Energy Harvesting Electronics: From CES 2025 to a Battery-Free Future
6 minNewsletters
The electronics industry is on the cusp of a quiet revolution. For decades, our devices – from smart sensors and wearables to remote monitors – have relied on disposable batteries that are costly to replace and difficult to recycle. But what if those devices could power themselves?
Thanks to breakthroughs in energy harvesting, self-powering devices are becoming a reality. From kinetic generators to photovoltaic hybrids, new energy harvesting...

Electret Generators: The Unsung Heroes of Motion Energy Harvesting
6 minNewsletters
Electret generators are the unsung heroes of energy harvesting. These electrostatic generators convert ambient mechanical energy – such as vibration, motion, and pressure – into electrical power using electret materials. With no coils, no magnets, and few moving parts, they use electrostatic induction to convert subtle movements into usable current, with no external priming or charging required. Their simplicity and durability make them effective...

Digital Transformation in Aerospace Electronics Design
9 minBlog
The demand for advanced avionics and space systems is surging, with the global aerospace electronics market forecast to reach $206 billion by the end of 2030. But this growth doesn’t come without a dramatic increase in difficulty. Modern aircraft and spacecraft aren’t what we previously considered “typical” vehicles. They have become something else entirely. Now, they resemble sophisticated, interconnected networks of sensors, processors, and...

How Structural Electronics Is Reshaping Electrical Engineering
9 minBlog
In the ever-evolving landscape of electrical engineering, a revolutionary approach is gaining momentum: structural electronics.
Unlike traditional electronics that are housed within protective casings, structural electronics integrate electrical functionality directly into the materials that form the structure of a device.
This paradigm shift represents a fundamental reimagining of how we design, manufacture, and implement electronic systems....

Best Practices for Managing Component Obsolescence in Aerospace Electronics
7 minBlog
Extending the life of aerospace equipment goes hand-in-hand with proactive planning for future component transitions. Just as electric vehicles (EVs) have evolved to incorporate components and features once exclusive to consumer electronics, aerospace systems may eventually follow suit—adopting smaller, more powerful, and more sustainable parts.
While aerospace maintains a much higher degree of regulatory compliance, the industry can at least...
