Ending an Ugly Chapter in Chip Design

Cars That Think

Discussions at chip design conferences rarely get heated. But a year ago at the International Symposium on Physical Design , things got out of hand. The crux of the clash was whether Google’s AI solution to one of chip design’s thornier problems was really better than humans or state-of-the-art algorithms. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Chalmers team develops graphite-like anode for Na-ion batteries; Janus graphene

Green Car Congress

The approach, reported in an open-access paper in Science Advances , provides a way to design carbon-based materials for sodium-ion batteries. Nanosheets having asymmetric chemical functionalization on opposite faces are commonly referred to as “Janus” graphene, named after a two-faced ancient Roman god. —Sun et al.

The Most Hackable Handheld Ham Radio Yet

Cars That Think

I’m using K5 here to refer to both the original K5 and the new K5(8) model.) The key technical distinction between the 5R and K5 is a seemingly minor design choice. Hopefully, this design will inspire other radio makers to offer more support for modders, in turn bringing more innovation to the VHF and UHF radio bands.

Recent Hybrid Braking Complaints Highlight Regenerative Braking Design Issues

Green Car Congress

The motor-generator must be connected in some manner to the vehicle’s final drive such that the vehicle’s coasting motion will cause it to rotate. A pedal feel emulator, sometimes referred to as a stroke simulator, smooths out brake pedal feel to give the driver the tactile feedback of a conventional braking system’s pedal response.
