University of Houston researchers have used single-crystal aluminium nitride to make a pressure sensor that works up to 900°C. It follows a pressure sensors the same team made from single-crystalline gallium nitride, whose sensitivity dropped off above 350°C. “The team believed the decrease in sensitivity was due to the bandgap not being wide enough,” according …

Amazon SageMaker now supports geospatial machine learning (ML), making it easier for data scientists and ML engineers to build, train, and deploy ML models using geospatial data. Today, the majority of all data generated contains geospatial information, but only a small fraction of it is used for ML because accessing, processing, and visualizing the data is complex, time consuming, and expensive.

Starting today, the AWS Application Discovery Service Agentless Collector supports the discovery of on-premises databases, allowing you to achieve more comprehensive data collection through the deployment of a single tool.

Amazon Connect now provides APIs to programmatically create and manage prompts. Prompts are audio files like on-hold music that can be customized and configured to play within call flows. With this launch, you can now programmatically create new custom prompts, or extract prompts stored within Amazon Connect and add them to your Amazon S3 bucket. Additionally, these APIs support AWS CloudTrail, AWS CloudFormation and tagging. To learn more about the new prompt APIs, see the Amazon Connect API reference guide . For more information on AWS CloudFormation, see Amazon Connect Resource Type Reference in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide.

Amazon EventBridge Event Buses now delivers events with lower latencies enabling you to power an even broader set of latency sensitive event-driven applications, especially in industrial and medical applications. Amazon Eventbridge delivers events up to 80% faster than before, as measured by the time an event is ingested to the first invocation attempt.

Starting today, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) I4g storage-optimized instances powered by AWS Graviton2 processors are now available in Canada (Central) region. I4g instances deliver the best compute price performance for a storage-optimized instance and the best storage performance per TB for a Graviton-based storage instance. 

Today, AWS Marketplace announced General availability of two Amazon QuickSight dashboards for AWS Marketplace sellers. Sellers can now access the billed revenue dashboard and collections & disbursements dashboard from the Insights tab of AWS Marketplace Management Portal (AMMP). Previously, sellers could access their business data via downloadable CSV reports on AMMP.

Today we are excited to announce the launch of 28 new proactive controls in AWS Control Tower. This launch enhances AWS Control Tower’s governance capabilities, allowing you to implement controls at scale across your multi-account AWS environments by blocking non-compliant resources before they are provisioned for services such as AWS OpenSearch Service, AWS Auto Scaling, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon API Gateway, and Amazon RDS. These new controls help you meet control objectives such as data encryption at rest or limit network access. To see a full list of the new controls, see the controls reference guide .
