In the modern digital age, where data flows freely and sensitive information is constantly in transit, secure communication has become essential. Traditional encryption methods, while effective, are not immune to the evolving threat landscape.

Digital twin technology is to be employed in a collaborative project exploring whether the National Transmission System (NTS) is able to transport hydrogen.

BT is hopeful it can attract thousands of businesses onto its new commercial quantum-secure metro network in LondonThe UK operator focuses on large organisatio…

EY paraded as the first customer of what is described as a three-year commercial trial.

Ian Risk from the from the Centre for Modelling & Simulation explores the critical role that simulation plays in creating digital twins.

How digital tools are transforming the delivery of HS2 Major infrastructure projects are fraught with complexities, with concerns over cost, timescales and carbon – to name a few. Could the application of digital engineering help to improve efficiency and sustainability across these projects? Ian Risk, chief technical officer at the Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS) – a Bristol-based digital engineering research organisation – certainly thinks so. CFMS can generate thousands of des...

Quantum communications reaching record distances Quantum communications reaching record distances The Cambridge Research Laboratory of Toshiba Europe announced a demonstration of quantum communications over optical fibres exceeding 600 km in length. The breakthrough will enable long distance quantum-secured information transfer between metropolitan areas and is a major advance towards building the future quantum internet. The term quantum internet describes a global network of quantum computers...

Photo Credit: JLR Jaguar Land Rover (JLR, Coventry, U.K.) has long been a proponent of lightweighting vehicles through the use of aluminum, but the company is clearly material-neutral as it is leading a consortium of companies and researchers in the U.K. Tucana project, a four-year undertaking with the objective of developing lightweight structures. Jaguar Land Rover’s objective is to reduce vehicle stiffness by 30%, cut weight by 35 kilograms (77 pounds) and improve the crash safety struct...

Jaguar Land Rover is conducting research into advanced lightweight composites for use in future electric vehicles. The ultimate goal is to develop “vehicle and powertrain structures” that eschew aluminum and steel for lightweight composites that are strong enough to withstand the increased torque generated by electric powertrains. If the company is successful, we can expect lighter and more efficient electric vehicles that could also offer an increased range as well as a more dynamic drivin...

Jaguar Land Rover showcases lightweight materials project The Tucana Project looks into composite lightweight materials Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has detailed a new project – dubbed Tucana – which will investigate how lightweight composite materials can be used in its vehicles. The four-year project will see a consortium of industry leaders come together, with businesses such as the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), Expert Tooling & Automation, Broetje-Automation UK, Toray International UK, ...
