http://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/semiconductors/devices/move-over-spintronics-here-comes-magnonics-to-the-rescue-of-electronics  European collaborative research center called Spin+X has offered a prototype of a device that leverages something called spin waves that may offer a way forward. Spin waves are the synchronous waves of electron spin alignment observed in a magnetic system. If the prototype is any indication, then researcher may have another avenue to explore when traditional electronics reaches →

Power-factor correction allows the input current to continuously flow, reduces the peak input current, and reduces the energy loss in the power supply, thus improving its operation →

https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-zero-w-joins-family/ Today is Raspberry Pi’s fifth birthday: it’s five years since we launched the original Raspberry Pi. It is here now: cheap Pi with WiFi and Bluetooth. Looks like suitable for Linux based IoT. →

https://blog.hackster.io/the-ultimate-guide-how-to-develop-a-new-electronic-hardware-product-6ec4c48a380f#.h8h5rk2r9 So you want to develop a new electronic hardware product? If so, you’re in the right place. Let me start with the good news — it’s possible! This is true regardless of your technical level and you don’t have to be an engineer to develop a new product (although it certainly helps). →
