Andalusian scientists of the University of Cadiz and Pablo de Olavide University (Seville) are working on a project to improve photoelectrochemical solar cells performance, an alternative to the silicon cells that are normally used.

Fluke Australia has received an exclusive endorsement from the National Electrical and Communications Association Queensland (NECA-Q) against the IEC61010 safety standard.

Returning from several key international meetings in the Greater China Region, Angus Robinson, chief executive of Australia’s ICT, electronics and electrical manufacturing industry body has today welcomed the AiG’s recent call for a national manufacturing strategy.

A joint team from the University of Southampton in Britain and Penn State University in the US has combined the technologies of optical fibre and silicon/germanium to make devices inside microstructured fibres.

To strengthen its Industrial Technologies portfolio, scientific instrument supplier Biolab Australia has acquired Davidson Measurement. Davidson Measurement sells, services and calibrates instruments and equipment for the measurement, analysis, acquisition and interaction of data.

Semikron International and STMicroelectronics are teaming up to develop and deliver integrated power modules for industrial, consumer, and automotive markets, embedding ST’s industry-leading power devices in Semikron’s SEMITOP power packages.

Providing high performance digital filter designs has won RF Engines (RFEL) a contract from Australia’s Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO).

Griffith University researchers have developed an electronic circuit technology that claims to have significant cost, efficiency and environmental advantages over existing printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a laser that could help save the $200-billion dollar computer chip industry from a looming crisis dubbed the ‘interconnect bottleneck’.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in the US have developed a simple, reliable and observable method of creating gaps between electrodes making the creation of nanoscale electronics more achievable.

RS Components, distributor of electrical, electronic, automation, mechanical and T&M products, has launched a new Extended Range of components on its website.

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers in the US have demonstrated a way to release thin membranes of semiconductors from a substrate and transfer them to new surfaces -an advance that could unite the properties of silicon and many other materials, including diamond, metal and even plastic.
