Is battery swapping the solution for the EV charging problem?
While EV technologies continue to improve, the lack of charging ports and the high cost of EVs continues to make their adoption difficult. Why are charging ports problematic, how would a battery-swapping scheme work, and is it a practical solution? Despite what many may think, Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been around longer than the internal combustion engine meaning that the first cars were in fact electric.
Intel announces Loihi 2 - A Neuromorphic Chip
Recently, Intel announced the development of its latest neuromorphic chip called Loihi2 and an open framework for developing solutions for it. What is neuromorphic computing, what are the specifics of the Loihi 2 chip, and could neuromorphic designs be the solution to advanced AI systems? Neuromorphic computing is a computing technology whose function closely resembles neurons in the brain.
Why Heavy Rain is not bad for LiDAR and Self-Driving Vehicles
A recent study from the University of Warwick demonstrated how heavy rain could affect LiDAR in automotive vehicles, but the claim that this is problematic is blown out of proportion. What sensing technologies can be used in vehicles, what did the researchers discover, and why is it not important? What sensing technologies exist for automotive vehicles? As discussed in previous articles, there are no self-driving systems to date that provide users with a real autonomous experience.
Researchers Develop Biocompatible Supercapacitor
Recently, researchers developed a new thin, flexible supercapacitor that is not only biocompatible but can degrade inside living tissue safely. What challenges do implanted devices face, what materials make this supercapacitor, and what applications can be used in? What challenges do implanted medical devices face? When designing electronics for the medical field, some stringent measures and regulations must be followed.
End of Life Components: Altium Partners with IHS Markit Electronic Parts Solutions
Altium have announced their partnership with IHS Markit Electronic Parts Solutions to help engineers deal with end-of-life callouts for components. Why do end-of-life announcements hit engineers hard, and how can forecasting allow engineers to make better decisions? The Dreaded Announcement If its one thing that most, if not all, engineers have experienced at least once in their lives is the dreaded announcement that a part which they desperately need.
Researchers create new security method for wireless transmission
Most security measures in communication systems focus on encryption, but researchers have recently developed a new security feature that makes signals appear as noise. Why is encryption so important, what did the researchers develop, and could it be implemented in future systems? The act of scrambling a message to make it unintelligible is called encryption, and while computers have only been around for a century at most, the idea of encryption dates back thousands of years.
