In this talk, one of the most complicated and important measurement equipment called – Vector Network Analyzer –, used in almost every RF test laboratory and many manufacturing processes for RF devices is explained. With help of a general block diagram, the typical hardware components which can be found in commercial VNAs, are described. In […]

Quantum Computing is often presented as one of the most promising technologies of the 21st century, a total disruption, a revolution. Governments, technologists, marketers, investors, and analysts project that Quantum Computing will solve today's impossible problems with classical computers. However, the wonders of this emerging technology of computation also give rise to a new threat vector named Q-Day or […]

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.Sea turtles are remarkable creatures for a number of reasons, including the way they hear underwater—not through openings in the form of ears, but by detecting vibrations directly through the skin covering their auditory system. Inspired by this ability to […]

Sweat: We all do it. It plays an essential role in controlling body temperature by cooling the skin through evaporation. But it can also carry salts and other molecules out of the body in the process. In medieval Europe, people would lick babies; if the skin was salty, they knew that serious illness was likely. […]

The race for Mars is on. NASA hopes to land the first Martian in the next decade, and the agency’s not alone: The China National Space Administration, Indian Space Research Organization, and Russia’s Roscosmos, as well as Elon Musk’s SpaceX have similar aspirations.Yet the trip to Mars a long journey, filled with questions about how […]

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.A tiny sensor could one day be placed next to tumors to monitor patients’ responses to cancer in real time. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of California, San Francisco, described a prototype sensor in a […]

The potential use cases for smart contacts are compelling and varied. Pop a lens on your eye and monitor health metrics like glucose levels; receive targeted drug delivery for ocular diseases; experience augmented reality and read news updates with displays of information literally in your face. But the eye is quite a challenge for electronics […]
