ST’s STHVDAC-253C7 digital controller for tunable capacitors claims to shrink the size, BoM, and power consumption of antenna-tuning circuits for stabilizing smartphone RF performance. Using the STHVDAC-253C7 with ST’s STPTIC capacitors for impedance matching and frequency tuning is claimed to almost eliminate the effects of environmental variations, resulting in stronger signal reception, fewer dropped calls, ...

Yesterday CERN put forward a proposal for a bigger, more expensive version of the Large Hadron Collider. The ‘Future Circular Collider’ (FCC), as CERN calls it, would be an electron-positron machine in a 100km circular tunnel compared to the LHC’s 27km tunnel. It would cost about $10 billion and start operating in 2040. In a second ...
