The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the world through its technological advancement of automating daily tasks. It has a software connection to hardware devices that transfers data to automate the actions through a simple command of its users. You can easily spot them on your mobile phones, home appliances, automobiles, and even security tools. Once people taste the convenience of automation, it is hard for them to go back to conventional pra...

To be a semiconductor company used to mean that you fabricated your own chips, but today, most semiconductor companies are fabless whereby they leverage each other by allowing a chip foundry to aggregate everyone’s chip production. They benefit from unified design rules and better utilisation of production capacity. The foundries invest to improve their efficiencies and capacities by driving to new device geometry nodes and better device li...

Technological innovation seems to speed up every year. If you go back far enough, then quality of life didn’t change very much from one century to the next, and before the industrial revolution, neither did technology. Now though, the human race is going at light speed, and it’s hard to predict what will happen over the next decade, let alone the next 100 years; but with a pinch of salt in mind, what might be waiting for us around the...

Since graphene appeared on the scene, it has been touted as having the ability to revolutionise electronics - but why is that? For anyone not in the know, graphene is a one atom thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, by being only one atom thick, the material occupies a very small space.

There are many barriers and challenges when it comes to gender equality issues in business and technology, and we have highlighted many throughout this column. Electronic Specifier’s Anna Flockett delves deeper into the Reykjavik Index.
