Macromolecular materials, also called polymer materials, are materials composed of macromolecular compounds as the matrix and with other additives (auxiliary agents). Polymer material classification 1. Classification by source Polymer materials are classified into natural polymer materials and synthetic polymer materials according to their sources. Natural […]
Google is slowly building its reputation in custom hardware development. While a design engineer may not be able to buy a standalone IC from Google, the company has built its own cloud compute and server infrastructure largely in-house with many ASICs in its repertoire. <img […]
When it comes to bioelectronics, university researchers are continually developing technology to improve people's quality of living with various issues like paralysis, deafness, and blindness. One way to combat vision loss, in particular, is artificial retinas—one of the first instances being the Argus II implant in 2007. […]
In 2021, it's standard to expect wireless technologies in cell phones, computers, and audio accessories. However, RF designs are also making their way into industrial sectors as well—for instance, in automation, predictive maintenance, and human-machine interfaces (HMI). These applications often tap into the 2.4 GHz , which is an unrestricted, overutilized, . […]
This week, DARPA gained another partner to its —Secure IC—to develop “.” This announcement marks yet another manifestation of how manufacturers are looking to secure IC design, both at the hardware level and throughout the supply chain. <img src="https://www.ele-instock.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/20210319_6054a7689c319.jpg" style="border:solid 1px #CDCDCD; height:392px; width:451px" alt="Embedded […]
One of the biggest splashes in the electronics industry this year was . The Raspberry Pi Pico is a $4 microcontroller board built using the RP2040 microcontroller, which includes a dual-Arm Cortex-M0+ processor and an interesting patent-pending programmable I/O peripheral. This new RP2040 chip is said to be suited for ultra-low-power […]
In wearables with biological indicators, the low-power/high-performance tradeoff is a nuanced design issue—especially since changes in blood pressure or pulse rate often amount to very small electrical signals. In order to interpret and distinguish between signals, EEs need to significantly amplify these signals, which becomes more difficult when using low supply […]
It’s true that cryptocurrency mining is nothing new. Back in 2018, we reported on —and how spiking valuations kicked off the mining craze. While Bitcoin mining was accessible to individuals early on, large-scale miners are reaping the most rewards. Russia, China, the United States, and even […]
