A research team from the “Nanomatériaux pour Systèmes sous Sollicitations Extrêmes” unit (CNRS / Institut Franco-Allemand de Recherches de Saint-Louis) has devised a system that can effectively detect explosives. This latest development, which was accomplished through collaboration with the Laboratoire des Matériaux, Surfaces et Procédés pour la Catalyse (CNRS / Université de Strasbourg), was inspired from the silkmoth, Bombyx mori.
Gill Instruments, a global provider of ultrasonic wind sensors, anemometers and compact weather stations, has introduced a new compact and robust ultrasonic wind sensor. The WindSonic M sensor features a hard-anodized aluminium construction.
Kestrel, a provider of handheld weather meters and wind meters, has announced the availability of the Kestrel Meter 4400 Heat Stress Monitor. The monitor is designed to help protect individuals from overexposure due to overheat when performing outdoor activities.
Researchers at the University of Oslo (UiO) are on a mission to find out the reason behind the interference of northern lights with satellite communications, GPS navigation and radio communications. They will be launching 20 satellites with unique small instruments to find out the happenings in plasma clouds.
Fraunhofer researchers, together with the Bosch Corporation and other partners, have engineered a navigation system used to track the movements and position of its user in precise detail.
The Pentagon's called on defence manufacturers to come up with a system that can deal with ultra violet energy in broadly the same way that present-day stealth aircraft scatter radar waves. In its own words, it's after a ‘UV obscurant device' capable of being ‘dispersed from an aircraft' that can work alongside the suite of countermeasures already in use, such as infrared flare releasers.
AIRS, built by BAE Systems, Boston, under the direction of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., is one of six instruments flying on NASA's Aqua spacecraft as part of NASA's Earth Observing System. AIRS, along with its partner microwave instrument, the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A), has faithfully measured our planet's atmospheric temperature, water vapor, clouds and greenhouse gases with unprecedented accuracy and stability. Over the past decade, AIRS and AMSU-A have improved our understanding of Earth's global water and energy cycles, climate change and trends and how Earth's climate system is responding to increased greenhouse gases.
Baolab Microsystems have designed ways to modify the structure that we developed for the 3D NanoCompass so that it can be used to create gyroscopes and accelerometers as well as magnetometers.
Lockheed Martin's have launched their first shadow hawk munition that will service the US militaries and several foreign militaries.
austriamicrosystems, a provider of high performance analog ICs, has introduced a low power lightning sensor that has the potential to be used as lightning warning system.
