  • Structurally Healable, Highly Conductive New Cathode for Solid-State Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

    A team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new cathode material for solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries that is electrically conductive and structurally healable — features that overcome the limitations of these batteries’ current cathodes.



  • Three Vibration/ Balancing Solutions for the Aviation Industry

    Throughout the aviation industry, whether commercial or military, jet engine vibration is an everyday concern. Maintenance, repair, and overhaul crews worldwide are tasked with monitoring aircraft engine vibration to ensure flight safety and efficient service.



  • Fundamentals of Electrical Safety Testing

    Electrical safety testing and certification is a requirement for virtually every electronic device and electrical apparatus. The details of what constitutes a certified product is dependent upon a daunting number (hundreds) of safety standards and the region of the world where the device will be sold and used. This paper reviews the functions and features of advanced electrical safety (hipot) testers, their applications and safe application of test stations.



  • Using AI to Track Professional Hockey Players

    Researchers from the University of Waterloo got a valuable assist from artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help capture and analyze data from professional hockey games faster and more accurately than ever before, with big implications for the business of sports.



  • RF & Microwave Test: What is the Optimum Strategy?

    The design and construction of automated test equipment can significantly burden the engineering resources of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Our new white paper discusses the critical challenges OEMs face in RF and microwave test and details three diverse build options and their corresponding pros and cons. Learn how to understand the RF/Microwave strategy to ensure performance, scalability, and repeatability while preventing resource drain.
