Electronic Specifier, a trusted resource for electronics engineers, designers, and industry professionals, is pleased to announce its participation at electronica 2024.

In an industry often dominated by men, Ayesha Iqbal, IEEE senior member and Engineering Trainer at the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), is proving that perseverance and dedication are powerful tools if you are passionate about what you love. 

Recent advancements in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology have enabled a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to communicate.

Electronic Specifier announces the release of a new technical article: ‘The impact of AI within electronic design: a contextualised analysis of current and future AI application in electronic design.’

Google DeepMind has announced a significant breakthrough in robotics: it has successfully trained a robot to play table tennis at an amateur competitive level against human opponents. This achievement marks the first instance of a robot being trained to compete in a sport with humans at a comparable skill level.

With wide bandgap semiconductors like Gallium Nitride (GaN) and Silicon Carbide (SiC) growing in popularity, it begs the question: GaN or SiC?

Parrot AI is a company that has developed an artificial intelligence-powered tool designed to improve the efficiency and productivity of virtual meetings.

A recent feasibility study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has demonstrated that an implantable device, which adjusts its operation based on real-time brain activity, may help better manage Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms for certain people.

It’s not a question of ‘what is an NEV maker?’ but rather ‘who?’ An NEV maker is a term that refers to a manufacturer producing New Energy Vehicles (NEVs), which include electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). *Not to be confused with NEV (Neighbourhood Electric Vehicle).

Electronic waste, commonly known as e-waste, represents an escalating global challenge, with projections indicating it will worsen as new flexible electronics for robotics, wearable devices, health monitors, and other innovative applications, including single-use devices, continue to be developed.

A team of researchers led by the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering have developed small-diameter vascular grafting, using a combination of 3D printing (specifically extrusion printing) and electrospinning techniques, which are used in surgeries to treat cardiovascular diseases. These grafts are designed to replace or bypass damaged blood vessels in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

A new record in wireless EV charging capabilities has been set by a team of researchers working on an experimental Porsche Taycan.

A Hall effect switch is a type of sensor that detects the presence of a magnetic field and converts this detection into an electrical signal, which can then be used to trigger or control other electronic devices. Although it functions as a sensor, the term "switch" reflects its dual role in sensing and controlling circuit states.

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a novel 3D printing method that is both simple and environmentally friendly.

In the ongoing quest for precision, scientists have developed the World’s newest most accurate and precise clock that surpasses all previous standards of accuracy and reliability.

A team led by Professor Zhiyong Fan from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has furthered the development of advanced wearable display technologies.

The NFC chip is embedded securely within a passport, typically on the back side of the front cover.

Cornwall-based Fishy Filaments, pioneer of technology that transforms end-of-life fishing nets into high-value materials for 3D printing and injection moulding, has surpassed its Crowdcube campaign funding target with more than a week to go.

At the end of July 2024, Belgian semiconductor manufacturer BelGaN filed for bankruptcy, marking the end of a challenging chapter in the company’s brief history.

Saietta Group is a UK-based company that specialises in developing electric propulsion technology.
