Scientists at Heriot-Watt University have reported they are one step closer to technology that could result in electrons being replaced with photons, solving the looming ‘speed limit’ for electronic gadgets.According to Dr Marcello Ferrera, an assistant professor in Photonics and Optics at Heriot-Watt, electronics have had such long-term success mainly due to how much smaller devices have become, and how robust they are, even when mad...

Manufacturer of electronic components, modules, and devices, Murata, has introduced the LQW15DN series of inductors for use in communication devices such as smartphones. In their 1005 size (1.0×0.5mm), the company claims that they are the world's smallest inductor at a large inductance rating of 15µH.

Piezoelectric materials are used for applications ranging from the spark igniter in barbeque grills to the transducers needed by medical ultrasound imaging. Thin-film piezoelectrics, with dimensions on the scale of micrometers or smaller, offer potential for new applications where smaller dimensions or a lower voltage operation are required.

The 5th generation of cellular networks is anticipated to arrive in the timeframe of the next two to five years, enabling Gbps datarates and a plethora of new applications and services. One of the key drivers for developing such speed is high resolution video demand (4, 8K etc) over mobile devices.

Qualcomm Technologies a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated and SenseTime Group have announced plans to collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for future mobile and IoT products.This collaboration will draw from the expertise of both companies in AI by leveraging SenseTime’s ML models and algorithms with Qualcomm Snapdragon premium and high-tier platforms, which offer advanced heterogeneous computing capabilit...

Osram Opto Semiconductors is expanding its existing portfolio for flash applications with a product featuring a specially developed Chip Sized Package (CSP). With Ceramos C, Osram is following the trend for miniaturisation as the new LED is the smallest yet in its product family. It is suitable for flash applications on smartphones, producing illumination for every snapshot.
