Espressif Leaks RISC-V Powered ESP8266 Pin-Compatible ESP32-C3


https://www.electronics-lab.com/espressif-leaks-risc-v-powered-esp8266-pin-compatible-esp32-c3/

The ESP32-C3 is a WiFi SoC that contains a RISC-V core in place of the Tensilica core in the ESP32 we are all familiar with. It uses the ESP8266 pin-out. As with other ESP32 family members, this one delivers b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth LE 5, where it differs is the RISC-V 32 Single-core processor with […]

Stretchable Conductors Maintain Conductivity Under 700% Strain


https://www.electronics-lab.com/stretchable-conductors-maintain-conductivity-under-700-strain/

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 better conductors in response to strain. Polymerized Liquid Metal Networks, the material developed by AFRL scientists, […]
