Harting is offering printed circuit tracks on injection-moulded thermoplastic 3d objects, calling the process ‘3D-Mid’. The injection moulded part is custom-designed to fit between or around what ever the customer wants it to. The moulded part is doped with chemicals so that, after moulding, its surface is activated wherever conductive tracks are required  “through laser-direct ...

Anritsu has created an anechoic chamber based antenna tester for 5G millimetre wave (mmWave) angle-of-arrival RRM (radio resource management) testing. It operates within the company’s ‘New Radio RF conformance test system’ (ME7873NR, see below and photo) “Evaluating user-equipment communications quality and connection stability at handover between base stations is a difficult technical challenge for mmWave ...

Measuring the behavior of electrons injected into quantum dots promises insights into how electrons behave in complex real-world materials and could help researchers engineer devices that make possible  quantum computers, say scientists from the US National  Institute of Science and Technology (NIST). The researchers made multiple 3-by-3 grids of precisely spaced quantum dots, each comprising ...
