Memory chip can store up to 3 bits per cell
For the first time, scientists at IBM Research have demonstrated reliably storing 3 bits of data per cell using a relatively memory technology known as phase-change memory (PCM).The current memory landscape spans from venerable DRAM to hard disk drives to ubiquitous flash. But in the last several years PCM has attracted the industry's attention as a potential universal memory technology based on its combination of read/write speed, endurance, non...
Quantum computing is now available to everyone
IBM Research has announced that for the first time ever it is making quantum computing available to members of the public, who can access and run experiments on IBM’s quantum processor. IBM scientists have built a quantum processor that users can access through a first-of-a-kind quantum computing platform delivered via the IBM Cloud onto any desktop or mobile device.
Using flexible platforms to reduce cost
While many aspects of the IoT remain unresolved, if there is one certainty it is that there will be no ‘normal’. Every ‘thing’ in the IoT will likely be designed to accomplish a specific objective. And commercial pressure will demand that it achieves that objective in the most cost effective way possible. Avnet Memec Silica explain.
Apprenticeship employer groups unite to create more opportunities
Employers are working together to help ensure the UK has the range and quality of apprenticeships businesses need right across the digital economy. Over the last two years employers have been collaborating to develop a new suite of digital and tech apprenticeships, under the Government’s Trailblazer initiative. Apprenticeships and degree apprenticeships are now available for occupations such as digital marketing, software development, data ...
Electronic nose can be used in health diagnosis
Researchers at the Texas Analog Center of Excellence (TxACE) at UT Dallas are working to develop an affordable electronic nose that can be used in breath analysis for a wide range of health diagnosis. While devices that can conduct breath analysis using compound semiconductors exist, they are bulky and too costly for commercial use, said Dr. Kenneth O, one of the principal investigators of the effort and director of TxACE. The researchers determi...
First open IoT ecosystem for industrial & commercial applications
Three leading IoT companies have demonstrated the first end-to-end IoT ecosystem designed with re-usable infrastructure and open industry standards for industrial and commercial applications at scale. Advantech B+B SmartWorx, Connect2 Systems and DevicePilot delivered automatic remote monitoring and management of industrial ultra-low power IoT sensor devices using constrained wireless networks and open IoTstandards developed by the Open Mobile Al...
