Some novel materials that sound too good to be true turn out to be true and good. An emergent class of semiconductors, which could affordably light up our future with nuanced colors emanating from lasers, lamps, and even window glass, could be the latest example.These materials are very radiant, easy to process from solution, and energy-efficient.

Researchers have developed a 3D printable 'clip-on' that allows anyone – from scientists to the scientifically curious – to turn their smartphone into a fully functional microscope.The smartphone microscope is powerful enough to visualise specimens as small as 1/200th of a millimetre, including microscopic organisms, animal and plant cells, blood cells, cell nuclei and more.

An ultrathin elastic display that fits on the skin can show the moving waveform of an electrocardiogram recorded by a breathable, on-skin electrode sensor. Combined with a wireless communication module, this integrated biomedical sensor system can transmit biometric data to the cloud.Thanks to advances in semiconductor technology, wearable devices can now monitor health by measuring vital signs or taking an electrocardiogram, and then transmittin...

The Synergy AE-CLOUD1 application example kit from Renesas Electronics is available at Mouser Electronics. Featuring all the equipment, firmware and software necessary to develop cloud-connected applications, the kit enables engineers to connect to the Renesas IoT Sandbox, a free prototyping environment, where they can prototype and evaluate cloud-based developer accounts and editable application examples.

Ultraviolet beams are an efficient means of water purification or sterilisation. LGInnotek, industrial partner, and LASER COMPONENTS, has announced the first UVC modules with water resistant (IPX7) and waterproof (IPX8) housings. They can be applied close to or even in liquids, thus providing highly efficient purification and low dispersion losses.

The Series 18 range of tactile, compact, actuators and indicators has been designed by EAO specifically for use in the latest generation of laboratory & measuring equipment, medical equipment, audio & video applications (such as mixing desks and mobile camera control systems), lighting and stage control systems.

TE Connectivity will highlight its latest innovations and products that address key industry trends at the 2018 Light + Building Expo in Frankfurt, Germany.Today, networked lighting platforms require solutions for harsh environments enabling IoT in smart cities to improve energy efficiency, safety and security. The TE team will be on hand throughout the show to discuss how the company’s integrated solutions and functional synergies can help...

Introducing a performance of 100 mW, LG Innotek, industrial partner of LASERCOMPONENTS, sets new standards for single-chip UVC LEDs. The manufacturerstates that this development is two years ahead of current industry forecasts. Sofar, experts had assumed that similar output powers would not be achieved until2020.Optimised chip design leads to considerable increase in UV output, while wasteheat is discharged effectively, and therefore granting sta...

Prüftechnik Schneider & Koch Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH is further expanding the LED inspection range for their LaserVision LED. The Bremen-based AOI specialist is presenting a reel-to-reel option to the professional public for the first time at the Light & Building trade fair, which will open its doors in Frankfurt am Main in March. The AOI and LED testing of rolled LED ribbons is thus possible.

As a result of growing demand for smaller LED lighting installations that also provide high efficiency and ultra-low EMI, Diodes Incorporated has extended its BCR420U and BCR421U families of linear LED drivers to include the BCR420UFD and BCR421UFD devices in the ultra-low profile DFN2020 package, making them suitable for 12 and 24V LED edge-lighting applications.
