Murata Manufacturing has developed what it describes as the world’s smallest* 008004-inch NTC thermistor, measuring just 0.25 mm × 0.125 mm. The new NCU01 series is designed for temperature sensing in space-constrained electronic devices, including smartphones, wearable devices and densely integrated modules.

MEMSensing launches bone-vibration sensor in Europe
MEMSensing has announced the European launch of its microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) bone-vibration sensor developed to improve uplink voice capture in true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds. Used alongside a conventional microphone, the sensor provides a separate reference for the wearer’s voice that is less affected by background and wind noise. Its compact, low-power design and microphone-like voltage output support integration, while the capacitive MEMS architecture enables reliable vibration detection in a component suited to high-volume production.
Murata begins production of world’s smallest three-terminal low-ESL MLCCs
Murata has begun mass production of the LLD series, the world’s smallest* three-terminal low-equivalent series inductance (ESL) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC). Measuring just 0201-inch size (0.6 × 0.3 mm), the new products reduce mounting area by approximately 64% compared with Murata’s previous smallest 0402-inch size (1.0 × 0.5 mm), freeing up valuable PCB space in compact devices such as smartphones and wearables.
ams OSRAM’s thin-film technology boosts brightness in infrared applications
Cameras, sensors, and AI-powered systems are increasingly taking on tasks once performed exclusively by humans. They recognise faces, track eye movements, monitor vehicle occupants, and guide autonomous machines through complex environments. What all of these applications have in common is their reliance on powerful yet virtually invisible infrared illumination.
