System Sniffs Out Trojans in Electromagnetic Emissions

by samuel k. moore in Engineering, Engineering News

Is that a warplane or a commercial airliner? Mistaking one for the other has had truly tragic consequences. So if you’ve got an automated system doing it, you better know for sure that it hasn’t been compromised with a malicious hardware trojan somewhere along the supply chain. It’s such scenarios that the Defense Advanced Research […]

Solid-State Batteries Rev Up Electric Cars, Boost Grid Storage

by charles q. choi in Energy, Engineering, Engineering News

Solid-state batteries promise to prove safer and longer lasting than conventional batteries. Now companies suggest they may commercialize solid-state batteries in the next five years for use in electric “hypercars” and power grids. Conventional batteries supply electricity via chemical reactions between two electrodes, the anode and cathode, which typically interact through liquid or gel electrolytes. […]

Careful Conveying To Avoid Accidental Ignitions

by christine in Engineering, Engineering News

For processes involving static-sensitive powders in certain concentrations, controlling potential dust ignition, escape and build-up is critical On conveyor systems in the food processing industry, some powdered and bulk solid materials are ignition-sensitive in specific concentrations (for example, grains and sugar) particularly when exposed to static electricity discharge. A key point of concern is conveyor […]
