Is it worth switching to electric vehicles in 2023?
With just seven years left until the 2030 ban of new petrol and diesel vehicles takes effect, many are wondering whether now is the time to make the switch to an electric vehicle.
Bringing embedded connectivity to the travel industry
Air traffic hit about 70% of pre-pandemic levels globally in 2022, as a sense of normality returned to the skies.
Breaking down the biggest misconceptions surrounding EVs
Despite the expected shift towards electric and zero emission vehicles, there’s still a lot of controversy surrounding them. Are they really any cheaper to run? What’s their true environmental impact?
Securing our water supply
According to water regulator Ofwat, around three billion litres of water are lost through water pipe leaks in the UK every day.
How embedded vision is contributing to the smart retail revolution
The rapid evolution of the retail industry demands cutting-edge technology to drive innovation and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.
The impact of load on miniaturised motor selection

The UK needs hydrogen to achieve net zero goals
The UK Hydrogen Strategy estimates that to meet Net Zero aims by 2050, hydrogen will make up 20―35% of the UK’s final energy demand (250―460 TWh a year).
Taking the pressure off
While a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) was, at first, predominantly the preserve of Europe’s luxury car fleets, it’s increasingly becoming a legal requirement across the globe.
Manufacturing microelectronics
McKinsey & Co predicts that the semiconductor industry will be worth $1 trillion by 2030.
How Arm Cortex-M0+ MCUs optimize general-purpose processing, sensing and control
Microcontrollers (MCUs) in embedded systems are the equivalent of air traffic control in a busy airport. MCUs sense their operating environment, take actions based on those observations, and communicate with related systems. They manage and control signals in an almost endless list of electronics, from digital thermometers to smoke detectors to heating, ventilation and air-conditioning motors.
