What are the different types of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs)? If you've ever wondered what those green, brown, or black boards inside your electronic devices are, you're not alone. These boards are called printed circuit boards (PCBs),…

Cardiac monitoring and implantable cardiovascular electronic devices can increase the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the devices have limitations. New smartphone tools aim to record an electrocardiogram (ECG) strip and make an…

Graphene is an incredibly strong electrical and thermal conductor, making it a perfect ingredient to enhance semiconductor chips found in many electrical devices. There are, however, still roadblocks. Manufacturers have been unable to…

Gartner identified seven technology disruptions that will transform sales over the next five years, including generative artificial intelligence (AI), digital twin of the customer, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), machine…

It seemed like a good idea—you're driving, get into an accident, and your iPhone 14 and Apple Watch come to the rescue—helping the driver get emergency services. However, it seems that the technology is overachieving a bit. Not only does…

Robotics and wearable devices might soon be smarter with the addition of a stretchy, wearable synaptic transistor developed by Penn State engineers. Working like neurons in the brain to send signals to some cells and inhibit others to…

Researchers at the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering developed a flexible, stretchable computer to process information that mimics the human brain. The bridged wearable technology with artificial intelligence…

Current ultrasound technology is bulky and requires a trained technician to use. It uses sound waves transmitted through a liquid gel to map the internal landscape of your body. MIT engineers are aiming to change that. Their paper,…

Can machine learning keep first responders safe when they’re most at risk? Cloud-based systems that monitor vital signs can keep first responders and industrial workers from getting injured or even dying on the job. But what happens when…

We're relying on smartwatches for all kinds of information, including how our heart rate and rhythm behave during exercise and rest. However, according to a recent study, smartwatch measurements may be less accurate in people with darker…
