Water means a second chance for over-looked organic semiconductors

Water means a second chance for over-looked organic semiconductors

Tiny quantities of water might be ruining potentially useful organic semiconductors, according to researchers at Linköping University, who have a way to fix it. Key to the issue are ‘traps’ – places where carriers – holes or electrons – get stuck and are unable to contribute to semiconductor action. “There are traps in all organic …

One day heatsinks might be made of polythene

One day heatsinks might be made of polythene

MIT engineers have fabricated polythene films that conduct heat – not as well as copper (401W/mK), aluminium (237) or aluminium nitride (140–180) but, at 62W/mK, as good as steel and better than alumina (30), and much better than normal polythene which is an insulator at ~0.4W/mK. “We think this result is a step to stimulate …

Boost converter drives LED backlights and dims 100:1

Boost converter drives LED backlights and dims 100:1

Diodes has introduced a boost converter that can supply constant voltage or constant current to drive backlights, with a dimming ratio of 100:1. Called AL3353, it has an input voltage of 9V to 40V – maximum output voltage is dependent on the external mosfet used as a power switch Dimming is internally analogue, controlled by …

Sat nav module adds inertial navigation for self-driving cars

U-blox is planning to inertial dead-reckoning to satellite-based signals to improve navigation in locations with poor reception – like challenging urban environments. To be implemented in ZED-F9K – samples planned from July – will be a multi-band GNSS (global navigation satellite system) receiver, inertial sensors (3d accelerometer, 3d gyroscope), signal processing algorithms and correction services ...
