Medical sensors get smaller, robots invade the operating room, healthy hacking, and more are covered in what we call "Editor’s Choice."

Ricoh’s RP516 and RP517 are designed for applications that require a low supply voltage between 0.3 and 1.2 V.

New, compact clinical-grade medical sensors developed by Maxim Integrated will target applications like wireless earbuds.

Researchers developed an ion-gated transistor with relatively high transconductance and speed that can be used in analog or digital circuits such as EEG front-end “integrated” circuits.

Using artificial intelligence on voluminous data from controlled lithium-ion battery tests, researchers devised algorithms that assess battery-life expectancy based on early-cycle performance.

By using an array of red and near-infrared LEDs, a research team developed an optically based, non-invasive system for 2D mapping of the blood oxygen saturation across a patient’s skin.
