Chirp Microsystems MEMS-based Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensor for Automotive and Industrial Applications
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/tdk-mems-based-ultrasonic-time-of-flight-sensor
A Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor works by sending out a signal (usually ultrasound or light) and waiting for it to bounce back from an obstacle and return to the sensor. The distance to the object can then be calculated from the time it took for the signal to return.

How a Novel LED Chip Has Minimised a Common Chip Problem: ‘Efficiency Droop’
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/how-a-novel-led-chip-has-minimised-a-common-chip-problem-efficiency-droop
LEDs may be a leading light source, but their traditional chip architectures are subject to a form of inefficiency known as ‘efficiency droop’. We look at how a new chip architecture developed by IBM, NIST (the National Institute of Standards), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and the University of Maryland, has minimised such inefficiency.
