A safe way to bring down rogue drones

Forget nets, attack drones, or lasers – Korean researchers have found a way to coax rogue drones out of the sky – at least, most of those flying on GPS autopilot. “This technology can safely guide a drone to a desired location without any sudden change in direction in emergency situations,” according to national research ...

Pb-free perovskite for solar is stable in air

US researchers have used a supercomputer to discover a candidate for Pb-free perovskite solar cells – most solar perovskites contain Pb-halides, and are unstable in moist air. KBaTeBiO6 is the material, a bismuth-halide double perovskite that was the most promising of 30,000 candidate bismuth-containing oxides postulated by a team of engineers at Washington University in St ...

3-phase mains plus neutral filter for industrial machines

Schurter is aiming at industrial machines with a family of three-phase-plus-neutral EMC filters. Called Fmad Neo the family is “especially compact, the filter series is suited for use in today’s more portable industrial machines, designed to occupy less floor space in manufacturing plants”, said the firm. Looking at the data sheet there are several case ...
