According to the partners, the collaboration will span multiple future generations of hardware, software and systems.QDT has also submitted the Centriq 2400 Open Compute Motherboard server to the O...

Nanoelectronics research centre imec, along with the Holst Centre, has developed a novel phase-tracking receiver which is said to bring further power and cost reduction for next generation Bluetooth and IEEE802.15.4 chips.According to the partners, the digital-style receiver is three times smaller than current devices and supports supplies as l...

Lithium-sulphur batteries show promise for high energy storage applications according to researchers from the University of Delaware.The energy density of Li-S batteries is said to be five times higher than that of Li-ion batteries, which combined with low cost, put it at a significant advantage.Li-S batteries are limited by rapid capacity...

Bubbles that form on a heated surface have been shown to create a tiny recoil which could be used to cool high power microelectronics in space and other applications, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), under funding from NASA."In flights to Mars or the moon, equipment like computers generate a lot of h...

Five years since the Raspberry Pi burst on to the scene, the Raspberry Pi Foundation has launched Raspberry Pi Zero W. The wireless LAN enabled version of the Raspberry Pi Zero will cost just $10.While Raspberry Pi Zero has found many applications, the lack of wireless connectivity meant the use of dongles or a USB hub. Zero W is said to overco...

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) has taken delivery of two HALO Rapid Prototype Development Systems from RFEL. The systems will be used to evaluate video processing algorithms from RFEL and third parties and to support interactive demonstrations to military users.The two systems delivered to DSTL support different video proc...
