A series of well-curated articles to understand the fundamental of electronics. The articles in this section elucidates basic concepts of electronics and design tips that can be equally useful to beginners and experts.
When current passes through a conductor it creates electromagnetic fields and almost all electronic devices like TVs, washing machines, induction stove, traffic lights, mobile phones, ATMs and laptops etc., will emit the electromagnetic fields. Fossil fueled vehicles also suffer from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) - The ignition system, starter motor and switches cause…
Internet of Things (IOT) is the technology that would change the future of how things would work and that we have seen in our previous IoT based Projects. The main aim of IOT is to connect devices and make things easier for humans to control. Now, with an increase in production and the use of IOT devices, the experts have predicted that the globe will have around 75 Billion…
A new JRC science-for-policy report by the European Commission's science and knowledge service projects that the prices of lithium ion batteries will collapse significantly by 50% in 2030 and further decline by 75% in 2040. This will impose relentless pricing pressure on manufacturers, pushing them to find new ways to mitigate manufacturing costs, including raw material…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term that describes millions of devices equipped with sensors and connected over the internet. IoT revolution has created a lifestyle revolution that provides convenience. It is because of IoT that we have smart cities, wearable technology, driverless cars, smart home appliances, smart medical devices, among many other intelligent devices.…
Many industries are able to fashion their products to align with what is the Industrial Revolution 4.0. One of the key players of this shift is the Internet of Things sector that is growing at dizzying heights even as we speak. However, the IoT sector has insurmountable data and network capacity that is proving to be a tad bit too complex for conventional connections. The…
Today's smartphones' fingerprint sensor in display technology represents the latest evolution in mobile fingerprint security, offering in screen fingerprint sensor capabilities that were once limited to flagship devices. As a result, these sensors are primarily used for smartphone security these days.
The cutthroat competition in the…
Braking is one of the important aspects of a vehicle. The mechanical braking system which we use in our vehicles has a big drawback of wasting the kinetic energy of the vehicle as heat. This brings down the overall efficiency of the vehicle by affecting the fuel economy. In the urban drive cycle, we tend to start and stop the vehicle more often when compared to highway drive…
On a fine morning you are crossing the road to reach your office on the other side, just when you are half the way through you notice a driverless piece of metal, a robot, advancing towards and you get into a dilemma deciding on to cross the road or not? A strong question presses your mind, “Did the car notice me?” Then you feel relieved when you observe that the speed of…
Nowadays, the world is shifting towards electrified mobility to reduce the pollutant emissions caused by nonrenewable fossil-fueled vehicles and to provide an alternative to pricey fuel for transportation. But for electric vehicles, travelling range and the charging process are the two major issues affecting their adoption over conventional vehicles. Wireless charging…
The statistics are alarming: In the United States alone, household leaks waste about 900 billion gallons of water each year. To put that number in perspective, that’s enough water to supply about 11 million homes annually. And other countries – from Europe to Asia – face similar challenges. Compounding this problem are anticipated water shortages.

The industrial ecosystem is in the mid of the fourth industrial revolution—Industry 4.0. Robots are taking over the global manufacturing landscape. The trend of robotic process automation has purveyed enormously across a wide range of industries, including automotive, semiconductor & electronics, and pharmaceuticals industries.
In the food…
As the world is gearing up to unleash an EV revolution, it is still true that the rate of adaption is slow. Electric Vehicles (EVs) despite being a greener, smoother and cheaper mode of transport does not seem to be practical yet. The reason is two words, Cost and Ecosystem. Currently EV’s are priced substantially at par with Gasoline cars making it a less significant choice…
