- Bluetooth LE 5.3 and security in a wireless MCU STMicroelectronics has created a 40nm Bluetooth LE 5.3 wireless microcontroller family centred around a 100MHz Arm Cortex-M33 core – that’s the security-enabled version of the Cortex-M3, which has TrustZone virtualisation. Called STM32WBA52, the ICs are similar to the company’s earlier Cortex-M4-based STM32WB wireless microcontrollers, and have a +10dBm 2Mbit/s 2.4GHz...

- ST ramps up security in 250MHz Cortex-M33 MCU STMicroelectronics has introduced a 250MHz Arm Cortex-M33 microcontroller with the company’s own security hardware and software trusted execution environment (TEE) on top of Arm’s TrustZone. The part is the STM32H573 (or 563, ST has said both, watch this space), and the internal security system has been dubbed ‘STM32Trust TEE security...
- Graphene locks onto topological qubit The formation of a heterostructure of layered two-dimensional materials, envisioned as Lego-type blocks locking together. Image: Elizabeth Floresgomez Murray.According to an international team of researchers, a new form of heterostructure made from layered two-dimensional (2D) materials may overcome key barriers to the widespread application of quantum computing. The researchers were...
- 7 Grand Challenges for US chip industry The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released a report outlining seven strategic “grand challenges” in measurement, standardisation, and modelling and simulation needed to strengthen the U.S. semiconductor industry. Six of the seven grand challenges identified focus on the following: developing metrology for materials purity and properties;...
