Improving Wearables with Flexible and Rechargable Battery
https://www.electronics-lab.com/improving-wearables-flexible-rechargable-battery/
Nowadays, there is a lot of technology that implements wearables in fashion, medicine, worker safety, accessories and much more. Many wearables are coupled with uncomfortable charging cables that are irritating for users to handle, some even have big batteries that make wearables a burden instead of an advantage. Statistics show that people tend to abandon […]
Pressure Sensor of the Future, Today
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pressure-sensor-future-today/
Pressure sensors are used today in many fields, such as automotive industry, touch screen devices, aviation and biomedical instrumentation, many of these applications require precise and accurate measures. Many times, this can not be achieved because of the limitations of the sensors such as the inability to measure on round surfaces (if they are twisted […]
Flexipower – A portable, Controllable, Dual Channel Power Supply
https://www.electronics-lab.com/flexipower-portable-controllable-dual-channel-power-supply/
Hobbyists, makers, students and pretty much everyone who works with electronics has encountered the same issue, not having a handy power supply to test their projects. Usually, controllable power supplies are big, expensive and for some people difficult to access, and most small power supplies are not controllable. As a result, Roberto Lo Giacco created […]
Chirp Microsystem Made The Smallest And Most Accurate Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Sensors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/70595-2/
Recently Californian startup Chirp Microsystems officially announced two discrete ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors, the CH-101 and CH-201, with maximum sensing ranges of 1m and 5m, respectively. Both chips have a 3.5×3.5mm package and they are powered by same ASIC or application-specific integrated circuit for signal processing. To achieve different sensing ranges, the Piezoelectric Micro-machined Ultrasonic Transducers (PMUT), the […]

L20G20IS Gyroscope: The secret behind the perfect picture
https://www.electronics-lab.com/l20g20is-gyroscope-secret-behind-perfect-picture/
STMelectronics introduces a super tiny two-axis gyroscope (L20G20IS), a Micro-Electro-Mechanical system (MEMS) designed for the optical image stabilization for Smartphones with less energy consumption compared to its predecessor (L2G2IS). A gyroscope, or gyro for short, adds an additional dimension to the information supplied from the accelerometer by tracking rotation or twist. An accelerometer measures linear acceleration of movement, while […]
Brand New BiCMOS Flexible Transistor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/brand-new-bicmos-flexible-transistor/
The transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things since its very first practically implemented device as a point-contact-transistor invented in 1947 and getting the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956. Now, engineers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) have built the most flexible, fully-functional transistor in the world! The BiCMOS (Bipolar Complementary Metal […]
