STMicroelectronics joins mioty alliance, releases protocol stack
STMicroelectronics is looking to inspire next-generation Massive IoT applications, which are driven by scale rather than speed, through its support for the mioty standard. [ + ]
How can human hair boost perovskite solar cell performance?
Researchers have used carbon dots, created from human hair waste, to create a kind of 'armour' to improve the performance of cutting-edge solar technology. [ + ]
Researchers 'paint' Marie Curie in a semiconductor layer
Imagine that you could paint a canvas by making the canvas itself change to a different colour instead of brushing paint on it. [ + ]
New GNSS anti-spoofing service developed
Galileo has developed the OSNMA anti-spoofing service, which allows secure end-to-end transmission from Galileo satellites to OSNMA-enabled GNSS receivers. [ + ]
Calcium electrolyte could be used for batteries
