Memristor is ‘missing link’ in bioelectronic medicines
Research led by the University of Southampton, has demonstrated that a nanoscale device, called a memristor, could be the ‘missing link’ in the development of implants that use electrical signals from the brain to help treat medical conditions.Monitoring neuronal cell activity is fundamental to neuroscience and the development of neuroprosthetics – biomedically engineered devices that are driven by neural activity.

Embedded systems: The future of the industry at electronica 2016
“Connected Worlds—Safe and Secure” is the motto of an exhibition sector at electronica, the International Trade Fair for Electronic Components, Systems and Applications, that revolves around the latest operating systems and networking technology in the electronics applications sector.
Making nanodiamonds by smashing nanotubes
Superman can famously make a diamond by crushing a chunk of coal in his hand, but Rice University scientists are employing a different tactic.Rice materials scientists are making nanodiamonds and other forms of carbon by smashing nanotubes against a target at high speeds. Nanodiamonds won't make anyone rich, but the process of making them will enrich the knowledge of engineers who design structures that resist damage from high-speed impacts.
Firmware updates over-the-air to be accompanied by a secure signature
Nordic’s newly released nRF5 SDK v12.0 allows firmware updates over-the-air to be accompanied by a secure signature that ensures the update comes from a verified and trusted source. In addition, the SDK now supports the Arduino development kit used with the Nordic nRF52832 SoC-based Arduino Primo base board.
High brightness TFT displays suit industrial, automotive & medical applications
Distec is now offering Tianma's NL192108AC18-02DNLT TFT displays in sizes 5.7-19". The displays offer wide, symmetrical viewing angles and high brightness, long life LED backlights and an integrated LED converter. They are suitable for a multitude of industrial, automotive and medical applications.
Wearable tracker keeps tabs on patients
Researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology have developed a multi-modal sensing device that can track the fine-grained activities and behaviour of people with dementia -- and it could help in Army combat training, too.
Measuring exposure to pollution through your phone
What’s the best way to measure human exposure to urban pollution? Typically, cities do so by studying air-quality levels in fixed places. New York City, for example, has an extensive monitoring network that measures air quality in 155 locations.But now a study led by MIT researchers, focused on New York City, suggests that using mobile-phone data to track people’s movement provides an even deeper picture of exposure to pollution in ur...
Reference design offers class-leading voice control performance
Nordic Semiconductor's 'nRFready Smart Remote 3 for nRF52 Series' reference design leverages the processing power and feature set of the nRF52832 BLE SoC to marry unparallelled voice input performance with ultra low power consumption.
BBC micro:bit gets J-Link firmware upgrade
J-Link support for the BBC micro:bit has been introduced by Segger. It provides students with a path to using a production grade IDE for their next micro:bit project. SEGGER offers the capability to upgrade the firmware on the BBC micro:bit DAPLink to a J-Link OB (On Board). This firmware makes the on-board debug solution on the BBC micro:bit compatible to J-Link, allowing users to take advantage of all J-Link features.
