In a groundbreaking milestone for space-enabled semiconductor research, the University of Florida, in collaboration with NASA, MIT, Vanguard Automation, AIM Photonics and Germany’s Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute, launched a suite of photonic AI chips to the International Space Station aboard JAXA’s HTV-XI spacecraft this weekend.
The mission...
It’s hard to imagine a world without photonic integrated circuit (PIC) technology. It enables the high-speed, high-bandwidth data communications that power the internet, data centers and 5G networks we rely on every day.
Because PICs transmit data using photons instead of electrons—light versus electricity—they are efficient, reliable and fast...
On this episode, Joe Steele of LIFT joins the podcast to share some recent news. Their organization has been awarded a contract to accelerate the development of ceramic-based materials for use in industrial and defense applications.
This new four-year, $9 million “Critical Materials Processing” program will advance the state of technology and...
A 2024 report by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Inspector General described more than 300 separate water systems that are at risk from cyberattacks, systems serve more than 100 million people.
An attack on any of those systems could disrupt service or cause irreparable physical damage to the system’s drinking water infrastructure.
...The U.S. Department of Defense wants to know how to get the rust out of metals created in the additive manufacturing process. It’s willing to pay $1.3 million for the answer.
America Makes and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining, based in Youngstown, announced Tuesday a new open project call that is being funded by the...
