Nanoprobes could be a leap forward for high resolution HMIs 23rd July 2019
Machine enhanced humans - or cyborgs as they are known in science fiction - could be one step closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research from the University of Surrey and Harvard University. Researchers have conquered the monumental task of manufacturing scalable nanoprobe arrays small enough to record the inner workings of human cardiac cells and primary neurons.

Green-mode controller generates isolated outputThe PMP5067 reference design from Texas Instruments uses the UCC28600 green-mode controller to generate an isolated 12V/3.4A output from a very wide 100Vdc to 650Vdc input range. The quasi-resonant switching of the UCC28600 allows this design to achieve a maximum load efficiency up to 88%, while the no load losses are less than 550mW.
