Infineon paves the way for doing away with keys. Smart locks will in future power themselves contactlessly from the mobile phone

Munich, 22 July 2022 – In the future, using keys will be a thing of the past in many areas of life. Infineon Technologies AG is launching a solution on the market that can be used to open and close locks via the mobile phone – without any batteries in the lock. The application gets the power it needs contactlessly from the mobile phone. This is also referred to as energy harvesting.

“Infineon is paving the way with the new solution for doing away with keys,” says Adam White, Division President Power & Sensor … Read More → "Infineon paves the way for doing away with keys. Smart locks will in future power themselves contactlessly from the mobile phone"

Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Researchers Improve the Scanning Capability of Magnetic Particle Imaging Systems Used for Medical Imaging

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a highly sensitive emerging medical imaging technique. However, currently available scanners suffer from poor resolution and small field of view. Now, in a new study, researchers from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have developed an inexpensive, small MPI system with a high magnetic gradient and coverage volume that enables scanning of human-scale objects at high resolution.
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging imaging modality that is based on the detection of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles that have been injected into the body. The magnetic particles act … Read More → "Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology Researchers Improve the Scanning Capability of Magnetic Particle Imaging Systems Used for Medical Imaging"
