RFID simplifies stock counts because of its ability to provide tag processing of up to 50 pieces per second. [ + ]

Till now it has been impossible to distinctly classify all insulators due to a lack of suitable experimental approaches. [ + ]

ARM processors are at the heart of nearly all current smartphones and tablet computers in the consumer market. Software service to reduce design-in effort eases the entry of OEMs into this market. [ + ]

The combination of electrical and mechanical properties of Aerographite offers huge potential for future development of electronics. [ + ]

Controlling the spin of elecrons provides data storage and higher efficiency light generation. [ + ]

When embedded designers take advantage of the often-overlooked processing power of a wireless module, they can typically eliminate the system microcontroller and thus create an advanced, cellular-enabled system that is smaller, more efficient and much cheaper to produce. This article gives guidelines for choosing a module that will act as both microcontroller and modem.

Researchers have developed a nanolithography technique that is claimed to be less expensive than other approaches and can be used to create technologies with biomedical applications. [ + ]

M2M technology has reached into many aspects of our lives and is continuing to expand into areas that a few years ago would have been thought regions of science fiction. [ + ]

Plastic electronics hold the promise of cheap, mass-produced devices. But plastic semiconductors have an important flaw: the electronic current is influenced by ‘charge traps’ in the material. These traps, which have a negative impact on plastic light-emitting diodes and solar cells, are poorly understood. [ + ]

Copper-nickel nanowires, in the form of a film, conduct electricity even under conditions that break down the transfer of electrons in plain silver and copper nanowires, a new study has shown. [ + ]

Along with understanding the correct regulations, selecting the appropriate cable for an application is equally important. This article explains how to choose the right category, class and type for your cable application. [ + ]

The connector industry has benefited greatly from the rise of personal computer volumes. In recent years, those rewards came from double-digit growth in notebook PCs, including Apple’s version, the MacBook series. [ + ]

A method of generating terahertz signals on an inexpensive silicon chip has been developed by Cornell researchers. [ + ]

A laser for on-chip optical connections that could give computers a huge boost in speed and energy efficiency has been created by electrical engineers. [ + ]

The damage that radiation causes to electronic materials may be at least 10 times greater than previously thought, according to scientist Andrew Steigerwald. [ + ]
