Sunon has released its HVAC 1/3 HP EC motor. This high performance, permanent magnet brushless motor is designed to offer much higher energy efficiency (92%) than conventional AC motors under heavy loading. In fact, compared with an AC shaded pole induction motor, the Sunon HVAC 1/3 HP EC can reduce energy consumption by an impressive 70%, and by 40% compared with an AC condensing motor.Sunon HVAC EC motors are intended for use in the evaporator ...

Just as the single-crystal silicon wafer forever changed the nature of communication 60 years ago, a group of Cornell researchers is hoping its work with quantum dot solids - crystals made out of crystals - can help usher in the latest era in electronics. The team, led by Tobias Hanrath, associate professor in the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, has fashioned two-dimensional superstructures out of single-cr...

Whereas to date Lumberg connected the traces ending at the edge of a printed circuit board with edge connectors, SKEDD technology now presents the possibility to connect printed circuit boards at any location. A solderless, even detachable spring-loaded contact in the PCB’s boreholes in combination with a possible locking mechanism on the contact base guarantees the safe electrical and mechanical connection with the traces on the board.

NXP’s Smarter World Tour is starting its journey in Europe today. The Smarter World Tour is a highly visible, 36 tons, 2 levels, fully mobile semi-truck trailer designed by Luigi Colani which turns into a large and spacious mobile tradeshow. The aim of the NXP Smarter World Tour in Europe is to allow the company to engage with its customers, partners, as well as universities and communities and let them discover and experience first-hand th...

Nowhere is the progress of technology more evident than in the defence sector. In this article Electronic Specifier Design Editor Joe Bush talks to Paul Currie, Sales and Marketing Director of MPE, a manufacturer of EMC filters and capacitors, about the current dangers in the industry and the role his company plays in mitigating these risks.

Researchers at MIT, the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Colorado have used existing processes found in microchip fabrication facilities to produce an optoelectronic microprocessor, which computes electronically but uses light to move information.

Scientists have developed a device that electronically stimulates tear production, which will offer hope to sufferers of 'dry eye' syndrome, one of the most common eye diseases in the world. The device, 16mm long, 3-4mm wide and 1-2mm thick, was implanted beneath the inferior lacrimal gland in rabbit eyes. It was activated wirelessly and shown to increase the generation of tears by nearly 57%.

Zhenan Bao, a professor of chemical engineering at Stanford, has been trying, for a long time, to develop a material that mimics skin's ability to flex and heal, while also serving as the sensor net that sends touch, temperature and pain signals to the brain. Ultimately she wants to create a flexible electronic fabric embedded with sensors that could cover a prosthetic limb and replicate some of skin's sensory functions.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) has selected the Scalable Planar ARray (SPAR) Tile technology, from M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, for use in a test bed for the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Arrays at the Commercial Timescale (ACT) programme.

No other industry has undergone the scope and scale of progress and change that the electronics industry has achieved since the 1960s. Imagine life without the internet, mobile communications, PCs, tablets and printers, let alone cars without electronic safety and entertainment systems or hospitals without sophisticated diagnostic equipment.
