Mare published a new build: Particle sensors could be cheap and easy to use. Disadvantage of lowest cost PM sensors is lack of “calibration”. The best method to measure particle content dispensed in the air is to collect the air sample and analyse it off-line in the laboratory with proper equipment (not cheap at all). […]

50A µModule regulator scalable to 250A runs cool with inductors exposed as heatsinks
https://www.electronics-lab.com/50a-%c2%b5module-regulator-scalable-to-250a-runs-cool-with-inductors-exposed-as-heatsinks/
Analog Devices announces the Power by Linear LTM4678 dual 25A or single 50A step-down µModule regulator with PMBus digital interface. By stacking and exposing its two inductors on top of BGA package, the LTM4678 uses the inductors as heat sinks to transfer heat from inside, keeping the device cool. Onboard EEPROM and PMBus I2C enables […]
