Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign have developed a method for making brighter and more efficient green LEDs. Using an industry-standard semiconductor growth technique, they have created GaN cubic crystals grown on a silicon substrate that are capable of producing powerful green light for advanced solid-state lighting.

Researchers at Stanford and IBM Research report the development of chemical approaches that could efficiently and inexpensively generate biodegradable plastics suitable for making an array of items as diverse as forks, medical devices and fabrics. The study is published in the current issue ofNature Chemistry.As with many chemical reactions, creating biodegradable polyesters requires the assistance of a catalyst – a special class of chemica...

The Internet of Things Solutions World Congress (IoTSWC) will return to Barcelona in October for its second year, bringing together the world’s leading authorities and influencers in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).The event, organised by Fira Barcelona and taking place at the Gran Via Venue, runs from 25th-27th October and will see more than 160 exhibitors, 200 keynote speakers and in excess of 8,000 visitors.

The global M&A advisory firm to the technology industry, Magister Advisors,has issued the following analysis, pinpointing the inversion of conventional M&A ‘laws’ for AI companies. The key points:

Using folded DNA to precisely place glowing molecules within microscopic light resonators, researchers at Caltech have created one of the world's smallest reproductions of Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night. The reproduction and the technique used to create it are described in a paper published in the advance online edition of the journalNature.

A controller module has been released by Artila Electronics. RIO-2015PG, the FreeRTOS programmable remote I/O module. RIO-2015PG is powered by a 32-bit Atmel SAM4E16E 120MHz ARM Cortex M4 processor which is equipped with 256kB SRAM, 3MB Flash and FreeRTOS real time operating system.

A microchip containing 1,000 independent programmable processors has been designed by a team at the University of California, Davis, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.The energy-efficient KiloCore chip has a maximum computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and contains 621 million transistors.

"The IoT industry is confusing need with demand" said Professor Mischa Dohler, King's College London and Co-founder of Worldsensing, in an opening session at this week’s CW 8th Future of Wireless International Conference at the IET: Savoy Place in London. “People don’t care about smart homes and smart cities, they care about better healthcare and less congestion.”

ICT-STREAMS, a part of the European Union Horizon 2020 programme, is an ambitious project aiming to develop the necessary transceiver and routing technologies to enable multi-terabit on-board chip-to-chip communications.

It has been announced that Ted Speers, Head of Product Architecture and Planning for its SoC business unit, has been appointed to the inaugural board of directors of the RISC-V Foundationby Microsemi Corporation. The nonprofit formally introduced Speers and six other board members at the fourth annual RISC-V Workshop, held at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts 12th-13th July, 2016.
