Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top 5 tech innovations based on animals.

element14, an Avnet Community, recently launched the Experimenting with Gesture Sensors Design Challenge.

Number One Systems has announced the release of Easy-PC version version 26, which incorporates an IPC-2581 export capability, along with over 25 other technology features based on user requests from professional PCB designers.

The global electronic design market was estimated at $12.5bn in 2021 and is anticipated to grow by 8% year over year to reach $13.5bn in 2022.

Adhesives are often treated as the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle. But by the end of the design stage, it may be difficult to find an adhesive that meets all the criteria, meaning the design must be amended, or even started again. Here Simon Gibbs, Technical Sales Executive at adhesives specialist Intertronics, explains the benefits of considering adhesives early in a project.

Whether you love them or hate them, spiders play an important role in our ecosystem by keeping the insect population down. Without spiders, it is believed that our crops, and therefore our food supply, could be put at risk from insects eating through them.

Cadence Design Systems has announced that Samsung Foundry has deployed the Cadence Spectre FX Simulator for FastSPICE-based verification of their large-scale analogue and mixed-signal IP on 3nm, 4nm and 5nm processes.

Elma Electronic has offered the E18 family of price competitive, robust mechanical incremental encoders. This range of encoders offer a high-quality alternative to system designers struggling to find a drop-in, rugged encoder for harsh environments with a footprint that matches their current PCB design.

In the lead-up to the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Qatar has built nine new stadiums and renovated three, with the 12 venues divided among seven host cities.

The power of the semiconductor market is going through a renaissance with the advent of higher efficiency, smaller size, and higher performance wideband-gap switches. The UK already leads the way in research of this space and now must step forward and manufacture these devices to remain relevant in the future net zero arena.
