TI’s 32-bit 'Successor' to the 16-bit MCU
2015-03-25
This week, Texas Instruments (TI) rolled out its MSP432, a 32-bit alternative to the 16-bit MSP430 family of microcontrollers. It is also a new ARM-based MCU family designed to provide both MSP430 and ARM M0 developers migration paths to a more powerful and feature laden - but low power - architecture.
Three Technologies for Harvesting Ambient Energy
2015-03-24
We are entering an era when scavenging tiny amounts of power from the environment can power small devices to do extraordinary tasks. The needs of the Internet of Things and the advent of lower-cost components are moving energy-harvesting systems from niche applications to broad-scale practicality.
UK design firm targets 14nm chips in China
2015-03-24
UK-based chip design firm Sondrel is expanding its global business with investments in China targeted at sub-28nm IC designs.
XMOS ships first xCore200
2015-03-24
XMOS has announced the launch of the XCORE-200, a Gigabit Ethernet enabled family of multicore MCUs. The devices integrate 16 32bit RISC cores and are said to be the first 10/100/1000 Ethernet solutions which offer a programmable MAC layer and webserver support.
Polystyrene packaging waste used to create carbon electrodes for Li-ion batteries
2015-03-24
The polystyrene used in packaging has proved a headache when it comes to disposal. There are few recycling options, which means the material usually ends up in landfill.
Electronic waste has energy value
2015-03-21
Using discarded electronic boards, the UPV/EHU researcher Andoni Salbidegoitia has, in collaboration with international researchers, developed a system for obtaining clean hydrogen that can be used as fuel. The researchers have already registered the patent of the process in Japan.
Full duplex radio ICs transmit and receive at the same frequency
2015-03-21
Engineering researchers from Columbia University in the US have devised a way to implement full duplex radio ICs in nanoscale CMOS. The devices are said to support simultaneous transmission and reception at the same frequency; something previously thought to be impossible.
IBM, ARM unveil Internet of Things starter kit
2015-03-08
IBM and ARM have announced a joint project for creating embedded products and integrating them with the Internet of Things. This isn’t the first time that the two companies have worked together — they teamed up last year as well, with ARM’s mbed platform — but this new system is more powerful, flexible, and integrates with IBM’s BlueMix cloud platform.
Alibaba's Jack Ma seeks to reassure employees over U.S. lawsuits
2015-02-14
(Reuters) - Alibaba Group Holding Ltd Executive Chairman Jack Ma urged employees to relax about U.S. lawsuits against the firm over possible failure to disclose information to investors, in a letter to staff posted on his official microblog on Friday.
Tiny medical implant makes you cry to defeat dry eye
2015-02-09
Making people cry is not a very nice thing to do, unless those people suffer from chronic eyeball dryness. Then you’re doing them a favor. Scientists at Stanford-backed Oculeve have created a tiny implantable device that can do just that — stimulate tear production at the push of a button.
Robotic glove teaches your hand the basics of drawing
2015-02-09
Whether it was after getting hooked on your first comic, taking a college art class, or even idly doodling on your math book instead of paying attention to your teacher, we’ve all experimented with drawing.
This Concept Has a Use For Old Modular Phone Parts: A Supercomputer
2015-01-26
Modular phones are certainly a popular idea right now, even if they're currently failing to deliver on their promise. But there's already a suggestion about what could happen to their parts when they're no longer wanted: they could simply slide together to form a supercomputer.
AMD FX-8320E CPU Review: The Other 95W Vishera
2015-01-19
Back in September we reviewed the FX-8370E, a new AMD CPU based on the older Vishera/Piledriver architecture but at a lower power – 95W rather than 125W. This was achieved by a combination of a mature 32nm process, adjusting clock speeds and (potentially) some specifically binned voltage characteristics...
Autonomous Cars Are Closer Than You Think
2015-01-19
For years, self-driving cars looked like they were always at least ten years away from coming to market. If the notoriously conservative car industry thinks we are only five years away from somebody selling an autonomous car, then we’re probably even closer than they expect...
Windows Phone 10 Render Makes Everything Transparent and More Fluid
2015-01-19
Deviantart user NuryRush has created a Windows Phone 10 concept, but didn’t reveal too much about it. We know it includes a transparent set of tiles, a very big tile size for Cortana and a few other nifty elements...
Intel Announces Curie: Tiny Module for Wearables
2015-01-19
Yesterday, Intel announced a new module targeted to wearable technology: Intel Curie. This module continues Intel's push into IoT and wearable technology started with the Intel Edison. While we thought Edison was small, at just above the size of a US postage stamp, Curie goes even further...
ON Semiconductor – Low-light imaging re-defined by new class of CCD image sensors (KAE-02150)
2014-12-18
With the introduction of a new class of CCD image sensor technology, ON Semiconductor has set a new benchmark in low-light imaging for industrial markets.
4G LTE is a strong WAN access contender (and not just because of the bandwidth!)
2014-12-11
When cellular services reached broadband speeds, they started inching into the enterprise WAN access network. The availability of widespread 3G services and 3G line cards for routers saw some enterprise sites plugging into 3G as a landline backup...
