March 28, 2024 — Renesas Electronics Corporation recently announced the industry’s first general-purpose 32-bit RISC-V-based microcontrollers (MCUs) built with an internally developed CPU core. While many MCU providers have recently joined investment alliances to advance the development of RISC-V products, Renesas has already designed and tested a new RISC-V core independently, which is now implemented in […]
The driver development finalisation and upstreaming were done under partnership with Ideas on Board, one of the Linux consulting service companies for camera and display systems. Until now, there has been no production-ready driver for standalone ISPs in the mainline Linux kernel. It has always been a heavy burden for system design engineers to develop […]
Experimental setup. 3D reconstruction of fish trajectories with 3 synchronized cameras. The locations of the fish were determined in each 2D image to calculate the 3D coordinates. The 3D coordinates are subsequently linked into 3D trajectories. Credit: Nature Communications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-46426-1 Physicists are also interested in fish—above all when they are researching the formation […]
A magnetic octupole and the three decreasing intensity peaks are predicted to be present in inelastic neutron scattering for π-flux QSI. Credit: Desrochers & Kim Quantum spin liquids are fascinating quantum systems that have recently attracted significant research attention. These systems are characterized by a strong competition between interactions, which prevents the establishment of a […]
Evolution with temperature of polarons in tantalum layers of 1T-TaS2 through different CDW phases: commensurate (C), nearly commensurate (NC), and incommensurate (IC). When CDW is removed at high temperature, polarons are in a gas-like state. Credit: Nature Communications (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-42631-6 Research often unfolds as a multistage process. The solution to one question can spark […]
VR headsets are forecast to reach 24.7 million units by the end of 2028, representing a five-year CAGR of 29.2% AR headsets will grow from a smaller base of less than a million units in 2024 to 10.9 million in 2028, representing an 87.1% CAGR over the same period. “Companies will increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence […]
With the support of connectivity companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung Electronics, and more, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) announced the Matter standard in October 2022. The standard’s intent is to provide secure and easy to configure interconnected products for consumers. That type of interconnectivity is essential to smart homes. When Matter 1.2 was […]
March 25, 2024 — Diodes Incorporated recently introduced three new Hall effect switches, the AH1899A/B/S, which operate with low supply voltages and very low quiescent current to extend battery life in mobile and portable devices.The AH1899A/B/S are used to detect the open/closed status of covers and cases for portable electronic devices, such as smartphones and […]
The US, Europe and Japan markets fell but shipments grew 1.7% in Asia/Pacific and in China largely due to strong interest in emerging markets. Hearables declined 0.8% year over year for the full year while capturing 61.3% of the overall wearables market. Smartwatch shipments increased 8.7% during the year as India and China led the […]
