Kight is turning domestic batteries into a scaled manufacturing proposition. Its planned Dumfries plant would assemble AI-managed 10kWh home storage systems built around a non-graphite anode chemistry and an EnergiFlow control stack tuned to tariff, demand, and grid signals.
-
ROHM is turning SiC module evaluation into reusable inverter platforms. Three new reference designs package board-level design data around its latest modules across industrial and automotive power-conversion applications.
-
Anglia has widened Digi coverage across the Nordics and Baltics. The extension brings local technical and commercial support as the distributor steps up demand creation around wireless, embedded Linux, and industrial IoT platforms.
-
Sheffield is leading a new national semiconductor design centre. The £12.5 million programme will focus on heterogeneous systems, advanced integration, and shared design infrastructure for UK electronic systems development.
-
PLS has widened MCU runtime profiling beyond dedicated trace hardware. UDE 2026 adds CPU-load sampling through the debug interface, opening analysis to microcontrollers where trace support is limited or absent.
-
Keysight has extended optical component validation to 220 GHz. The new platform targets the measurement bottlenecks emerging around 1.6T and 3.2T optical transceiver development for AI and data centre interconnects.
-
CEA-Leti and NcodiN are taking optical interconnects wafer-scale. Their collaboration moves nanolaser-based photonic interposers onto a 300 mm silicon photonics process aimed at future AI and high-bandwidth computing packages.
