Paper that talks back
Today there are large boards and shop displays that talk directly to customers, using digital information embedded in the paper
[ + ]Wear your electronics
An electronic revolution could be on the way with the development of a thin film of plastic that conducts electricity and produces solar power, changing the way we light our homes and design clothes
[ + ]Researchers work towards enhancing the smallest electronic components
Researchers have made an important advance in the emerging field of spintronics that may one day usher in a new generation of smaller, smarter, faster computers, sensors and other devices
[ + ]Green car one step closer
A new variation of a familiar platinum-nickel alloy has been identified and claimed to be the most active oxygen-reducing catalyst ever reported
[ + ]Plastic: the way of the electronic future
Plastic electronics have been in the public eye since three scientists won the 2000 Nobel Prize for their contribution to the discovery and development of conductive polymer plastics
[ + ]Who should lay out my printed circuit boards?
As ever shortening product lifetimes impose tighter and tighter time-to-market pressures, the variety of CAD/EDA software looks more and more bewildering and the make-or-buy question for PCB design remains as hotly argued as ever
[ + ]Tracking the story of the PCB - part 2
By the first years of the twentieth century, electronic communication technologies such as the telegraph, telephone and radio were transforming advanced societies, creating new industries and, in the process, fuelling demands for efficient, reliable circuitry that could also be mass produced as economically as possible.
[ + ]Look out silicon here comes graphene
Graphene, a form of bonded carbon, may become the next buzz word in electronics over the next 10 to 20 years if the current rate of miniaturisation continues
[ + ]Tracking the story of the PCB - part 1
Just who invented the printed circuit? And how? Considering the crucial importance of printed circuitry to modern electronics, the story is surprisingly obscure
[ + ]Safety hints to consider when selecting a digital multimeter
When choosing a digital multimeter, not only is it important to look at basic specifications, features, functions and overall value of the meter but it also needs to meet the latest and most demanding safety standards
[ + ]The green data centre
The green revolution has finally hit the IT community. And whether such solutions are being implemented due to legislation, commercial reasons or a genuine concern for the environment, change is afoot
[ + ]Forum sets new direction for photonics in Australia
Strong support is emerging for a nationally focused push to grow the Australian photonics/optoelectronics industry internationally, according to AEEMA's chief executive, Angus M Robinson

The University College London (UCL) has unearthed a major discovery in the manufacture of microchips.
[ + ]DNA chip used in prognosis
A project led by IDIBAPS-Hospital Clinic aims to validate the IBDchip (Inflammatory Bowel Disease DNA Chip), a DNA chip that claims to be the world''s first diagnostic DNA chip.
[ + ]Hybrid electric vehicle made possible
The electric car has been a dream in the pipelines since the early 19th century but has always seemed out of reach because of battery life, cost and weight. Now a hybrid electric vehicle has been made possible with the development of a long-life battery
