The top five health and wellbeing issues identified for automotive workers are stress (57%), poor sleep (52%), anxiety (44%), low mood (41%) and not taking time out (to rest or relax) (43%).

The CMOS image sensor (CIS) industry is experiencing a period of rapid technological advancement, driven by innovations in semiconductor manufacturing processes. Techniques such as backside illumination (BSI), stacked chip design are enabling the development of smaller, more efficient sensors with enhanced performance.

Building and maintaining a robust supply chain can be a challenge in any market condition. Whether you’re facing component shortages, managing excess inventory, or developing your supply chain strategy, Smith has the versatility and programmes to help companies make informed and tactical decisions.

Historically, the automotive and logistics sectors have led the charge in adopting automation and robotics, ranging from mobile robots and industrial arms to collaborative robots.

The most transformative technologies of the past few decades have one thing in common: open source foundations. The World Wide Web, launched as an open project, reshaped communication, business, and knowledge-sharing. Linux, an open source operating system, became the backbone of the Internet, powering millions of servers, supercomputers, and embedded systems. Today, RISC-V is bringing that same disruption to semiconductor design, proving that op...

A major new survey, from legal intelligence platform Robin AI, has revealed a severe lack of trust in the legal industry. Just one in 10 people across the US and UK said they fully trust law firms, but while increasingly open to AI-powered legal services, few are ready to let technology take over without human oversight.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has released an independent and comprehensive study on the costs of installing high voltage electricity transmission lines overground, underground, and sub-sea, aiming to inform the government's ambitious plans to re-wire Great Britain in the largest grid upgrade since the 1960s.

The concept of building software with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) is not new, but the way in which developers are doing it is changing.

Lithium-ion batteries are essential in driving a sustainable and low-carbon future. To stay competitive in the rapidly growing Li-ion market, battery manufacturers need to be able to secure a stable and cost-effective supply of raw materials.

At GTC 2025, NVIDIA announced two new networking switch platforms – Spectrum-X Photonics and Quantum-X Photonics – based on co-packaged optics (CPO) technology.
