ONIO.ZERO MICROCONTROLLER RUNS WITHOUT A BATTERY

ONIO.ZERO MICROCONTROLLER RUNS WITHOUT A BATTERY

It’s becoming quite obvious that traditional batteries are limiting the progress of IoT devices. They are expensive, they contain harmful chemicals and most importantly All-Batteries-Will-Die. Vemund Kval Bakken chief technology officer and co-founder at ONiO say the real problem with the battery approach to IoT comes when you actually consider the battery shelf life as well as the environmental

MEET THE NEXT GEN LITHIUM SULFUR BATTERIES

MEET THE NEXT-GEN LITHIUM-SULFUR BATTERIES

What would you give for a battery, 5x the storage capacity of whatever you’re reading from? Well, the countdown to commercial availability for batteries of this type of capacity has already begun and it would be considerably cheaper than then currently available batteries. This radical improvement comes from using sulfur cathodes rather than graphite in lithium-ion batteries. Sulfur

RESEARCHERS EXPAND MICROCHIP CAPABILITY WITH NEW 3D INDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY

RESEARCHERS EXPAND MICROCHIP CAPABILITY WITH NEW 3D INDUCTOR TECHNOLOGY

Smaller is better when it comes to microchips, researchers said, and by using 3D components on a standardized 2D microchip manufacturing platform, developers can use up to 100 times less chip space. A team of engineers has boosted the performance of its previously developed 3D inductor technology by adding as much as three orders of
