Given the growing need for security in the market, platforms must evolve rapidly to defend against cyberattacks during startup, in real time, and during system updates. Faced with these new threats, designers cannot assume that the equipment they use is trustworthy and must begin seeking new technologies to protect their systems.

It's becoming increasingly common for people to opt for electric vehicles (EVs), as confirmed by various industry reports. The pandemic brought a pause to global car sales, but it gave consumers the opportunity to consider the available options; apparently, many are beginning to see EVs as a viable choice. However, a number of obstacles still need to be overcome before these vehicles become more widespread; the most notable are concerns about charging time and range.

Designers of satellite and spacecraft systems have several options when selecting field-programmable gate array (FPGA) semiconductors. One option is commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) FPGA components, which reduce the unit cost and lead time, but are generally not reliable enough, require shielding (which increases costs and engineering resources), and demand triple modular redundancy (TMR) in both software and hardware to mitigate the effects of radiation in space.

Markets are expected to emerge for sensors capable of delivering response times as low as 100 ns and unprecedented cutoff frequencies above 1 MHz.
Much of what many operators in the industrial world are seeking to increase their sustainability and productivity levels depends on the greater efficiency of power converters. The power converter of the future, designed to operate in the harshest environments, including a wide temperature range, will need to deliver higher power output and be lightweight, quiet, and capable of high-frequency operation. Low power consumption will also be paramount.
