ARM has acquired the product portfolio and other business assets of Carbon Design Systems (Carbon), a supplier of cycle-accurate virtual prototyping solutions. ARM claims that this combination of assets and expertise will enhance its capability in SoC architectural exploration, system analysis and software bring-up."Early stage virtual pro...

The CBI says that raising total research and development spending to 3% of GDP will help achieve this, buttressed by a dedicated and long-term industrial strategy. Both are growth-enhancing measures that contribute to increased productivity.The CBI is calling on ministers to double the budget for Innovate UK after new research by the employers&...

Researchers at the University of Cambridge and Cambridge-based company Novalia have developed a low-cost, high-speed method for printing graphene inks using a conventional roll-to-roll printing process. This method could open up a range of practical applications, including inexpensive printed electronics, intelligent packaging and disposable sensor...

Intel, in conjunction with the founders of Arduino, has announced the release of Genuino 101, a learning and development board for entry-level makers and education environments. Genuino 101 is claimed to be the first widely available development board based on Intel’s CurieTM module.Josh Walden, senior vice president and general manager o...

Pressure Profile Systems (PPS) has announced a major investment in a five-year research partnership with the University of Strathclyde, worth around £300,000.During the first 12-month phase of the partnership, three co-funded PhD/EngD students will be recruited to work on sensor-based projects, jointly with PPS and Strathclyde research. T...

Researchers funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation have created an electronic component that could replace flash storage. This memristor could also be used one day in new types of computers.The principle of the memristor was first described in 1971, as the fourth basic component of electronic circuits (alongside resistors, capacitors a...

Loughborough University has been awarded £3.9million to develop a new way of designing and fabricating high frequency communications circuitry. The funding from the EPSRC will be used to establish the SYMETA – SYnthesizing 3D METAmaterials for RF, microwave and THz applications – research programme.Current conventional printed...

Seven research programmes that aim to tackle some of the UK’s major science and engineering challenges were given the green light today by the Universities and Science Minister, Jo Johnson.Academics, industrialists and policy makers will address issues such as: how new ways of using robotics and autonomous systems can restore the balance...

Yokogawa’s European Calibration Laboratory, based at the company’s European Headquarters in Amersfoort, Netherlands, has become the world’s first non-governmental facility to receive full ISO17025 Accreditation for power measurements at up to 100kHz. This is in addition to its capability for providing high-accuracy calibration at...

Researchers from the University of Missouri are on the path to creating biodegradable electronics by using organic components in screen displays. The researchers' advancements could one day help reduce electronic waste in landfills.On average, consumers replace their mobile phones every 22 months, throwing away more than 150 million phones...
