Mouser is partnering with celebrity engineer Grant Imahara to call on engineers of all levels to join them on a journey to Empower Innovation Together. [ + ]

RS Components has made a number of important enhancements to its website to make the customer's purchasing journey quicker and simpler. [ + ]

MIT engineers have developed a new transmitter design that reduces off-state leakage 100-fold. At the same time, it provides adequate power for Bluetooth transmission, or for the even longer-range 802.15.4 wireless-communication protocol. [ + ]

Computer chips' clocks have stopped getting faster. To keep delivering performance improvements, chipmakers are instead giving chips more processing units, or cores, which can execute computations in parallel. [ + ]

Omron has signed a new partnership agreement with Visy Automation to supply automation equipment over the next two years. [ + ]

It is nearly 50 years since Gordon Moore predicted that the density of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every two years. Moore's Law has turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy that technologists pushed to meet, but to continue into the future, engineers will have to make radical changes to the structure or composition of circuits.

Researchers at the University of Michigan and Western Michigan University are exploring new materials that could yield higher computational speeds and lower power consumption, even in harsh environments. [ + ]

IP Australia has partnered with IBM to engage the cognitive computing technology Watson, aimed at improving agency efficiencies and enhancing online service offerings for Australia's innovators. [ + ]

Many industries are calling for electronics that can operate reliably in a harsh environment, including extreme temperatures above 200°C. [ + ]

Microelectronic devices contain a multitude of transistors, and although each one produces very little heat individually, their combined thermal output is significant and can damage the device. [ + ]

Plastic solar cells use polymers instead of silicon to convert the energy from sunlight into electricity. [ + ]

The Internet of Things (IoT), Ethernet, big data, Industry 4.0, cloud services, cybersecurity and big data are all having an impact on how automation and control networks are being designed and planned. [ + ]

Arrow Electronics has acquired RDC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Computacenter. [ + ]
