Mouser has signed a global distribution agreement with Terabee, designers of small, high-performance distance sensors for drone, robotics and IoT applications. Through the agreement, Mouser is now shipping a variety of Terabee’s TeraRanger sensors. The TeraRanger Evo distance sensors measure a single axis and return distance values in millimeters at high speed. The 29 mm ...

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is to be a partner of The University of Manchester’s Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC). GEIC (pronounced ‘geek’, and officially opened yesterday), is the University’s second graphene facility – the other is the National Graphene Institute (NGI) – see below. “Together the two centres cement Manchester’s position as the home of ...

Imec has presented the first power-performance-area comparison between SRAM- and SST-MRAM-based last-level caches at the 5nm node. The analysis, based on design-technology co-optimization and silicon verified models, reveals that STT-MRAM meets the performance requirements for last-level caches in the high-performance computing domain. Moreover, for larger memory densities, significant energy gains are found for SST-MRAM compared to ...

Leeds University researchers has developed a synthetic material that becomes thicker at the molecular level as it is stretched. Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) have completely new properties when they are linked with polymer chains to form rubbery networks. “Our results demonstrate a new use for liquid crystals beyond the flat screen monitors and televisions many ...

White-hot liquid silicon could be the key to storing the vast amounts of energy needed to run a renewables-based national power grid, according to MIT, which claims it “would be vastly more affordable than lithium-ion batteries” and “would cost about half as much as pumped hydroelectric storage, the cheapest form of grid-scale energy storage to ...

Room-temperature fluorine-ion batteries are possible, according to computer simulations by a team of scientist in the US – potentially leading to an anion-based rechargeable battery to trump cation-based technology like Li-ion. “Fluoride-based battery electrodes can store more ions per site than typical lithium-ion electrodes, which means that this technology has the capability to be much more ...

The RISC-V Summit was held in Santa Clara, California, USA this week (3 – 6 December). The industry looked ahead to the potential of the open architecture and was a platform for the providers of core IP and development tools that make up its ecosystem. There were two announcements from IAR Systems in support of ...
