These facts alone would make anybody assume eSIM adoption has been virtually problem-free. However, despite significant breakthroughs, the market has experienced […]
The advances in computing and communications wouldn’t have been possible without the transistor. This small semiconductor device invented at Bell Labs in 1947, has allowed the proliferation of integrated circuits, the core element in any hardware component. The latest semiconductor shortage is a clear reflection of the important place it has in current technologies. Over […]
The U.S. and NASA will soon put nuclear power on the Moon thanks to Department of Energy (DOE) cooperation.

Engineers from UCLA and their peers have created a novel design methodology that will allow manufacturers to 3D print robots in a single step, with their creations having movement and jumping abilities. Robots are normally constructed via a series of intricate manufacturing stages that include limbs, electronics, and active components. As a result of the […]
