A chip, hardwired to perform public-key encryption that is said to consume only 1/400 as much power as software execution of the same protocols would, has been built by MIT. The researchers also claim it uses about 1/10 as much memory and executes 500 times faster.Most sensitive web transactions are protected by public-key cryptography and in c...

A solution for extending the battery life of wireless devices is being developed by a team at Stanford University.The idea is to attach a wake-up receiver to an electronic device, which turns on a device in response to incoming ultrasonic signals.According to the team, by working at a smaller wavelength and switching from radio waves to ult...

Farnell element14 has launched the GraspIO Cloudio - a Raspberry Pi add-on board with a Drag and Drop programming interface on iPhone, iPad, Android.Other features include: Voice Assistant Capabilities, IFTTT (“If This Then That”) Integration, IoT Cloud Service, Sensor Monitor and Dashboard, Custom Notifications with Image and Video...

Imec, the research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, has designed and fabricated a 16,384-electrode, 1,024-channel micro-electrode array (MEA) for high-throughput multi-modal cell interfacing.The chip offers intracellular and extracellular recording, voltage- and current-controlled stimulation, impedance monitoring...

Your body may be the new way to portably charge wearable devices.In a collaborative project, the University at Buffalo (UB) and Institute of Semiconductors at Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) are working together to devise a metallic tab, known as the triboelectric nanogenerator.The most common form of triboelectric charging is static elect...

A research team led by the University of Buffalo believes electronic devices could be powered by a small metallic tab that would generate electricity through the bending a finger or by other simple movements. “No one likes being tethered to a power outlet or lugging around a portable charger,” said lead researcher Qiaoqiang Gan...

Toshiba Electronics Europe is shipping two new 100V additions to its low-voltage U-MOS IX-H N-channel power MOSFET series, designed for power supply applications in industrial equipment and motor control applications.The devices are fabricated with Toshiba’s latest low-voltage U-MOS IX-H trench process, which it says optimises the element...
