Scientists at Hokkaido University have developed light-powered molecular motors that repetitively bend and unbend, bringing us closer to molecular robots. Researchers are working on mimicking cellular systems to develop molecular motors that can move or even deliver drugs to target tissues. Engineering such motors may ultimately lead to molecular robots that can execute more complex tasks.

Recent years have been a golden age for MEMS markets, with large, increasing volumes driven by consistent smart phone shipment growth. “We have now entered more uncertain times,” announces Yole Développement. The market for smart phones/portable applications is levelling out, meaning MEMS markets are growing more slowly than in previous years.Today, CAGR from 2015-2021 for the value of MEMS markets will be 8.9%, moving from $11...

When an airplane begins to move faster than the speed of sound, it creates a shockwave that produces a well-known "boom" of sound. Now, researchers at MIT and elsewhere have discovered a similar process in a sheet of graphene, in which a flow of electric current can, under certain circumstances, exceed the speed of slowed-down light and produce a kind of optical "boom": an intense, focused beam of light.

The IDTechEx report, Microcontrollers and Single-board Computers 2016-2026, is the first to reveal the big picture developing from the close relationship between these devices. The report provides newly researched forecasts leading to figures such as $300bn in 2026 for SBCs alone. Applications, technologies, players and markets are revealed in easily understood infographics offering a depth never seen before. For example, the ten year forecasts f...

ARCCORE has introduced Arctic Fusion, a prototype board suitable for ADAS development. The board was developed in co-operation with a major OEM. The main purpose of Arctic Fusion and the joint project is to test new technologies and concepts needed for future active safety systems.

Mobileye and STMicroelectronics has announced that the two companies are co-developing the next (5th) generation of Mobileye’s SoC, the EyeQ5, to act as the central computer performing sensor fusion for Fully Autonomous Driving (FAD) vehicles starting in 2020.

Love them or hate them, 'listicles' are here to stay. Last month, TIME assembled a team of journalists to compile the ultimate tech catalogue counting down 50 of the most influential gadgets of all time. That got me walking down memory lane so I put together a list of five of the most iconic products to use MIPS. By Alexandru Voica, Senior Marketing Manager, Imagination Technologies.

congatec has introduced two Server-on-Modules based on the latest Intel Xeon E3-1578L and E3-1558 processors, which have been designed for real-time media processing. The conga-TS170 modules feature integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics accelerated by 128MB fast eDRAM and double graphics base frequency for outstanding transcoding and video processing performance.

Marking a significant milestone in the fast-approaching self-driving vehicles era, NXP Semiconductors has demonstrated a comprehensive and highly manufacturable autonomous vehicles platform leveraging NXP’s BlueBox engine and deploying NXP silicon and software solutions at each ADAS node. The system demonstration incorporates the BlueBox central computing engine, together with radar, lidar, and vision sensing, as well as an onboard secure V...

Synopsys has announced the DesignWare EV6x family, its latest generation of processor cores optimised for embedded vision applications requiring high definition resolutions. The fully programmable and configurable EV61, EV62 and EV64 embedded vision processors integrate one, two or four vision CPU cores and a programmable convolution neural network (CNN) engine.
