Infineon releases second-generation non-volatile SRAM - How does it work?
Recently, Infineon announced the release of its second-generation non-volatile SRAM. What features does the new SRAM provide, how does it work, and what applications could it be used in? Infineon Releases New Non-Volatile SRAM Static Random Access Memory, or SRAM, is a vital memory technology for many designs thanks to its fast access time and ability to retain data without memory refresh cycles.
IoT Security Law Closer to Completion
The US is closer to passing a new law that would force branches of the government only to use IoT devices that meet a minimum level of security. Why is this law being brought in, what requirements does it suggest, and how can designers keep their IoT devices safe? Why is the US proposing a new IoT cybersecurity law? The Internet of Things, or IoT, is an entire industry of products that generally incorporate devices with basic internet capabilities.
Renesas Releases High-Performance Half-Bridge
Renesas announced their latest half-bridge MOSFET drivers with up to 100V operation. What are half-bridge drivers, why are they important, and what features do the Renesas devices provide? Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge Drivers A half-bridge circuit, at its essence, is a push-pull driver consisting of two transistors. Some arrangements use a P and N-type transistor to minimise the complexity in driving (as both inputs to the transistors can be connected), while others utilise two N-type transistors.
Nano-Inspired Thermoelectric Fibres for Wearable Electronics
While there have been many electronic devices which are ‘wearable’ for a good number of years, the next generation of wearable electronics is set to utilise textiles with built-in electronics. The next generation of wearable electronics widely revolves around the development of electronic textiles (e-textiles) and smart textiles.
UK Government Releases Whitepaper on Future Energy Generation
A recent press release by the UK Government discusses how smart energy meters and other technologies will help the UK meet its climate goals. What challenges does renewable energy provide, what solutions has the UK Government provided, and are such proposals viable? With global temperatures rising and the weather becoming more erratic and unpredictable, governments worldwide are starting to pay more attention to climate change. Many governments want to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Researchers Develop Drone that Shoots Darts for Environmental Monitoring
Recently, researchers from Imperial College London have created a drone that can shoot sensor-containing darts at trees for environmental monitoring purposes. What technologies are drones reliant on, why is a dart-shooting drone useful for environmental monitoring, and how will AI systems allow for future sensor missions with drones? What is drone technology?
Ferrari Red Pigment used in Low-Cost Organic Semiconductors
Researchers are exploring the use of Diketopyrrolopyrrole dye, better known as the pigment used in Ferrari Red, to fabricate low-cost organic electronics. What are OFETs, what advantages do organic electronics have, and what applications may they find themselves in? What is Diketopyrrolopyrrole dye? Diketopyrrolopyrrole dye, also known as DPP, are a range of organic dyes and pigments that utilise dilactam 2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione.
The dangers of internet data - How Alexa told a 10-year-old girl to touch live mains
Recently, a mother of a 10-year-old girl was left shocked when Amazons Alexa told her to take a penny and touch live mains. What exactly happened in this incident, how does this demonstrate the dangers of internet-gathered data, and how can engineers take measures in the future? In December 2021, a mother and daughter were looking for things to do around the home during bad weather.
How the NFL is Using IoT - Football and the Internet of Things
Autumn, for many sports fanatics, signifies the return of American football to collegiate and professional arenas. In these arenas, athletes duke it out. Since the inception of televised athletics, sports adopted the technology. While it may seem unusual, the National Football League (NFL) adopted the Internet of Things (IoT).
A New Flexible Solar Cell Approach with 2D Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Solar cells, and renewable energy in general, has been a hot topic, and we’re now at the stage where a number of solar cells are showing good efficiencies. In the solar cell space, inorganic and bulkier solar cells (such as those which use silicon as the semiconducting material for the photovoltaic junction) are the dominating type of cell because of their low manufacturing cost and relatively good power conversion efficiency (PCE).
