Ada Is a Memory-Safe Language. It's Also Not New. That's the Point.
May 4, 2026
The NSA and CISA published a cybersecurity information sheet in 2022 recommending that developers move to memory-safe languages. It was updated in 2023, then again in June 2025. These reports sparked extensive global discussion about the use of memory-safe languages in critical software. Other regulations, such as the European Cyber Resilience Act, do not explicitly mention technologies like memory safety but instead focus on higher-level concepts such as 'state-of-the-art' and 'secure-by-design'.

How Synthetic DNA for Data Storage Could Help the Memory Crisis
May 1, 2026
If you haven’t already heard, we’re in a memory crisis. More specifically, we’re in a global memory chip shortage, which began in late 2025 and is likely to persist into 2027, according to the International Data Corporation.
This shortage is caused by the exponential increase in high-performance AI models and the amount of data and subsequent data centers required to keep them running.

Industrial Automation is Advancing with AI, and the Opportunity is Huge
April 30, 2026
Ever since Physical AI became the hype term of the day, it’s rubbed me a bit wrong.
As it’s commonly defined, physical AI describes the intersection of AI with the physical world and the compute process by which AI can sense, control, and act in the real world.

Using Safety Application Notes to Aid Safety Designs Part 2: Plugging in the FMEDA
April 28, 2026
After doing some sanity checks to confirm whether the assumptions in deriving the component’s functional safety (FS) failure rate, failure mode distribution (FMD), and pin failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), the next step system integrators need to take is to plug the data into their system’s failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA).

Embedded AI Isn’t Enterprise AI, and That’s a Good Thing
April 13, 2026
If you listen to the mainstream AI conversation, you might assume that every meaningful deployment requires racks of GPUs, enormous training datasets, and a Cloud energy budget that could power a small city. That perception comes largely from the enterprise AI world. Large language models, enterprise analytics platforms, and recommendation engines dominate the headlines.

Why In-Domain ASR Is the Missing Link for Real Edge AI Deployment
April 10, 2026
Over the past two years, artificial intelligence (AI) has been defined by the rise of large language models (LLMs). Systems like ChatGPT have reshaped expectations around conversational interfaces and reasoning. Yet when we move beyond demos and examine what is shipping in consumer and industrial products, the presence of AI at the edge remains surprisingly limited.

Mouser Product of the Week: Analog Devices’ ADPA1112-EVALZ Evaluation Board
April 6, 2026
Test and evaluation are critical and repetitive processes for engineers working with a wide variety of applications, especially those that are safety-critical. Development and test platforms are designed to support engineers developing these systems, providing ready-to-use and fully equipped solutions that measure and support the reuse or adaptation of designs to fit existing systems.

Timing Is Now a Platform Decision: Why the Clock Must Come First
April 3, 2026
According to SiTime’s new State of Time 2025 report, half of all engineers responding to the survey stated that they consider timing component options at the beginning of the system design process. This is a major shift in system design practices, and it’s happening across multiple industries, from AI and edge compute to aerospace and industrial automation.

Mobile HMI and Healthcare: How Embedded is Enhancing Medical Facility Operations
April 3, 2026
While there are many facets of human machine interfaces (HMI), a growing trend is how Mobile HMI can be used to improve medical environments. HMIs are no longer fixed panels on a wall. Walk through any medical facility, and one will witness multiple users rolling mobile carts or holding hand-held devices. Mobile HMIs range from tablets and smart panel PCs to smartphones.
