Toyota is planning on launching 'talking' vehicles in United States in 2021. Using short-range wireless technology, cars that can communicate with other vehicles could possibly minimize accidents.

Toyota to Start Deploying Chips in Battle to Get Cars ‘Talking’ Toyota Motor Corp. laid out plans to start putting short-range communications chips in U.S. vehicles in the next three years, staking out its position in a battle to make cars safer by getting them to “talk” with one another.

The race for 5G is getting more intense than ever! Read this article to know more about why 5G technologies matter to the US economy and what are the hurdles in the way.

In the $500B global race for 5G glory, the US struggles to defend its wireless title The US lags behind China and South Korea, in the race to win 1st place in 5G infrastructure. And the economic impact for the winner will be massive.

Professor Drew Hall at CWC and his team have designed a tiny chip—way smaller than a penny and can even fit inside a 16 gauge needle—for continuous, long-term alcohol monitoring. The chip could be implanted just under the skin and is powered wirelessly by a wearable device such as a smartwatch or patch. The goal of this work is to develop a convenient, routine monitoring device for patients in substance abuse treatment programs.

Sneak peak at one of the UC San Diego Research Expo 2018 posters: Electrical engineers built this mini "near-zero-power" temperature sensor that could extend the battery life of wearables and Internet of Things devices. The sensor runs on just 113 picowatts.

"We're building systems that have such low power requirements that they could potentially run for years on just a tiny battery," said Hui Wang, a grad student from the lab of UC San Diego Electrical & Computer Engineering Prof. Patrick Mercier.

Wang will be presenting his poster at Research Expo on Apr. 19.
Title: "A 113 pW Fully Integrated CMOS Temperature Sensor Operating at 0.5 V"
