ARM and University College London (UCL) have launched an educational kit, to help students develop their engineering skills, focusing on the Internet of Things (IoT). The hope is to encourage young engineers to remain in STEM related careers
The oil and gas industry depends on simulation. Robert Roe explores how the technique can optimise the integrity of structures in extreme environments
Regions that have a high population -- and hence a high demand for energy - may be suitable for wind energy production, despite having a low average wind speed according to research using data analysis and graphing software
Companies and countries alike must learn to master big data, or they will find themselves out-thought, out-flanked and out-dated, according to a new report
The MathJax Consortium has released MathJax v2.5-beta, which is focused on improving rendering speed and MathML support
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software is coming of age, highlighted by a report from market researchers Frost and Sullivan and a conference on the topic to be held in February. Robert Roe reports
The potential effect of flood waters can now be assessed more quickly, due to a new feature for Visdom, a Visual Analysis System, made possible by funding from the Austrian Science Fund FWF
Tom Wilkie reports on the marriage of magic and Matlab in motor car design
Robert Roe looks at how software can help train the engineers of tomorrow
Engineers want to work on designing new aircraft, so getting software packages to talk to each other is critical, as Robert Roe reports
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
