No matter the size of a nuclear party, some protons and neutrons will always pair up and dance

“Findings on short-range nuclear interactions will help scientists investigate neutron stars and heavy radioactive nuclei. Atoms in a gas can seem like partiers at a nanoscopic rave, with particles zipping around, pairing up, and flying off again in seemingly random …

NXP Tackles Cost and Complexity of Automotive Software Development with New S32K3 MCUs

“NXP Semiconductors N.V.(NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced the S32K3 microcontroller (MCU) family, the newest addition to its S32K product line. The S32K1 family, released in 2017, marked an important turning point in addressing software’s central role in automotive …

Nylon finally takes its place as a piezoelectric textile

“Nylon might seem the obvious go-to material for electronic textiles—not only is there an established textiles industry based on nylon, but it conveniently has a crystalline phase that is piezoelectric—tap it and you get a build-up of charge …

Panasonic Commercializes Conductive Polymer Hybrid Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors with the Industry’s Largest Ripple Current

“Panasonic Corporation announced today that its Industrial Solutions Company has commercialized new conductive polymer hybrid aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the large-current ZU series, and large-capacitance ZSU series for use in automotive ECUs (electronic control units) [1]. Mass production will start in …

Physicists Pin Down Nuclear Reaction From Moments After the Big Bang

“The newly-measured rate of a key nuclear fusion process from the Big Bang matches the picture of the universe 380,000 years later. In a secluded laboratory buried under a mountain in Italy, physicists have re-created a nuclear reaction that …

PLATYPUS reveals new vulnerabilities discovered in Intel processors

“An international team of security researchers, including experts from the University of Birmingham, is presenting new side-channel attacks, which use fluctuations in software power consumption to access sensitive data on Intel CPUs. Power side-channel attacks are attacks that exploit fluctuations …

Power-free system harnesses evaporation to keep items cool

“Inspired by camel fur, a new two-layered material could provide extended cooling to preserve the freshness of perishable goods. Camels have evolved a seemingly counterintuitive approach to keeping cool while conserving water in a scorching desert environment: They have a …

PSLV successfully launches EOS-01 and nine customer satellite from Sriharikota

“India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, in its fifty first flight (PSLV-C49), successfully launched EOS-01 along with nine international customer satellites from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota on November 07, 2020. PSLV-C49 is the 2nd …

Pushing the envelope with fusion magnets

“MIT Energy Fellow David Fischer irradiates high-temperature superconducting tape to test its resilience and prepare for the first pilot fusion plant. “At the age of between 12 and 15 I was drawing; I was making plans of fusion devices.” David …

Researchers 3D-print biomedical parts with supersonic speed

“Forget glue, screws, heat or other traditional bonding methods. A Cornell-led collaboration has developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing together powder particles at supersonic speed. This form of technology, known as “cold spray,” results …
