New Electronics

Quinas Technology has completed an Innovate UK‑funded research project examining the use of its proprietary ULTRARAM memory technology in neuromorphic computing applications. The project was delivered under the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Developing Semiconductor Hardware for Critical Technologies programme and marks a further step in Quinas’ efforts to develop ULTRARAM as a new class of memory aimed at secure, energy‑efficient and sustainable artificial intelligence systems.

Wooptix has broken ground on a new cleanroom facility in Tenerife, Spain, expanding its research, development and manufacturing capabilities in semiconductor metrology. The new site will serve as a central hub for the assembly of Wooptix’s equipment, as well as testing, validation and customer demonstrations.

Tria Technologies, an Avnet company specialising in embedded compute boards, systems and human–machine interfaces, has launched a new COM‑HPC Client computer‑on‑module based on Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 3). The new module is Tria’s first to incorporate Intel’s latest processor generation and is aimed at edge AI applications in areas such as automation and robotics, where high performance and long‑term reliability are required.

Highly sophisticated electrical architectures with a selection of connectors are key to facilitating the reliable transmission of power and data under extreme operational conditions for aircraft. This article explores how to choose connectors that meet the demands of modern aviation. Connectors for eVTOL applications must meet a unique set of stringent requirements beyond those found in conventional aircraft.

UltraSense Systems has unveiled a new ultrasound‑based tactile intelligence platform aimed at improving touch perception in robotics and other physically interactive AI systems. The company said customer evaluation kits for the platform will be available from 1 June 2026, enabling assessment and system integration by early adopters. As robots move beyond controlled environments and into real‑world deployments, reliable touch sensing is increasingly seen as a critical capability.

While cellular IoT has developed rapidly and is now the cornerstone technology in long-range wirelessly connected devices, common misconceptions still exist. According to IoT Analytics, there were nearly 1.3 billion global LPWAN IoT connections at the end of 2023, with NB-IoT (58 percent) and LTE-M (15 percent) making up 73 percent of the installed base. Nevertheless, there are plenty of myths regarding the reach, power consumption, complexity, and robustness of the technology.

Moving your electronics assembly to a new EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) partner is a significant strategic decision. It can reshape how your business manages quality, costs and long‑term growth. Whether the move is driven by recurring production issues, late deliveries or limited technical capability, the transition often reflects a need for greater efficiency and control.

The company is working with academic partners including Indiana University, the University of Sheffield and a CNRS laboratory in Marseille to explore the use of breath analysis for detecting diabetes and other diseases. Using sensors measuring around 2 mm, Nanoz is developing systems designed to support early, non‑invasive diagnostics, with potential implications for healthcare provision in the UK and internationally.

Microchip Technology has announced a strategic collaboration with Sunny Smartlead, a subsidiary of Sunny Optical Technology Group, to strengthen the global ecosystem around the Automotive SerDes Alliance Motion Link (ASA‑ML) standard for in‑vehicle connectivity. As part of the agreement, Sunny Smartlead is introducing advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS) camera modules based on Microchip’s VS700 family of ASA‑ML serializer devices.

Vector Informatik has expanded its CANoe Test Package EV to include dedicated security testing for electric vehicle charging communication, addressing growing concerns around cybersecurity in connected charging systems. The new extension is designed to help vehicle manufacturers and suppliers identify vulnerabilities in charging communication at an early stage of development.
