The Microbots has recently introduced CodeCell, a tiny, Arduino-compatible module featuring the ESP32-C3 processor with Wi-Fi and BLE connectivity, designed for DIY projects and beginner-friendly sensing applications. It integrates a VCNL4040 light sensor for ambient light and proximity...

The Quectel has recently launched BG770A-SN, an ultra-compact, 5G-ready satellite communication module designed for global IoT applications. Measuring just 14.9mm x 12.9mm x 1.9mm, it supports LTE Cat M1, NB1, NB2, and NTN over NB-IoT, complying with 3GPP releases 13, 14, and 17....

By transforming MXene-enhanced textiles into supercapacitors, a team of researchers from Drexel University and Accenture Labs have developed a flexible "patch" that could help power future wearables. Dr.Yury Gogotsi, a professor in the College of Engineering at Drexel University,...

Actuators are the moving part of a device that controls the mechanism of a system. A simple example of an actuator is the opening of a valve. With this simple example of a solenoidal valve, we can understand that an actuator (or, in other words, a part that performs a movement in a...

With the increase in demand for wearable electronic devices, the need for flexible, thin, and compact electronic circuits also arises. Wearable devices and many other sophisticated systems need sensors that can be attached to various kinds of surfaces or substrates. Therefore, it is...

Conductive materials change their properties under strain or stretching. The electrical conductivity decreases and resistance increases with stretching. The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is working with liquid metal systems that can autonomously change the structure to become...

If you’re looking to reduce quiescent current and extend the lifetime of your system’s battery, then the TPS62840 is the device for you. At an astonishing 60nA of operating IQ, TPS62840 is the world’s lowest quiescent current DC/DC switching regulator. From IoT to smart meters,...
