NUS Innovation Open Doors to Smaller, Cheaper and Long-Lasting IoT Sensors

Caption

NUS researchers invented a low-cost 'battery-less' wake-up timer that cuts power consumption of IoT sensor nodes by 1,000 times, contributing to long-lasting operation. The wake-up timer is embedded in a test chip, and placed in a larger package (held by both researchers) for easier testing and characterisation.
