In a seed funding round led by Unicorn India Ventures, Verdant Impact raised $3 million, which it intends to spend on scaling its team, breaking into the North and North-East Indian markets, integrating blockchain, and advancing its Pashu.AI platform. Infynyte Club, Yash Kotak, Alok Soni, and a-IDEA NAARM make up the other investors from the round. 

Verdant Impact is an agritech…

In a major step toward bringing artificial intelligence directly into physical devices, Arduino has unveiled the VENTUNO Q, a new high-performance single-board computer powered by processors from Qualcomm’s Dragonwing IQ8 series. Announced ahead of Embedded World in Germany, the platform is designed to democratize edge AI, robotics, and intelligent automation for developers, educators, and…

Montreal, Canada – Future Electronics, a leading global distributor of electronic components, and SnapMagic, a provider of CAD models and design enablement tools for electronic components, have announced the launch of integrated SnapMagic CAD models across the Future Electronics global online catalog. Engineers can now download verified symbols, footprints and 3D models directly from supported…

A neatly designed electromechanical clock shared on YouTube is drawing interest from hobbyists and electronics enthusiasts alike. The project is inspired by the marble clock concept originally created by Ivan Miranda, but the creator redesigned it into a smaller version that can easily fit on a desk. Instead of simply copying the original build, the maker simplified the structure while keeping…

A maker recently engineered an extreme, portable lighting system built around one of the brightest LEDs available, capable of producing more than 120,000 lumens while consuming roughly 1.5 kW of power. Because such an LED generates enormous heat, traditional cooling methods quickly fail. To prevent thermal damage, the project focuses heavily on a liquid-cooling system designed to dissipate…

Russian DIY creator AlexGyver has completed his latest “Challenge Accepted” project: a big, good-looking wall clock made using 24 small stepper motors called BKA30D-R5. These are the same kind of tiny motors you find inside car dashboards to move speedometer or fuel gauge needles. Each motor has two shafts, but he only uses one to control a custom pointer. With 24 of…

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a new Semiconductor Assembly, Test and Packaging (ATMP) facility of Micron Technology in Sanand, Gujarat. This marks the start of commercial production and shipment of the first made-in-India semiconductor memory modules from the plant. The Prime Minister said this is an important step in India’s journey to become a global technology leader. He…

Japan Aviation Electronics recently released a video highlighting the DX07 series USB Type-C connectors, with a focus on repairability and ease of replacement. The connectors may be replaced without soldering, addressing a typical maintenance issue caused by damaged or worn USB ports.

The DX07 series meets USB-IF criteria and can handle a wide range of performance requirements.…

A recent project showcases Reticulum, a cryptography-based networking stack designed to build a decentralized, infrastructure-independent communication network. Unlike traditional mesh systems that depend on specific radios sharing the same frequency, Reticulum abstracts hardware into interchangeable “interfaces.” Whether the link is LoRa, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or packet radio, the protocol…

Bulky bench power supplies and dedicated adapters are still common on electronics workbenches, but they are often inconvenient to carry around and overkill for many portable or field setups. With USB Power Delivery and newer GaN chargers now able to provide high power from compact adapters, developers are starting to treat USB-C as a serious power source rather than just a charging port. Theo…

Rohde & Schwarz, in collaboration with Broadcom, will display its CMX500 multi-technology multi-channel signaling tester at MWC Barcelona 2026 with newly added Wi-Fi 8 (IEEE 802.11bn) testing capabilities. The setup at the Rohde & Schwarz booth (5A80) will validate a prototype Wi-Fi 8 device from Broadcom, showcasing physical layer features unique to Wi-Fi 8.

Addressing UHR…

HackyFi, one of the tiniest yet most capable USB-C development dongles built for hackers, makers, educators, and security researchers. Powered by the Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller, the ultra-compact device integrates a 0.85-inch LCD screen, dual programmable buttons, RGB status LED, 2MB onboard flash, and a microSD card slot all inside a keychain-sized form factor. Designed to challenge…
