One of the biggest challenges for wireless sensor networks is that of power. Solar panels usually produce less power than you hoped, especially small ones, and designing super low power circuits is ...

The 10BASE-T1 Ethernet standard is also known as ‘single pair Ethernet’ (SPE), as it’s most defining feature is the ability to work over a single pair of conductors. Being fairly new, it offers a lot ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have announced the development of a nonvolatile microcontroller unit (MCU) which achieves both high performance and ultra-low power by utilizing spintronics-based VLSI ...

In recent years, sensor networks intended for monitoring and controlling facilities or equipment, or observing environments or spaces, have been drawing a lot of attention. A sensor network will have ...

Lithium thionyl chloride (Li-SOCl 2) batteries are the current gold standard for long-term remote deployments. Li-SOCl 2 ...

Integrating the energy source into a micro-chip is arguably the first challenge to confront. The device must pack sufficient energy into a small volume of space to yield operational lives on the order ...

Unlike human beings, automated vehicles (AV) can indeed have eyes in the back of their heads and also the sides. They have a simultaneous 360 degree view of the world, but it’s not a perfect view. AVs ...

The advancements in the EV industry, such as WBG devices and 800 V systems, introduce specific technical challenges for ...
