Build the World’s Smallest Atomic Clock, Trap a Nitrogen Atom in a Carbon Cage. By Kyriakos Porfyrakis and Edward A. Laird @ ieee.org: An atomic clock begins with an oscillator [see diagram], which creates a frequency close to the energy level of the atom being used. If the oscillator deviates from the reference frequency, the […]

With CeraCharge, TDK has developed the world’s first solid-state battery in SMD technology. In contrast to most common battery technologies, CeraCharge works without any liquid electrolytes. by Christoph Hammerschmidt @ eenewseurope.com: Similar to ceramic capacitors, the CeraCharge is based on multilayer technology and combines a high energy density in the smallest possible space with process […]
Neutrino 3.0: The 32-bit Arduino Zero compatible!
https://www.electronics-lab.com/neutrino-3-0-32-bit-arduino-zero-compatible/
The Neutrino 3.0 is an inexpensive, open source, miniaturized version of the Arduino Zero! Featuring a 32-bit ARM processor running at 48MHz, and boasting 32K of ram, the Neutrino is far more capable than your typical Arduino. And because it has the same processor and pinout, all libraries written for the Zero will work on […]

Physicists design $100 handheld muon detector
https://www.electronics-lab.com/physicists-design-100-handheld-muon-detector/
by Jennifer Chu | MIT News Office: Now physicists working in MIT’s Laboratory for Nuclear Science have designed a pocket-sized cosmic ray muon detector to track these ghostly particles. The detector can be made with common electrical parts, and when turned on, it lights up and counts each time a muon passes through. The relatively […]
