Manufacturers are looking for new opportunities to increase their revenues and margins. In this context, the IR LED market is perceived as a potential new ‘blue ocean’ with attractive opportunities for those players.

A future android brain like that of Star Trek’s Commander Data might contain neuristors, multi-circuit components that emulate the firings of human neurons.Neuristors already exist today in labs, in small quantities, and to fuel the quest to boost neuristors’ power and numbers for practical use in brain-like computing, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded a $7.1 million grant to a research team led by the Georgia Institute of Te...

The new IDTechEx Research report 'Electric Buses 2018-2038'is about hybrid and pure electric buses, often in many new forms, powering up to be a massive $500bn market. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

The global drone market is worth over £102bn. The UK government has announced new changes to drone legislation, including plans to introduce drone registration and safety courses for UAV owners. In a move to improve accountability and encourage owners to act responsibly, drone registration will be obligatory for anyone in possession of an aircraft weighing more than 250g.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared the first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device specifically for neonatal brain and head imaging in neonatal intensive care units (NICU).“Although we can use traditional MRI scanners to image neonates, taking babies outside of the neonatal intensive care unit to MRI suites presents great challenges,” said Vasum Peiris, M.D., M.P.H., chief medical officer for pediatrics and special popula...

Traditional cameras-even those on the thinnest of cell phones-cannot be truly flat due to their optics: lenses that require a certain shape and size in order to function. At Caltech, engineers have developed a new camera design that replaces the lenses with an ultra-thin optical phased array (OPA). The OPA does computationally what lenses do using large pieces of glass: it manipulates incoming light to capture an image.

The secret ingredients for producing sleek vehicles for years have been common knowledge to only car manufacturers.But now, the wizards from Silicon Valley are eclipsing powerful engines and sleek bodywork with invisible algorithms.Until recently, self-driving cars were no more than pie in the sky. But suddenly, everyone is in a rush. Even legislators, who are generally not known for acting quickly.

OEMs and contract assemblers are constantly seeking a technological edge over their competitors, investing in better, more modern machines, to win new business and grow their market share. A high level of automation is now applied at each point in the surface-mount assembly flow, from program generation through solder-paste deposition, component placement, inspection, reflow and test.

Electrical engineers at Duke University have invented an inexpensive printed sensor that can monitor the tread of car tyres in real time, warning drivers when the rubber meeting the road has grown dangerously thin.

Intended for use in a range of USB PD products employing direct current (DC) power including AC adapters, PCs, smartphones, other consumer and office equipment, and toys,Renesas Electronics has announced its new R9J02G012 USB Power Delivery (USB PD) controller. According to Renesas, the R9J02G012 is the industry’s first single package solution that supports both USB Power Delivery Rev. 3.0 (USB PD 3.0) and USB Type-C Authentication Rev 1.0,...
