Reports say chronic pain affects 51.6 million Americans, and the effects are considered “high-impact” for about 17 million of them, influencing their life or work. Traditional methods of pain relief, such as opioid medications, carry the risk of addiction among other side effects. Current spinal cord stimulators are alternatives, but are expensive and require invasive surgery with a need for…
Luke Ditria has created a tinier and less expensive version of a wildlife-monitoring device that he built earlier. The tool makes use of AI to detect animals in real time, without needing the internet. The original version’s use of a Raspberry Pi 5 and Hailo AI accelerator led to its increased price. This compact version uses a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and a smart camera that has AI built into it…
Vishay Intertechnology has announced an expansion of its CHA series of thin film chip resistors. The resistors, being AEC-Q200 qualified, meet strict automotive reliability standards. The initial launch was in a 02016 case size, supporting up to 70 GHz, and the currently introduced model is in a 0402 case size.
Though the frequency performance goes slightly down from up to 70GHz to…
Nordic Semiconductor has acquired its longtime partner, Memfault Inc., a cloud platform company. This acquisition results in something that’s the first of its kind: a complete chip-to-cloud platform managing connected devices across their entire lifecycle. Nordic now offers hardware, software, and cloud services as one integrated solution.
With this new platform, Nordic is shifting from…
A jet-powered humanoid robot named iRonCub3 just took its first flight. This robot, developed by the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Genoa, lifted about 50 cm (1.5 feet) off the ground while maintaining stability. It has four engines, two on the arms and two on a jetpack on its back. This development follows years of research and testing that include real-world flight tests and…
Murata has introduced a 3-axis accelerometer called the SCA3400-D01. It is designed for use in structural health monitoring, machine control, inertial measurement units, construction tools and systems, tilt sensing, levelling & platform stabilization, and positioning & guidance systems. 3-axis sensing means measuring motion or tilt in X, Y, and Z directions.
The ultra-low noise…
Researchers have reportedly created a low-cost biosensor at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Hyderabad campus. Their biosensor is said to cost only ₹15 to make. What it offers is a way to detect health markers without needles, bypassing traditional blood tests. In a span of five minutes, it can detect chemical compounds called metabolites from blood, sweat, urine, and cells.…
China’s National University of Defence Technology (NUDT) created a mosquito-sized drone, roughly 1.3 centimeters long, tailored for stealth tasks like intelligence gathering for the military. The tiny size makes for easy camouflage in any environment, allowing it to remain close to invisible in covert missions. The drone has insect-like wings that flap to mimic natural movement.

Infineon has introduced its radiation-tolerant memory portfolio. These are important for space use, specifically in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions. LEO satellites are closer to Earth, where the severity of radiation is less, and hence these COTS components offer cost-effective and time-efficient solutions.
The current release includes three types of memory chips: F-RAM (Ferroelectric…
Rob Grenier became paralyzed after a car accident in 2022. He very recently received a Neuralink brain implant in June 2025 and shared this captivating experience on X, calling it “absolutely amazing”. He was able to move a cursor and play video games using only mental commands.
The technology fundamentally is a small implantable chip that’s designed to form a direct communication path…
YouTuber soiboi soft upgraded his robot modelled after a salamander. The project is bio-inspired, copying designs and behaviors from the amphibian. The robot uses soft actuators and rolling diaphragms, making it flexible and allowing for clean and natural movements. The diaphragm pumps and solenoid valves controlled by an Arduino make up the electrofluidic system.
The legs are inspired…
Nordic Semiconductor is acquiring Neuton.AI’s core technology and IP. Neuton.AI specializes in automating Tiny ML processes, making it easy for non-experts to build AI models. Nordic plans to integrate Neuton.AI’s platform with its own nRF54 Series chips. These are chips that use very little power, with popularity among battery-operated devices. The combination should allow for smarter devices…
