Tuck professor Constance Helfat proposes a new theory of firm integration based on the costs of technological innovation When Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit—now known as a microchip—at Texas Instruments in the late 1950s, he unwittingly launched a multi-trillion-dollar industry that facilitated the information age. Because of the nature of the invention, Gordon Moore, […]

Novel Tandon-designed microchip will allow data to be processed without being decrypted
A research team at the NYU Center for Cyber Security (CCS) at NYU Tandon are participating in a major initiative in collaboration with data security company Duality — supported by a $14 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — to design a revolutionary new microchip (codenamed “Trebuchet”). The microprocessor, to be designed by […]
Rethinking microchips’ design pushes computing to the edge
Responding to artificial intelligence’s exploding demands on computer networks, Princeton University researchers in recent years have radically increased the speed and slashed the energy use of specialized AI systems. Now, the researchers have moved their innovation closer to widespread use by creating co-designed hardware and software that will allow designers to blend these new types […]
NEW MICROCHIP IMPROVES FUTURE OF SELF-POWERED WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY
Energy from your body heat and motion could fuel the future of preventative health care. Researchers at the University of Virginia are developing a low-power microchip that can support on-body, real-time health monitoring. By harvesting all its needed energy from sources like body heat, motion and sunlight, the chip will provide an extremely compact, long-lasting […]
Packing power into smaller spaces
Researchers create new polymer-based electrical insulation for smaller microchips From slimmer laptops to smaller smartphones, all of our most-used devices rely on increasingly smaller microchips. But, in recent years, researchers have seemingly hit the limit on how far these chips can shrink. One of the biggest hurdles to putting more circuits and power onto a […]
Easy Cheap 16F84 POV Message – AirText
This is a post of LEDs project. The project is called POV (Persistence Of Vision). If you are not familiar with this concept, it works as an LED matrix display. The difference is that POV display consists of one column of LEDs only and is mechanically scanned through space to give the vision of a 2D LED Matrix Display. […]
AVR High Voltage Programming (Fuses Rescue)
Half a year ago I restarted one of my old passions – electronics. I’ve studied electronics in college but that happened during the Middle Age (20yrs ago). While I was expecting this huge leap in schematics and what a hobbyist can do nowadays, I still had some difficulties in catching up. One which frustrated me […]
ESP32 With RFID: Access Control
How about a method of automatic identification through radio signals that can bring you security and control the access of people to a certain location? This is possible through radio frequency identification or RFID from the English Radio Frequency Identification. And it is the assembly of this system that I am going to teach you […]
The 2$ USB Pic Programmer & Serial Cable
This programmer is intended for people who need a microchip pic programmer to flash at hex file onto a micro controller, but seldom do so and find investing in a pic kit of some sort too expensive. The programming process will take a long time, 5-30 min depending on hex file size, so its NOT […]
INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE REGULATOR
The Incubator Temperature Regulator is made on a breadboard to demonstrate how to program and set the temperature of the regulator. It uses an LM35 temperature sensor, a serial LCD made with a PIC16F628A microcontroller and an Arduino Nano. The low & high setpoint is configurable to maintain the temperature range. An LED is used […]
