The European Space Agency (ESA) has selected OHB Sweden to build 20 small satellites for the EUMETSAT Polar System – Sterna (EPS‑Sterna) constellation. EUMETSAT is the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites. The programme will also involve AAC Omnisys, a subsidiary of AAC Clyde Space, who provides the mission’s meteorological payload. This is a Gothenburg‑developed microwave radiometer. EPS‑Sterna ...
Toshiba’s TPHR6704RL is a 40V, 0.67mΩ N-channel MOSFET aiming yo to improve efficiency for industrial power supplies. It uses U-MOS11-H technology, highlights Toshiba, to deliver ultra-low on-resistance, fast switching and improved EMI performance in switched-mode power supplies. For example, by minimising voltage spikes generated between the drain and source during switching. TPHR6704RL The company writes: “By adopting the U-MOS11-H process, ...
President Trump’s leadership skills, and mental and physical fitness score reasonably well on a survey of Americans published by Pew Research Center. However, his ability to pick good advisers, respect democratic values and act ethically are viewed less favourably.

As collaborative robots (cobots) are increasingly deployed alongside human operators, their system architectures continue to evolve toward higher integration, reduced size and greater modularity. These trends place growing demands on interconnect design, as connectors must deliver stable electrical performance while accommodating motion, vibration, assembly tolerance and long-term mechanical stress within confined spaces. Unlike conventional industrial robots, cobots typically employ lightweight ...
Tria Technologies, the embedded compute board specialist, is expanding operating system support across its Qualcomm-based hardware. Yocto Linux, Windows 11 IoT, and Android are all now available, it announces.

Mistral AI, the French AI developer, says it has taken on debt of $830 million to run a datacentre. The datacentre, at Bruyeres-le-Chatel near Paris, is used to train of AI models using 13,800 Nvidia GB300 AI ICs, with operations expected to start in Q2. The $830 million has been borrowed from a consortium of banks including: HSBC, Mitsubishi UFJ, ...
OQ Technology, a Luxembourg-based satellite operator pioneering 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity through its direct-to-device (D2D) global satellite network, has launched two satellites – ERMIS-1 and ERMIS-2 – aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-16 rideshare mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. The satellites were deployed into low Earth orbit (LEO) and will now begin initial commissioning and in-orbit testing. ERMIS-1 and ERMIS-2 are ...
