Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions Launches Industry’s Highest Density NAND Flash Memory Module for Space Applications

Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions today announced the industry’s highest density NAND flash memory device for a range of demanding space applications.

A Flexible Color-Changing Film Inspired by Chameleon Skin

Chameleons can famously change their colors to camouflage themselves, communicate and regulate their temperature. Scientists have tried to replicate these color-changing properties for stealth technologies, anti-counterfeiting measures and electronic displays, but the materials have limitations. Now, researchers have developed a flexible film that changes color in response to stretching, pressure or humidity.

OPD Optical Sensors That Reproduce Any Color

Photodiodes are optical sensors that convert the energy of light into electrical energy. Organic photodiodes (OPDs) respond quickly and have the advantage of being able to realize colors free from color filters because they can control the spectral response of wavelengths.
