To resolve the problem of counterfeit wireless chargers - which could cause power surges that fry a device’s circuitry – researchers from MIT’s Microsystems Technology Laboratories have built a chip that blocks attempts to wirelessly charge a device’s battery unless the charger first provides cryptographic authentication....

A low-cost chip developed at the University of Bristol is said to extend battery life in sensors; in some cases, by more than 10 times. The patent pending UB20M voltage detector is a ‘keep-alive’ device which, when combined with a suitable sensor, is said to eliminate standby power by enabling zero-power sensing and listening.The de...

Imec, Holst Centre and Rohm have described an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) for IoT radio transceivers at ISSCC 2017 in San Francisco.According to the partners, a PLL is not only one of the major power consumers in a radio, but can also take up to 30% of the radio area. In contrast, the ADPLL occupies just 0.18mm2 in a 40nm CMOS process...

Self-reinforcing solitary wave packets called solitons could achieve a more stable transmission of information, according to scientists at the Centre for Artificial Low Dimensional Electronic Systems (CALDES), within Korea's Institute for Basic Science (IBS). Their experiments and models are said to pave the way to a new field of electronics: s...

One of the key ideas behind the IoT is the use of sensor networks to gather data. But when there may be thousands of sensors in a network, each sensor needs to be as low cost as possible.However, low cost sensors often have limited energy and computing capacities, so making the most of these limited resources is important and Austrian researche...

A new principle, in which electromagnetic waves, including light, can propagate on the edge of a 2D photonic crystal without being scattered, has been developed by researchers from Japan’s International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) and the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS).It was known that scattering of li...
