The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Sikorsky a $6 million contract to integrate an autonomous flight system onto the UH-60M Black Hawk to experiment with AI-enabled operations. Sikorsky will add its MATRIX autonomy…

Are you using radar chips for your small designs? Here's one for the books—and maybe some ideas for your designs, too. A research team at the University of Oxford wanted to help insect and bird populations that are at risk. They came up…

Once again, science takes cues from nature to improve our tech. I love these stories. Nankeen Kestrels, a small, slim falcon native to Australia, New Guinea, and the nearby islands, are giving researchers insight into how to make drone…

Welcome back to eeDesignIt where we're feeling patriotic this week. There's a lot of technology (and chemistry) that goes into a fireworks display, but could this centuries-old tradition be fading away to be replaced with even better…

June 24, 2024 InvenSense Sensor Partners enable efficient prototyping and development for applications such as wearables, hearables, healthcare devices, drones, other IoT and robotics Partners offer reference designs, evaluation…

We thought our wireless networks were secure, but they may not be. Research out of Rice University uncovered an eavesdropping security vulnerability in high-frequency and high-speed wireless backhaul links. Unfortunately, these links are…

According to Innovation, Science, and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, the Canadian government has ordered Bluevec Technologies and Pegauni Technology to shut down operations following a national security review. Although…

AI and smart algorithms could allow drones to pilot themselves using visual landmarks to navigate. That's the aim of researchers at the University of Missouri, who received a $3.3 million grant from the US Army Engineer Research and…

The EPC9193 GaN-based inverter reference design enhances motor system performance, range, precision, torque, all while lowering overall system cost.

EPC is launching a 100 V, 1 mOhm EPC2361, the lowest on-resistance GaN FET on the market. The FET doubles the power density of its previous products. The EPC2361 has a typical RDS(on) of just 1 mOhm in a thermally enhanced QFN package…
