Researchers have developed a small autonomous drone inspired by how bats navigate in the dark. Instead of relying on cameras or LiDAR, which often fail in fog, smoke, or low light, this drone uses ultrasound-based echolocation. It sends out tiny sound pulses and listens to the echoes that bounce back from nearby objects. By analyzing these echoes, the drone can estimate the distance and…
Turkey-based defense company Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi (MKE) introduced a kamikaze unmanned surface vessel (KUSV) called the PİRANA. This crewless drone boat’s designed to attack enemy ships and other coastal targets. It approximately weighs 1,200 kgs and is capable of speeds greater than 50 knots, which is roughly 93 kmph.
In June 2025, a key capability was demonstrated:…
Delivering 440 W of power typically requires sophisticated resonant topologies, but Power Integrations (PI) has changed that with its TOPSwitchGaN flyback IC family, based on its PowiGaN tech and TOPSwitch architecture. These ICs featuring 800 V PowiGaN switches make designing circuits easier for engineers and often remove the need for a heat sink through cooler operation. Gallium…
THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., USA – DigiKey, the global distribution leader of electronic components and automation products, announces the launch of its new video series, Engineering Unlocked. The three-episode series explores how modern tools, open communities and STEM education are reshaping the future of electronics design. From rapid prototyping platforms to real-world maker ecosystems, this…
The maker, Alex from Hobby Built, created a really interesting smart bottle that goes far beyond just holding water. This bottle can play your favorite songs, charge your phone wirelessly, display customizable LED lighting, and even indicate the water level inside in real time. What makes it even more impressive is how thoughtfully the entire structure is designed. The outer body is built…
Alibaba has introduced the XuanTie C950, a high-performance 64-bit RISC-V processor core designed for demanding workloads such as edge AI, cloud computing, and high-performance systems. Built on the RVA23 profile, the C950 features a superscalar, out-of-order microarchitecture with up to 8 cores per cluster and clock speeds reaching 3.2 GHz. With a performance score exceeding 22 SPECint2006…
Arm has introduced the AGI CPU, its first internally developed data center processor, marking a transition from its long-standing IP licensing model to delivering complete silicon solutions for cloud infrastructure. The launch is closely aligned with the growing demands of artificial intelligence workloads, particularly those requiring sustained, multi-step computation rather than traditional…
Mave Health, a Bengaluru-based healthtech startup, raised $2.1 Mn in a seed round led by Blume Ventures. Founded in 2023 by Dhawal Jain, Jai Sharma, and Aman Kumar, the company makes headsets based on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) that help with focus, mood, and stress regulation. The raised capital is to go towards ramping up their manufacturing capabilities and launching…
A hobbyist maker has taken Nerf modding to the next level by integrating machine learning into a custom-built blaster called the Stinger. High-performance "flywheel" blasters usually suffer from a slight delay while the motors spin up to full speed, which can be the difference between a hit or a miss in a fast-paced game. To solve this, creator "stingernerf" bypassed traditional hardware…
Yesterday, Espressif announced the release of ESP-IDF v6.0, which is now easier to set up with the new ESP-IDF Installation Manager. For a smaller memory footprint and to improve performance on resource-limited devices, the new version switches from Newlib to Picolibc as the default C library.
ESP-IDF v6.0 includes an upgrade to the security layer, moving to MbedTLS version 4.x and…
Delhi-based startup Velmenni raised ₹30 crore in a pre-Series A funding round, led by pi Ventures, which also saw participation from MountTech Growth Fund-Kavachh and Apekso. The company intends to use the raised capital to help commercialize its patented light-based wireless connectivity solutions, build customized solutions for defence and enterprise, and expand globally.
The…
