RF & Microwave Electronics - October 2022
From battlespace communications to deep space missions, RF electronics are at the heart of new advances in a variety of fields. Read about the latest innovations in this compendium of articles from the...Briefs: Manufacturing & Prototyping
Simulations teach a neural network how to adjust printing parameters to minimize error, and then apply that controller to a real 3D printer. The system printed objects more accurately than all the other 3D-printing controllers they compared it to.
Briefs: Materials
Cubic boron arsenide provides high mobility to both electrons and holes, and it has excellent thermal conductivity. It is, according to the researchers, the best semiconductor material ever found.
Briefs: Materials
By incorporating a special type of plastic yarn and using heat to slightly melt it — a process called thermoforming — the researchers were able to greatly improve the precision of pressure sensors woven into multilayered knit textiles, which they call 3DKnITS.
Briefs: Manufacturing & Prototyping
One common limitation of AM has been that produced articles cannot be recycled without substantial energy costs.
Briefs: Materials
Adding a flexible backing to this kind of brain-computer interface allows the device to more evenly conform to the brain’s complex curved surface and to more uniformly distribute the microneedles that pierce the cortex.
Briefs: Mechanical & Fluid Systems
The innovation opens the door for faster and more affordable at-home medical testing.
Briefs: Sensors/Data Acquisition
To benchmark performance of printed sensors against the state of the art, NASA has developed a low-power flexible sensor platform.
Briefs: Lighting Technology
But they’re not yet small enough to compete in computing and other applications where electric circuits continue to reign.
Briefs: Electronics & Computers
The technology allows for higher surface conductivity, improved impedance control, expanded design and application potential, and greater choice of materials for optimized performance.
Articles: Internet of Things
Wireless sensors are critical for the IIoT, but they need long-term, reliable battery power.
Articles: Electronics & Computers
