Like most conferences last year, the 3rd IBM IEEE CAS/EDS AI Compute Symposium was also the symposium’s inaugural virtual event. The event explored the next-gen AI ‘from atoms to apps.’ Held over two days in October and supported by the IBM Academy of Technology, the symposium drew more than 650 participants from roughly 45 countries.

New hydrogen power technology could mark a commercial breakthrough for drones, paving the way for mobile robot development with extended range and load capacity. Doosan Mobility Innovation (DMI) has announced it has successfully used hydrogen-powered drones to deliver humanitarian aid in remote locations. With two hours of flight time (longer than most battery-powered drones), the […]
From turning the steering wheel to pressing down the accelerator pedal, the driving experience is very tactile. Haptic technologies simulate the sense of touch by triggering forces, vibrations or motions to the drivers, and are increasingly used by the automotive industry as a way to confer a safer, more informed and more intuitive user experience. […]
The design of radio communication networks often focuses on considering factors such as bandwidth, operating frequency, and latency. This article focuses on the design considerations required to achieve low latency performance — a guide on the considerations required to minimize the time between when a signal is first received by a device to the time […]
As silicon reaches its theoretical performance limits for power electronics, the industry is shifting toward wide-bandgap materials (WBG), including gallium nitride. Why WBG, and why GaN specifically? AspenCore Media’s new book, the “AspenCore Guide to Gallium Nitride: A New Era for Power Electronics,” answers those questions and more. WBG power semiconductor devices in silicon carbide and […]
“The slave-labor of the United States has hitherto conferred and is still conferring inappreciable blessings on mankind. If these blessings continue, slave-labor must also continue, for it is idle to talk of producing Cotton for the world’s supply with free labor.” — American Cotton Planter, 1853 MADISON, Wis. — While reading Sven Beckert’s extraordinary history […]
More than a year has passed since the Covid-19 pandemic began infecting the world. It has brought more than 2 million deaths and perpetual economic damage. With significant global impact on the semiconductor industry’s end markets, how long will it take the semiconductor economy and the markets in which it plays to recover? The Covid-19 […]
