Today’s younger generation has always been able to contact other people instantly, at the touch of a button — as birthday cards, handwritten letters and even a simple telephone call have been overshadowed by ground-breaking technologies such as instant messaging and video calling. Online platforms have progressed to allow this kind of communication to take [...]
Remember the good old days of jukeboxes, typewriters and getting lost on long car journeys while trying to read a fold-out map? Fifty years ago, these items were a staple in day-to-day life. However, since then, technology has progressed immensely. Tiny portable music libraries, ultra-slim laptops, in-built satnavs and virtual gaming goggles are just some [...]
While the Internet of Things (IoT) has been around for over 20 years, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is still a relatively new concept. The IoT is the notion of connecting electronic devices via a network, whereas the IoMT refers specifically to any medical equipment connected to an IT system, usually via Wi-Fi. These [...]
The modern medical landscape would not be where it is today without the rapid progression and innovation of medical technology (or ‘MedTech’). We discussed the use of electronics in soft, flexible technology back in October. This piece outlined how electronics are being more widely incorporated into wearable and implantable MedTech. However, electronics are also used [...]
The Six Nations Championship is one of the oldest surviving rugby traditions — and among the best-attended sporting events in the world. Long gone are the days of old, wooden scoreboards or watching the game on a fuzzy, low-quality TV. See those gigantic screens at the stadium? The ones at the pub? Even the ones [...]

There are lots of reasons why, as an OEM, you might choose to outsource your electronics manufacturing. Perhaps you don’t have the necessary capabilities in house, or the money required for upfront investments in equipment. Or maybe you need help speeding up your time to market. However, electronics manufacturing is a complicated process. Any decision [...]
The world around us is rarely flat — so, it was only a matter of time before the rigid technology we have become accustomed to started to evolve into something altogether more malleable. Flexible — or “soft” — electronics can be manufactured using identical components to those used for rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs), whilst [...]
There once was a time when Christmas was hardly celebrated. In fact, it wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that it became an annual tradition celebrated around the world. But have you ever wondered who invented Christmas lights? Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, created the very first strand of electric lights. [...]
