It has been announced by Synopsys that PLASMOfab, a research project funded by the EU innovation program Horizon 2020, has been successfully completed to enable mass manufacturing of high-performance plasmo-photonic components.

Real-time health and performance monitoring and sensors that can detect both current and emerging environmental threats using a protein catalyzed capture, or PCC, agent technology should make it easier to monitor both personal and…

Sensor-based technologies can go a long way towards helping women age independently. A small University of Colorado study of 10 women (average age 65) characterized perceptions of wearable and smart home technologies for older women,…

Traps in organic semiconductors cause charge carriers to get stuck, which has made them poor at conducting current compared with silicon or other inorganic material semiconductors. N-type materials with charge carriers in the form of…

Polymer insulators can be lightweight, flexible, and corrosion-resistant alternatives to traditional metal heat conductors. Applications ranging from heat-dissipating materials in laptops and cellphones, to cooling elements in cars and…

If you’ve been following the trend towards an Internet of Things (IoT)-based future where billions of connected devices will positively impact every level of society from individual consumers and companies to entire industries and smart…

The introduction of Bluetooth 5 added some key capabilities to Bluetooth wireless technology, notably increased throughput, range, and advertising extensions. Nordic Semiconductor’s nRF52840 SoC was one of the few devices on the market to…

The '2019 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis (OSSRA) report’ has been released by Synopsys. The report, produced by the Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC), examines the results of more than 1,200 audits of commercial…
