Increasing coding literacy in elementary schools — Preparing for a tech-driven future
While discussions on coding education often gravitate toward middle schools, high schools or even bootcamps for adults, there is growing evidence to suggest that foundational tech skills can — and perhaps should — be cultivated far earlier in the educational journey.
Downsized EMC test chamber delivers big results
The smaller-scale solution reflected in the recently developed SpaceSaver 26H electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) chamber offers a new approach in radio frequency shielding design.
This robot runs on light and radio waves
The so-called MilliMobile features a solar panel-like energy harvesting device and travels on four wheels, traveling 30 feet an hour.
The advantages of integrating ASIL-rated components in automotive hardware design
It is crucial that each component used within the safety-critical system is ASIL-rated and incorporates ASIL-rated components.
Using AI to speed up and improve product design
When AI algorithms are used in NX software or Xpedition software, which are part of the Siemens Xcelerator business platform, mechanical design and circuit board design and layout can be performed more quickly.
