Researchers at Penn State and the Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are pushing the limits of electron microscopy into the tens of picometre scale, a fraction of the size of a hydrogen atom.The ability to see at this subatomic level is crucial for designing new materials with unprecedented properties, such as materials that transition from metals to semiconductors or that exhibit superconductivity.

Provider of RF, microwave and millimetrewave products, Pasternack has announced a new line of high-rel frequency dividers that cover wide frequency bandwidths from 0.5-18GHz and are available in 2, 4, 5, 8 and 10 divide-by-prescaler configurations.

A trio of new products from ARM hardware developer Embux have been introduced by Logic Supply. The two Single Board Computers (the ICM-2010 and the ICM-3011) and tiny Box PC (ICS-2010) are designed for use by industrial hardware developers looking to standardise on a highly versatile, long lifecycle, wide temperature computing platform that was built from the ground up for commercial use.

BVM has announced three embedded SBCs based on the 15W TDP 6th generation Skylake-U Core i7/i5/i3 processors and the Sunrise Point chipset offering high performance, intensive graphics capability, low power consumption and fanless operation. The LV-67T Mini-ITX, the LP-175 Pico-ITX and the LE-37G 3.5" embedded SBCs are suited for applications including IoT, retail POS and transaction processing, signage, kiosks, gaming machines, medical equipment...

Using a unique single-molecule force measurement tool, a research team has developed a clearer understanding of how platelets sense the mechanical forces they encounter during bleeding to initiate the cascading process that leads to blood clotting.Beyond providing a better understanding of this vital bodily process, research into a mechanoreceptor molecule that triggers clotting could provide a potential new target for therapeutic intervention.

ARCHOS announces that it has joined the LoRa Alliance, the leading technology alliance for the IoT and LPWAN. Among the other members of the Alliance, together with its partners, the French consumer electronics manufacturer, intends to deliver additional solutions compatible to the LoRaWAN protocol, for a wider ecosystem, in line with organizations’ technological demand as well as budget constraint.

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are exploring the concept of a wearable personal cloud - a fully functioning, yet compact and lightweight cloud computing system embedded into clothing.

Silicon memory chips come in two broad types: volatile memory, such as computer RAM that loses data when the power is turned off, and nonvolatile flash technologies that store information even after we shut off our smartphones.In general, volatile memory is much faster than nonvolatile storage, so engineers often balance speed and retention when picking the best memory for the task. That's why slower flash is used for permanent storage.

A manufacturer of passive components and interconnect solutions, AVX Corporation,has released a 2.9GHz 0805 high performance, low pass Integrated Thin Film (ITF) SMD filter that exhibits low insertion loss and extremely sharp roll-off in high frequency (1.7-2.9GHz) wireless applications, including: mobile communications systems, microcell and picocell base stations, satellite TV receivers, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), vehicle location system...

IBM scientists have created randomly spiking neurons using phase-change materials to store and process data. This demonstration marks a significant step forward in the development of energy-efficient, ultra-dense integrated neuromorphic technologies for applications in cognitive computing.Inspired by the way the biological brain functions, scientists have theorised for decades that it should be possible to imitate the versatile computational capa...
