Earlier today, at Computex in Taiwan, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced that the upgraded Grace Blackwell chip, GB300 Blackwell Ultra, would ship in Q3. “When new markets have to be created, they have to be created starting here, at the centre of the computer ecosystem,” said Huang (pictured).. He also announced volume production of  an upgraded  RTX Pro Server system ...

After two years of steep declines, worldwide RAN revenue, excluding services, Q1 2025 was the first y-o-y growth quarter since Q1 2023, says Dell’Oro. “We attribute the improved conditions to favorable regional mix and lighter comps, rather than a change to the fundamentals that shape this market,” says Dell’Oro vp Stefan Pongratz, “while it is exciting that RAN came in ...

Imec and the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have introduced  a novel method for activating neural tissue using intermittent interferential current stimulation (i²CS). The method offers more precise and energy-efficient control over neural activation, reducing side effects and enhancing stimulation efficacy. This unlocks novel therapy possibilities for chronic diseases, such as vagus nerve stimulation for the treatment of depression and ...

Researchers at the Carbon Composite Materials Research Centre at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed  a supercapacitor that can last for 100k charge/discharge cycles without losing performance and which can endure high voltage environments. The technology overcomes the limitations of existing supercapacitors by utilising an  fibre structure composed of single-walled CNTs and the conductive polymer polyaniline ...

Creotech Instruments has secured a €52 million European Space Agency (ESA) contract to build a Polish satellite constellation for Earth Observation. The work is for Project Camila, which stands for “Country awareness Mission in Land Analysis”. Under the contract, Creotech will provide a national constellation of at least three Earth observation satellites along with dedicated ground infrastructure. The contract also ...

QS RF Locator is Quadsat’s new product to geolocate RF signals to a precise location. The drone-based technology will detect and locate the source of interference, for example, for both commercial and military applications. The Danish company – which uses drones to test and measure satellite antennas in-situ – is using its existing systems for the RF inspection. It says ...

The Orbital Edge Accelerator programme, which helps incubate space startups and is run by the ISS National Lab, is approaching its deadline. Beginning its launch last month, the accelerator is still open but companies only have until 19 May to apply for funding. Orbital Edge Six startups can receive an investment of up to $500,000. Following this there will be ...

Following a meeting yesterday between President Trump and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi, UAE will build the largest AI facility outside the USA. The agreement “includes the UAE committing to invest in, build, or finance U.S. data centres that are at least as large and as powerful as those in the UAE,” said a ...

Kioxia is sampling its first enterprise SSDs built with its 8th generation BiCS FLASH TLC which incorporates CMOS directly Bonded to Array (CBA) technology. CBA is claimed to deliver advances in power efficiency, performance and density, and sustainability, while doubling available capacity per flash device. The CM9 Series SSDs deliver performance improvements of up to approximately 65% in random write, ...

ABLIC claims that its S-19116 Series automotive high-voltage detector has the industry’s fastest detection response time of max. 6.8μs while achieving ultra-low current consumption of 2.0μA typ The detector is also claimed to significantly reduce system standby current. It comes in an  HSNT-6 (1.96×2.46×t0.5mm) package. Overvoltage protection is essential when supplying voltage from a battery through a regulator to MCUs ...
