manan Arya shows how origami can help allow enormous spacecraft structures to fit into rockets a fraction of their size. If you’ve ever made an origami paper crane, using folds and creases to transform a square …

“A team of astronomers has developed a method that will allow them to ‘see’ through the fog of the early Universe and detect light from the first stars and galaxies. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, have developed …

“Inflatable actuators use origami principles to deform in intricate ways. Inflatable soft actuators that can change shape with a simple increase in pressure can be powerful, lightweight, and flexible components for soft robotic systems. But there’s a problem: These …

“The future of architecture is here, with RMIT experts and technology revolutionising how we treat everyday building materials. A concept so new, Australia’s Grand Designs couldn’t stay away when it was put to the test. Through engaging RMIT …

“Berkeley Lab technology provides low-carbon manufacturing solution for plastic products. Scientists have designed a new material system to overcome one of the biggest challenges in recycling consumer products: mixed-plastic recycling. Their achievement will help enable a much broader range of …

“The STMicroelectronics TSB582 dual high-output amplifier simplifies circuitry for driving inductive and low-ohmic loads like motors, valves, and rotary resolvers in industrial applications and automotive systems such as steer-by-wire and auto-parking. The TSB582 operates from 4V-36V supplies and contains two …
News Grid (un)locked: Carbon-neutral future depends on updating how we make, move and store electricity

“In the push to decarbonize the economy throughout the Intermountain West and beyond, the public conversation often centers on wind and solar energy, electric cars, hydrogen power and carbon capture and storage. The grid — the interconnected power plants, transmission lines …
News Motor-drive reference designs from STMicroelectronics include STSPIN32 and production-ready PCB

“STMicroelectronics has released two reference designs that simplify building complete industrial or home-appliance motor drives for compressors with the STSPIN32 motor-control system-in-package (SiP). Each integrates the motor controller with a three-phase inverter to power the motor, and an offline converter …
