The University of Manchester has made LEDs using a quantum well heterostructure made from 2d materials including graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenum disulphide. Efficiency isn’t far behind OLEDs. For more, scroll to the bottom of this graphene led story on the main Electronics Weekly website.

The graphene lightbulb has been the subject of a huge amount of speculation over the past few days. What is it? The truth is, nobody outside University of Manchester spin-out Graphene Lighting knows, so ignore anything you have heard or read. “As a scientist, I would love to say more, but for commercial reasons I can’t,” professor Colin Bailey told ...

Wearables has always seemed to me to be a bollox market but analysts IDC have done their best to give it substance.

By the power of Google Analytics, let’s see what was hot on Gadget Master in the month of March.

  Linear Tech’s LT3744 synchronous buck converter is designed to deliver 20A constantly from 12V, or 40A pulsed – this is 80 or 160W according to the company, so it is assuming 4V Vf. As it is intended for use in projectors, the design allows quick transitions between output current levels (see below) – and includes the facility to store ...

IBM says it will invest $3 billion over the next four years to establish an IoT (Internet of things) unit, and that it is building a cloud-based open platform to help clients and ecosystem partners across industries better integrate real-time data and insights from dispersed sources directly into business operations.

Welcome to another post in the series by Nick Locke, of Nicab Ltd, who has over 15 years experience in the electronics manufacturing industry specialising in interconnection cable assembly.

On Cardiff University’s Innovation Campus, the Compound Semiconductor Research Foundation is the recipient of a £17.3m grant from the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF) .

Power Integrations has a dual IGBT-driver core that has a footprint of 57.2×51.6mm and a height of 20mm. Designed to drive standard 1,200V and 1,700V IGBTs, the 2SC0435T2G1-17 combines a complete two-channel driver core with all components required for the IGBT driver circuit. Components include a galvanic isolated DC-DC converter, short-circuit protection, advanced active clamping or soft shut down and ...

The Kennedy administration seems to promise to the three military services – Air Force, Army and Navy – much of what the Eisenhower administration denied them. So, 55 years ago, starts a story in Electronics Weekly’s edition of November 30 1960.
