Improved diagnosis and treatment for eye diseases affecting the sight of millions across the globe has taken a major step forward, after Bristol-based health technology startup Siloton became the first commercial organisation in the world to take a sub-surface image of a human retina using photonic chip technology.

The AM68 scalable processor family is based on the evolutionary Jacinto 7 architecture, targeted at Smart Vision Camera and General Compute applications and built on extensive market knowledge accumulated over a decade of TI’s leadership in the Vision processor market.

The Faraday Institution’s latest report on UK gigafactories finds that they could support 35,000 jobs by 2040, along with a further 65,000 in the supply chain, but warns that the UK is not moving quickly enough.

DENSO and US startup Quadric have signed a development license agreement for a Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which is a semiconductor specialised for the arithmetic processing of AI.

Researchers from Texas A&M University are working on developing 3D-printed medication for treating the parasitic infection toxoplasmosis in children. Their aim is to make the treatment more accurate, accessible, and cost-effective as well as improving safety, compared to current options.

In2tec's unique technologies are making e-waste recycling an opportunity instead of an obligation.

Digital technologies enable companies to effectively address sustainability goals. Even though there are some considerable differences in the acceptance and usage intensity of the smart home and smart mobility, consumers in Europe, the US, and Asia see similarly high potential for climate protection through digital technologies.

STMicroelectronics has introduced a new bio-sensing chip for the next generations of healthcare wearables like smart watches, sports bands, connected rings, or smart glasses.

A co-operation has been established between UK (Cenex, FPS) and Korean (Thallos, Innoca, KETI, and KAATA) partners to evaluate opportunities for deploying smart city and smart grid enabled e-fleet and charger management platforms alongside cutting edge in-vehicle safety systems in the commercial vehicle sectors in both the UK and Korea.

A breakthrough in 3D-printing concrete by researchers at the University of Virginia has been achieved. The team have developed a sustainable and printable cementitious composite that combines graphene with limestone and calcined clay cement (LC2), enhancing both strength and durability while decreasing carbon emissions.
