It’s a chandelier and an interactive map

by Larra Morris

The Global Data Chandelier is a permanent and functional art installation at the new headquarters of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. It’s the brainchild of several design firms working together: Sosolimited, Plebian Design, Hypersonic Engineering & Design and Chris Parlato.

The chandelier has 425 pendant lamps that turn on and off in order to reflect, globally, certain data types. These include renewable water resources, GDP growth and energy consumption.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

GaN for Humanoid Robots

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and Infineon

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Eric Persson and Amelia Dalton explore why power is the key driver for efficient and reliable robot movements and how GaN technologies can help motor control solutions be more compact, integrated and efficient. They also investigate the role of field-oriented control in humanoid robotic applications and why the choice of a GaN power transistor can make all the difference in your next humanoid robot project!
