Semiconductor radioactivity detector
https://www.electronics-lab.com/semiconductor-radioactivity-detector/
Robert Gawron has been working on a semiconductor radioactivity detector project: Currently I’m trying to make a working version of a radioactivity detector that uses semiconductor as a sensor. It’s a different approach than Geiger-Muller detectors, more complicated, but also much more interesting. While Geiger-Muller counters can only provide information about the amount of particles […]
First Solid-State Multi-Ion Sensor for Internet-of-Things Applications By Imec & Holst Centre
https://www.electronics-lab.com/first-solid-state-multi-ion-sensor-internet-things-applications-imec-holst-centre/
At last week’s IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in San Francisco (USA), imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technology and Holst Centre debuted a miniaturized sensor that simultaneously determines pH and chloride (Cl-)levels in fluid. This innovation is a must have for accurate long-term measurement of ion concentrations in […]
Making An Arduino I2C Digital Clock
https://www.electronics-lab.com/making-arduino-i2c-digital-clock/
Using Adafruit’s 0.56″ 7-segment LED backpack and display and the DS1307 RTC (Real Time Clock) board, this tutorial will guide you to make a simple 4-digit clock that uses only 2 Arduino pins. The 7-Segment Backpack is a combination of the LED display, header pins, and a PCB which need to be soldered together. The […]

Graham Prophet discuss about a new 3 axis magnetic sensor @ edn-europe.com: Memsic (Andover, Massachusetts) has added the MMC5883MA 3 axis magnetic sensor. The newest member of MEMSIC’s Anisotropic Magneto Resistive (AMR) based Magnetic Sensor family, it provides the industry’s highest accuracy, lowest noise and lowest power consumption, all combined in an industry standard small […]
New Thermoelectric Paint To Convert Heat Into Electricity
https://www.electronics-lab.com/new-thermoelectric-paint-convert-heat-electricity/
Scientists at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology have developed a thermoelectric coating that can be directly painted onto any surface to turn it into thermal generator. This new technique can be used to convert waste heat into electricity from objects of almost any shape. The team created an inorganic thermoelectric paint that […]
3 MilliWatt-Consumption Data Glasses
https://www.electronics-lab.com/3-milliwatt-consumption-data-glasses/
Data glasses display information to the eye without interfering with the wearer‘s vision but they run energy down very quickly due to the consumption of electronics while processing video images and data. Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology FEP had developed a new data glass that has low-power consumption. […]
These tiny batteries can be charged in seconds and last for a week
https://www.electronics-lab.com/tiny-batteries-can-last-for-week/
Battery anxiety is a modern day problem for many of us. Mobile phone and wearable technologies are getting developed rapidly, but battery issues seem to be neverending. As phones and wearables are getting thinner, there needs to be a trade-off between battery life and design. Scientists are searching for a way to make a battery that’s […]
30 Minutes HIV Detection Using USB Stick
https://www.electronics-lab.com/30-minutes-hiv-detection-using-usb-stick/
In partnership with DNA Electronics, Imperial College London researchers had developed a revolutionary USB stick that can detect HIV in the bloodstream. In order to detect the virus, it’s enough to use a drop of blood. Then the USB stick generates an electrical signal that can be read by a computer, laptop or handheld device. […]
