If you are an electronics engineer or a hobbyist, you certainly know the importance of a breadboard during early prototyping. anyone who has used a breadboard would agree that even though the breadboards make the prototyping easier, they too come with their demerits, such as the connections can get loose over time or the connections may not be reliable or it would be harder to debug or to make…

The research found the market shift to prioritising BESS efficiency and solutions is facilitated by the need to meet climate goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Research experts have now found that by 2029, the savings potential from smart grids will increase by 249 percent, up from $84 million in 2024; benefitting utilities…

You might be wondering why the Raspberry Pis are so popular despite there are desktops or laptops that are much more powerful than a Pi. Apart from the small form factor and low power usage one of the major advantages is the availability of the GPIOs. With that, we can integrate them into any project from bare minimum to advanced robotic projects. So why can’t we use…

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minnesota, USA - DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, announced the release of Season 4 of the City Digital video series, “AI in the Smart World,” sponsored by Molex and STMicroelectronics. The new season of the three-episode…

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced 16 new Gen 3 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes. Featuring a merged PIN Schottky (MPS) design, the Vishay Semiconductors devices combine high surge current robustness with low forward voltage drop, capacitive charge, and reverse leakage current to increase efficiency and reliability in switching power…

Light and sound waves have long been known to manipulate objects, giving rise to technologies like optical and acoustic tweezers. These tools have found applications in fields such as biomedical engineering and quantum optics. However, their effectiveness has been limited to controlled environments. Researchers at EPFL have recently demonstrated a new technique that…

Increased revenue from the memory end-market in Q1 2024 offset the overall revenue decline. From the regional perspective, increased sales to China offset broader revenue declines in other regions.

The world’s top-five wafer fab equipment (WFE) manufacturers’ revenue decreased 9% YoY in Q1 2024 due to delayed customer investments in leading-edge semiconductors,…

RECOM has launched the RPMGE-10 and RPMGH-40, two new non-isolated DC/DC converters designed to balance cost-effectiveness with high performance. The RPMGE-10 provides a 10A output in half brick format, while the RPMGH-40 delivers 40A in eighth brick format, both accommodating an input range of 18-75VDC for various nominal values. These converters offer flexible 5V…

A group of researchers from Japan has introduced perforation-type anchors that could be used to adhere living skin to robotic surfaces, which is essential for mimicking real human-like expressions in humanoids. They initially tested this method with 2D robots and then applied it to a 3D facial mold.

Recently this month, a team of…

Transferscope is a Raspberry Pi-powered handheld device that creates new renderings from real-world images with the aid of AI. An AI researcher named Christopher Pietsch is the one who created this experimental device. The Transferscope allows users to capture an object or concept and blend it into any scene, creating imaginative realities. With the onboard screen…

u-blox has announced an expansion to its popular range of R10 products for the fast-growing LTE Cat 1bis cellular connectivity market. These new modules strengthen u-blox’s LTE Cat 1bis portfolio, serving both the IoT and users migrating from legacy 2G/3G cellular connectivity.
