New Ultrathin Semiconductors Can Make More Efficient and Ten Times Smaller Transistors Than Silicon


https://www.electronics-lab.com/new-ultrathin-semiconductors-can-make-efficient-ten-times-smaller-transistors-silicon/

The researchers at Stanford University have discovered two ultrathin semiconductors – hafnium diselenide and zirconium diselenide. They share or even exceed some of the very important characteristics of silicon. Silicon has a great property of forming “rust” or silicon dioxide (SiO2) by reacting with oxygen. As the SiO2 acts as an insulator, chip manufacturers implement this property […]

Researchers Developed VO2 Based MEMS Mirror Actuator That Requires Very Low Power


https://www.electronics-lab.com/researchers-developed-vo2-based-mems-mirror-actuator-requires-low-power/

A joint research by the US Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate and Michigan State University have developed micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) actuator based on smart materials, specifically vanadium dioxide (VO2). In the room temperature, Vanadium dioxide exhibits the Mott transition. It is a not-well-understood phenomenon known to occur in transition metal chalcogenides and transition metal oxides. The research team […]

SPI Isolation Board


https://www.electronics-lab.com/spi-isolation-board/

The isolated SPI module is designed for applications, where SPI signals need to be transferred over longer distances than usually. It is based on Linear’s LTC6820. The board is designed as two layer stack-up, with GND plane on the bottom layer and signal traces and components at the top layer. Signals and power are supplied […]

Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries – Safer And Cheaper Than Li-ion Batteries


https://www.electronics-lab.com/rechargeable-magnesium-batteries-safer-cheaper-li-ion-batteries/

Researchers at the University of Houston reported in the journal Nature Communications the discovery of a new design that significantly improves the development of a battery based on magnesium. Magnesium batteries are considered as safe resources of power supply – unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries. They are not flammable or subject to exploding – but their ability to store energy is […]

More IoT with Compute Module 3 and Ubuntu Core OS


https://www.electronics-lab.com/iot-compute-module-3-ubuntu-core-os/

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, announced recently that its IoT OS, Ubuntu Core, is available on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 – the general-purpose compute product from the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This OS, the smallest Ubuntu ever, is the perfect host operating system for IoT devices and large-scale cloud container deployments. Actually, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 (CM3), […]
