We’re talking about CMOS-based MEMS sensors that are 1,000 times smaller than their traditional silicon-based MEMS counterparts, offering greater bandwidth and higher sensitivity, while also being more cost-effective and reliable. Seriously—what’s not to love?
I’ve just been chatting with Dr. Josep Montanyà, who, along with Dr. Marc Llamas, founded Nanusens</ … Read More → "Want Nano-Scale, CMOS-Based MEMS Sensors?"
This week my special podcast guest is Matthias Wagner, CEO of Flux! Mattias and I chat about why hardware innovation is more important now than ever before, Flux’s recent agentic AI updates and what the future looks like for this exciting browser-based PCB design tool. Also this week, I check out a new ultrasound controlled artificial muscle developed by a team of researchers from ETH Zurich.

In a moment, I’m going to tell you about the slightest and slimmest Ethernet switches and routers you’ve never seen, but first… I’ve told this networking narrative before, and doubtless I’ll tell it again (it’s too good to waste). I graduated with my degree in Control Engineering in the summer of I980. My first position was in a … Read More → "Micro-Miniature Ethernet Switches and Routers"
Way back in the mists of time, in those halcyon days we used to call 2010, I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Bangalore (now Bengaluru), India. Formally founded as a fort in 1537, Bengaluru offers an eclectic mix of stone watchtowers and ancient temples, spectacular colonial-era architecture, and gleaming technology parks and skyscrapers.

I remember “ye olden days” when we (humans) designed electronic products by hand—conceiving circuits, selecting components, drawing schematics, laying out printed circuit boards (PCBs)… Can you imagine instead just telling an AI, “Make me a [your product here] for consumer use,” and it actually does it? Well, that day has arrived.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll doubtless say it … Read More → "Make It So: Agentic AI Comes to Flux"
