Integrating sensors into rotational mechanisms could enable engineers to build smart hinges that know when a door opens or gears inside a motor that lets a mechanic know their rotation speed. MIT engineers developed a way to integrate…

NASA has always been instrumental in creating new technology to advance its exploration goals. To support its effort, the agency announced that it will create two new institutes to develop technology in critical engineering and climate…

Researchers have now demonstrated how energy disappears in quantum turbulence, and that is critical when understanding turbulence in microscopic to planetary scales. Researchers at Lancaster University conducted a new study of quantum wave…

Hyundai Mobis is putting an electric motor inside a vehicle’s wheels, enhancing power efficiency by reducing components and providing independent control of all four wheels. The company calls the in-wheel system the future of mobility…

IoT technology connects thousands of sensors, enables real-time data collection and analysis, and makes buildings smarter and more efficient. Still, power is a challenge. The batteries of any smart device are costly, and the constant…

Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) teamed up with SHARGE Technology to design a 67 W USB PD charger with a power display screen. The fast charger uses EPC’s 100 V GaN FET, EPC2218, delivering 231 A pulsed current in a 3.5 mm x 1.95 mm…

At APEC 2023, Amber Semi will demonstrate a new standard in power management and sensing in prototype applications, including solid-state programmable circuit breakers, lighting, motor control, smart outlets, etc., powered by its…

Robots as mental well-being coaches in the workplace may be useful– but it depends on what the robot looks like. University of Cambridge researchers used two robot well-being coaches for their study; 26 employees participated in weekly…

In a study published in Nature Physics, Rice University physicists and collaborators presented an array of experimental evidence showing their charge density wave discovery was rarer than first thought--a case where the magnetic and…

This is fascinating. Now, a new approach sidesteps the long-standing problem of scaling up quantum prototypes. 'Counterportation’ provides the first-ever practical blueprint for creating a wormhole in the lab that verifiably bridges space.…

Kia America just unveiled a Kia Veterans Technician Apprenticeship Program to provide military veterans with the opportunity to become a trained Kia technician, complete with support throughout the training process. Kia will work with…

Structural defects that form during an additive manufacturing building process have prevented its wide adoption. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory developed a new method to detect and predict…

So far, deep learning semi-supervised learning algorithms are impractical in real semi-supervised learning scenarios, including medical image processing, hyper-spectral image classification, network traffic recognition, and document…

Hailo announced the Hailo-15 family of high-performance vision processors, designed for integration directly into intelligent cameras for video processing and analytics at the edge. Hailo claims it sets a new standard in computer vision and…

Texas Instruments recently unveiled purpose-built semiconductors with ultrasonic lens cleaning (ULC) technology so that camera systems can quickly detect and remove dirt, ice, and water using microscopic vibrations—the first ultrasonic lens…
