The company will be offering insight into its current supplier portfolio and providing the audience a better understanding of its services, suppliers and products. This year, embedded world will take place from 14th-16thMarch in Nuremberg, Germany. The key innovation set to be highlighted by the value added distribution partner at...

Navitas Semiconductor announces what it believes is the industry’s first integrated half-bridge Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power IC, with the introduction of the NV6250.

Researchers have shown how to modify commercially available silicon wafers into a structure that efficiently absorbs solar energy and withstands the high temperatures needed for "concentrated solar power" plants that might run up to 24 hours a day.The research advances global efforts to design hybrid systems that combine solar photovoltaic cells, which convert visible and ultraviolet light into electricity, thermoelectric devices that convert hea...

Researchers in AMBER, the Science Foundation Ireland-funded materials science research centre hosted in Trinity College Dublin, have fabricated printed transistors consisting entirely of 2-dimensional nanomaterials for the first time. These 2D materials combine exciting electronic properties with the potential for low-cost production.

The darkest form of ultraviolet light, known as UV-C, is unique because of its reputation as a killer - of harmful organisms.With wavelengths of between 200 and 280 nanometers, this particular form of UV light penetrates the membranes of viruses, bacteria, mold and dust mites, attacking their DNA and killing them.

Transparent biosensors embedded into contact lenses could soon allow doctors and patients to monitor blood glucose levels and a host of other telltale signs of disease without invasive tests. Scientists say the bio-sensing lenses, based on technology that led to the development of smartphones with more vivid displays, also could potentially be used to track drug use or serve as an early detection system for cancer and other serious medical condit...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have created elastic, touch-sensitivefibres that can interface with electronic devices."Touch is a common way to interact with electronics using keyboards and touch screens," says Michael Dickey, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at NC State and corresponding author of a paper describing the work.

Manufacturer of lighting and sensing products and components, Plessey, is now targeting handheld and portable lighting applications. When lighting is dependent on battery power, the benefit of a single-chip that can outperform the standard four-chip by 30% is clear to see.Plessey LEDs utilise its MaGIC GaN-on-Silicon technology to provide high-power LED components and system-level lighting solutions, from blue die through to complete luminaires.

To decide whether a new material has promise as a semiconductor or meets a manufacturer's specifications, companies need to be able to essentially count the number of freely moving "charge carriers" floating within the material, as well as their mobility or how easily they are able to move. Negative carriers are electrons; positive carriers are referred to as "holes" and are places where an electron is missing.

Space is becoming ever more cluttered with defunct satellites, spent rocket boosters and sundry stray pieces after the first satellite was launched almost 60 years ago.
