The world’s shipping industry plays a pivotal role in global trade, with nearly 90% of goods transported by sea. However, as digitalisation continues to reshape maritime operations, the industry’s exposure to cyberattacks expands significantly. In the first half of 2024 alone, 23,400 malware incidents and 178 ransomware attacks were reported, according to a recent Marlink study.

In today’s industrial landscape, seamless device communication is key. The Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus – a reliable protocol initially developed for vehicles – now enables quick, decentralised data transfer across sectors without central control.

Researchers at TU Graz in Austria have achieved more accurate orbit predictions for both satellites and space debris, alongside an improved understanding of water masses present on Earth: achieved using satellite laser ranging technology.  

The electric vehicle (EV) charging industry is experiencing rapid growth. With consumers, industries and governments demanding more environmentally sustainable transportation, the EV charging infrastructure must become more efficient and accessible....

Texas Instruments (TI) has been busy at electronica 2024 showing off its latest innovations to enable what it calls a more ‘intelligence and sustainable future.’

In electric vehicle (EV) charging and solar inverter systems, current sensors measure current flow by monitoring the voltage drop across a shunt resistor or the magnetic fields generated by current flowing through a conductor. These high-voltage systems use current flow information to control and monitor power conversion, charging and discharging.

Nexperia has introduced a new series of high-performance gate driver ICs designed for driving both high-side and low-side N-channel MOSFETs in a synchronous buck or half-bridge configuration.

Biomedical engineers from the University of Melbourne have developed a high-speed 3D bioprinting system capable of creating structures that closely mimic a range of human tissues, from soft brain tissue to tougher materials like cartilage and bone.

Renesas Electronics announced the world's first ‘8-in-1’ proof of concept (PoC) for E-Axle systems for electric vehicles (EV), which controls eight functions using a single microcontroller (MCU).
