Two Steps Closer to Flexible, Powerful, Fast Bioelectronic Devices
Columbia researchers design biocompatible ion-driven soft transistors that can perform real-time neurologically relevant computation and a mixed-conducting particulate composite that allows creation of electronic components out of a single material.
Despite COVID-19 Outbreak, Edge Computing to Drive Next Wave of Innovation in Asia-Pacific
Edge computing is poised to garner a lot of interest in Asia-Pacific, as emphasis on improving networking technologies for remote working grows amidst the current coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. The market for edge computing in APAC is estimated to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21% between 2019 and 2024 to reach US$ 5.8bn in 2024, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
Lung-Heart Super Sensor on a Chip Tinier Than a Ladybug
During a stroll, a woman’s breathing becomes a slight bit shallower, and a monitor in her clothing alerts her to get a telemedicine check-up. A new study details how a sensor chip smaller than a ladybug records multiple lung and heart signals along with body movements and could enable such a future socially distanced health monitor.
Immersion and Alps Alpine Announce a New Level of Partnership With Active Sensing Technology License

Peakboard 2: Improved Network Integration Thanks to Migration to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise
Peakboard, the specialist for the visualization of processes and data in real time, is launching the next generation of its all-in-one solution of the same name. The migration of the system to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise further simplifies the integration into company-owned networks, as users can optionally integrate the Peakboard Box into the company domain. This allows users to manage a Peakboard Box just like any other computer in the network and to read and process files directly.
A New Way to Cool Down Electronic Devices, Recover Waste Heat
Using electronic devices for too long can cause them to overheat, which might slow them down, damage their components or even make them explode or catch fire. Now, researchers reporting in ACS’ Nano Letters have developed a hydrogel that can both cool down electronics, such as cell phone batteries, and convert their waste heat into electricity.
