According to Dr. Ana Villamor, Technology & Market Analyst at Yole Développement (Yole): "The GaN market promises an imminent growth. 2015 and 2016 have been undoubtedly exciting years for the GaN power business. we project the explosion of the market with 84% CAGR between 2017 and 2022. The market value will so reach $450m at the end of the period.” What make the power GaN technology so promising?

Stanford researchers have developed an algorithm that offers diagnoses based off chest X-ray images. It can diagnose up to 14 types of medical conditions and is able to diagnose pneumonia better than expert radiologists working alone. A paper about the algorithm, called CheXNet, was published on the open-access, scientific preprint website arXiv.

Availability and full design support capabilities for a new series of DC/DC converters from RECOM Power (RECOM) have been announced by distributor Richardson RFPD. The RxxPxxyyD Series devices feature 6400VDC isolation and <10pF isolation capacitance and have been designed to fulfill the demanding requirements of high slew-rate SiC transistor drivers.

Today a wide variety of laser technologies is available to semiconductor manufacturers and enables the development of innovative semiconductor manufacturing processes. According to Yole Développement (Yole), the laser equipment market will grow at a 15% CAGR between 2016 and 2022 and should reach more than $4bn by 2022 (excluding marking). Those figures are showing the massive adoption of laser technologies for semiconductor manufacturing ...

Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced a new solution package for its RZ/T1 Group of microprocessors (MPUs) supporting HIPERFACE DSL digital encoder interface for AC servo applications. The support of HIPERFACE DSL for RZ/T1 reduces the customer’s system bill-of-materials (BOM) cost and enables faster time-to-market.

When billionaire Alibaba founder Jack Ma wrote in an open letter earlier this year, 'We need to fight counterfeits the same way, we fight drunk driving', his sentiments reflected how bad the global counterfeiting trend has become. Mobile phones are one of the most trafficked goods in the electronics counterfeit market. According to a recent study by OECD, approximately one in five, that is about 19% of mobile handsets sold in the world, are count...

A portable holographic field microscope developed by UConn optical engineers could provide medical professionals with a fast and reliable new tool for the identification of diseased cells and other biological specimens.The device, featured in a recent paper published by Applied Optics, uses the latest in digital camera sensor technology, advanced optical engineering, computational algorithms, and statistical analysis to provide rapid automated id...

Using a computational approach known as deep learning, scientists have developed a new system to classify the shapes of red blood cells in a patient's blood. The findings, published in PLOS Computational Biology, could potentially help doctors monitor people with sickle cell disease.A person with sickle cell disease produces abnormally shaped, stiff red blood cells that can build up and block blood vessels, causing pain and sometimes death.
