Integrated sensors that digitize physical interactions are vital in everyday life. From personalized user experiences to warehouse inventory management, data-driven insights are driving demand for smarter sensors—and in greater quantities.
Some believe that sensor printing is the key to meeting this demand. With established printing methods, sensors capable of measuring pressure, force, touch, light, gas, temperature, and more can be manufactured on large surfaces and in large volumes.

High-quality, flawless, and perfectly dimensioned metal components. The power of quantum computing seems destined to optimize production processes in the metalworking industry. A team led by Professor of Business Informatics Wolfgang Maaß of Saarland University and the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) is working with commercial and academic partners on the "Quasim" project to develop new simulations based on quantum technology that could not be performed with current conventional computer architectures due to computational time and storage limitations.

When it comes to transportation, safety is paramount, and due to the exponential increase in demand in the electric vehicle market, awareness of thermal runaway and potential battery fires is simultaneously rising. The IDTechEx report, "Fire Protection Materials for EV Batteries 2024-2034: Markets, Trends, and Forecasts," explores various battery technologies and fire-resistant materials as emerging options for addressing these risks.

Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators: devices that transform energy into movement. Because of their size, muscle fibers are more powerful and precise than most synthetic actuators. They can even heal from damage and become stronger with exercise.
For these reasons, engineers are studying ways to power robots with natural muscles. They have demonstrated a handful of "biohybrid" robots that use muscle actuators to power artificial skeletons that walk, swim, pump, and grasp. But each robot has a very different structure, and there is no overall plan for getting the most out of muscles.

Renesas Electronics Corporation has introduced the RA0 series of microcontrollers (MCUs) based on the Arm® Cortex®-M23 processor. The RA0s consume only 84.3 µA/MHz of current in active mode and just 0.82 mA in standby mode. Furthermore, Renesas offers a software standby mode in the new MCUs that reduces power consumption by an additional 99 percent to a minuscule 0.2 µA.
