In today’s manufacturing landscape, electronic systems play a pivotal role in the efficient production of goods, from raw material handling to the final packaging stage. Over the past five decades, the integration of electronics has revolutionized manufacturing processes, making them more streamlined and cost-effective. In contrast to the high-maintenance reliance on relays and hydraulics in the past, electronic systems generally offer greater reliability and demand less attention. However, this shift has led to a reduction in maintenance staff in many facilities, resulting in inadequate upkee ..read more

At the heart of every mobile phone, laptop and autonomous vehicle is a tiny semiconductor whose properties and, ultimately, performance are determined by free electrons. Now, UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new way to measure these electrons that could lead to more energy-efficient semiconductor materials and electronics. “Our optical nanoscopy integrates near-field scanning optical microscopy and pump-probe optics to enable high resolution at both spatial and temporal scales,” said Costas Grigoropoulos, professor of mechanical engineering and principal investigator of the study. “And ..read more

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will strategically expand wastewater testing for poliovirus in select jurisdictions across the country. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) are among the first locations to explore plans to start collecting wastewater samples in specific communities for analysis at CDC’s polio laboratory. Preliminary discussions with select other state and local health departments are underway. The findings from CDC’s strategic wastewater testing effort will hel ..read more

When the pandemic started in 2020 and chip shortages became acute, the world woke up to the importance of semiconductors. Then, the economy shriveled and bounced back and once again started to diminish in the ensuing years, leading to where we are today. CRN breaks down 10 semiconductor companies that are driving the market with new innovations — or are on the verge of doing so — while navigating a tough economic environment.

The design of the FLEX4H2 combustor will be based on Ansaldo’s Constant Pressure Sequential Combustion (CPSC) technology, a second-generation combustion system developed for Ansaldo’s flagship GT36 H-class gas turbine (760-MW in combined cycle) combustors. Sequential combustion evolved from burner technology applied to Ansaldo’s GT26 and GT24 gas turbines. In the GT26, sequential combustion is implemented with two combustion stages separated by a high-pressure turbine: the first stage (EV) operates at pressures greater than 30 bar, while the second stage (SEV) operates at roughly half of the E ..read more

While there is little manufacturers can do about the economy, there are steps they can take to boost confidence. By Jerry Murphy, partner-in-charge of manufacturing and distribution services, Sikich It’s no surprise, in the midst of an economic downturn, optimism in the manufacturing industry is low. In a recent survey of manufacturing leaders, Sikich found that less than half (49%) of respondents rated their optimism of business prospects over the next six months a seven or higher on a scale of one to 10. The National Association of Manufacturers uncovered similar results in its quarterly out ..read more
