Peakboard, the specialist for the visualization of processes and data in real time, is launching the next generation of its all-in-one solution of the same name. The migration of the system to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise further simplifies the integration into company-owned networks, as users can optionally integrate the Peakboard Box into the company domain. This allows users to manage a Peakboard Box just like any other computer in the network and to read and process files directly.

A New Way to Cool Down Electronic Devices, Recover Waste Heat
Using electronic devices for too long can cause them to overheat, which might slow them down, damage their components or even make them explode or catch fire. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Nano Letters have developed a hydrogel that can both cool down electronics, such as cell phone batteries, and convert their waste heat into electricity.
Data-Center Switching Market to Plunge Nearly 10% in the First Half as Coronavirus Ravages the Supply Chain
While the market for data-center switches is experiencing both positive and negative impacts from the coronavirus crisis, the net effect of the pandemic will be a 3 to 4 percent reduction in revenue and ports during the first half of 2020 compared to previous expectations.
Windows Will Soon Generate Electricity, Following Solar Cell Breakthrough
Semi-transparent solar cells that can be incorporated into window glass are a “game-changer” that could transform architecture, urban planning and electricity generation, Australian scientists say in a paper in Nano Energy. The researchers – led by Professor Jacek Jasieniak from the ARC Centre of Excellence in Exciton Science (Exciton Science) and Monash University – have succeeded in producing next-gen perovskite solar cells that generate electricity while allowing light to pass through.…
