Flexible Solar Cells A Step Closer to Reality
Solar cells that use mixtures of organic molecules to absorb sunlight and convert it to electricity, that can be applied to curved surfaces such as the body of a car, could be a step closer thanks to a discovery that challenges conventional thinking about one of the key components of these devices.
Future of Portable Electronics — Novel Organic Semiconductor with Exciting Properties
Researchers synthesize a new substance that can potentially be adapted to form a semiconductor with wide applications in electronics. Semiconductors are substances that have a conductivity between that of conductors and insulators. Due to their unique properties of conducting current only in specific conditions, they can be controlled or modified to suit our needs.
Second Quarter 2019 Worldwide Semiconductor Equipment Billings of $13.3 Billion Down 20 Percent from 2018, 3 Percent from Prior Quarter
Worldwide semiconductor manufacturing equipment billings reached US$13.3 billion in the second quarter of 2019, down 20 percent from the same quarter of 2018 and 3 percent from the previous quarter, SEMI, the global industry association representing the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, reported today.
CEA-Leti and Orolia Announce FlexFusion, A Powerful Positioning & Navigation Technology
Leti and Orolia today announced a new sensor-data-fusion engine that ensures resilient positioning and navigation even in cases of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) jamming or spoofing.
Called FlexFusion, the algorithm technology processes data from GNSS, inertial management units (IMU) and odometers to provide precise positioning in all conditions

Specialize, Partner or Perish: Embrace Foundry Evolution for BioMEMS
The BioMEMS market is becoming increasingly diverse, encompassing gas and pressure sensors, ultrasound, specialized biomedical sensors, and other types of MEMS and microfluidic chips used for drug delivery and analytical applications.
Texas Instruments Unveils Solderless Robotics Kit for University Education
Texas Instruments (TI) (Nasdaq: TXN) today introduced the newest addition to the TI Robotics System Learning Kit (TI-RSLK) family, the TI-RSLK MAX, a low-cost robotics kit and curriculum that is simple to build, code and test. Designed for the university classroom, the solderless assembly allows students to have their own fully functioning embedded system built in under 15 minutes. Classrooms that may not have access to soldering equipment benefit from the solderless, hands-on kit and curriculum that can be reused year after year.
Narrow Plasmonic Surface Lattice Resonances Prefer Asymmetric Dielectric Environment
A research group led by Dr. LI Guangyuan and Dr. LU Yuanfu from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a novel type of SLR based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) arrays. The paper, entitled “Narrow plasmonic surface lattice resonances with preference to asymmetric dielectric environment,” was published on Sep. 2 in Optics Express and was highlighted as an Editor’s Pick.
