Can Robots Help Revitalize American Manufacturing?

May 1st 2025 (Image by Cindy Li)Robots are indeed helping American manufacturing by replacing human labor. In 2024, the average cost of wages and benefits for a manufacturing worker in the U.S. is approximately $45 per hour; whereas the total lifecycle cost of a robotic arm in a factory is about $10 per hour, and … Read more

How Embedded Engineers Efficiently Manage Their Time

When you see a programmer’s hands flying over the keyboard, it is often not about coding, but rather likely a heated discussion with the product manager about requirements; another possibility is a verbal sparring match with the testers; there’s also a 10% chance they are writing on forums to pass the time; and a 1% … Read more

PhD Student from Wuhan University Publishes in Nature Nanotechnology!

Perovskite tandem solar cells (TSCs) have become a research hotspot in the photovoltaic field due to their high theoretical efficiency (>40%) and low-cost fabrication processes. However, wide-bandgap (WBG) perovskites face significant challenges such as crystallization inhomogeneity, phase separation, and high defect density caused by bromine doping, which severely limit the efficiency and stability of large-area … Read more

University of Southampton Microsystems & Nanoengineering: Superlenses Enable Precise Control of Nanoparticles

Problem Addressed: Traditional optical levitation systems face challenges such as large optical component sizes and low integration when achieving high-frequency rotational control of nanoparticles in a vacuum. Additionally, there is a lack of efficient means to control the translational and rotational motion patterns of nanoparticles, limiting their application in ultra-precision measurement and fundamental physics research. … Read more

Triple-Standard Hypochlorite Quantitative Array Enabled by Precise Stokes Shift Modulation in D-π-A Chemodosimeters

Click the blue text above to get more exciting content! Abstract The rational design of D-π-A type chemosensors with significant Stokes shift is crucial for enhancing the visualization of optical sensing signals. Here, three D-π-A type fluorescent chemosensors were synthesized using 2-(3-cyano-4,5,5-trimethylfuran-2(5H)-yl)malononitrile (TCF) as the electron-withdrawing group by precisely adjusting the electron-donating strength. By reducing … Read more

Comprehensive Guide to Selecting SerDes Chips Based on Screen/Camera Resolution (Formula Derivation + Practical Cases)

🚀 Comprehensive Guide to Selecting SerDes Chips Based on Screen/Camera Resolution (Formula Derivation + Practical Cases) 1. Why Select SerDes Based on Resolution? First, let’s briefly discuss the background: SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) essentially compresses/decompresses data bandwidth, transmitting high-speed data (screen images, camera video) to another location. The higher the resolution, the higher the refresh rate/frame rate, … Read more

Microbit | Sensor Series 19 – Dual Color LED Sensor

01 Introduction The dual color LED sensor is an LED that can display two colors. It has three states: off; color 1 on; color 2 on. Depending on the color combinations, dual color LEDs can be red-blue, yellow-blue, red-green, etc. Dual color LEDs are commonly used as status indicator lights, such as indicating whether an … Read more
