The IPC requirements of complex control
As automation technologies and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) become more commonplace in modern manufacturing, the requirements of control hardware have increased.
Productivity increases with cloud-connected IPC
Glidewell Dental used flexible, scalable automation, EtherCAT, and IIoT solutions to modernize prosthetic tooth factory
Six steps to improve computer hardening
Computer hardening is about making systems resistant to cybersecurity attacks, which is something engineers are becoming more aware of. Six tips are highlighted.
Redundant and fail-safe controller CPU
The SIMATIC S7-1500 controller family is extended by a redundant controller which also allows to implement fail-safe applications.
New combination of materials provides progress toward quantum computing
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers have demonstrated how the future of quantum computing may depend on the further development and understanding of semiconductor materials known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs).
Perovskite superfluoresces could benefit quantum computing
A commonly-studied perovskite can superfluoresce at temperatures practical to achieve and at timescales long enough to make it potentially useful in quantum computing applications.
Reducing quantum computing errors
MIT researchers demonstrate a way to sharply reduce errors in two-qubit gates, a significant advance toward fully realizing quantum computation.
Odd angles make for strong spin-spin coupling for quantum technology
Rice University researchers have found an orthoferrite material showing uniquely tunable interactions that could have a major impact on quantum technology and sensing.
Computer developed to act more in tune with nature
Purdue University engineers are building a probabilistic computer designed to act more like quantum computers rather than traditional computers.
Global silicon revenues rise in 2020
In spite of disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the semiconductor history had a strong finish to 2020, almost reaching the sales high achieved in 2018.
