Flat microscope for the brain could help restore lost eyesight


https://www.electronics-lab.com/flat-microscope-brain-help-restore-lost-eyesight/

by Jon Fingas @ Engadget: You’d probably prefer that doctors restore lost sight or hearing by directly repairing your eyes and ears, but Rice University is one step closer to the next best thing: transmitting info directly to your brain. It’s developing a flat microscope (the creatively titled FlatScope) that sits on your brain to both […]

Movidius Deep Learning USB Stick by Intel


https://www.electronics-lab.com/movidius-deep-learning-usb-stick-intel/

Last week, Intel launched the Movidius Neural Compute Stick, which is a deep learning processor on a USB stick. This USB stick was not an Intel invention. In fact, Intel had acquired Movidius company that had produced last year the world’s first deep learning processor on a USB stick based around their Myriad 2 Vision Processor. Neural Compute Stick […]

Pulse Generator For Stepper Controller Using AD654


https://www.electronics-lab.com/pulse-generator-stepper-controller-using-ad654/

This stepper pulse generator project is an easy solution for stepper controller drive. It’s a very important tool and can be used to drive stepper in standalone mode. It generates square wave pulses in frequency range 0-50Khz. This project has multiple features which are a must for stepper controller. It has on board frequency generator […]

Next Generation Solar Cell That Can Capture Nearly All Energy of Solar Spectrum


https://www.electronics-lab.com/next-generation-solar-cell-can-capture-nearly-energy-solar-spectrum/

Researchers developed a multijunction solar cell on a GaSb substrate that can efficiently convert the long-wavelength photons typically lost in a multijunction solar cell into electricity. This prototype cell has an efficiency of 44.5% which is higher than conventional solar cells. A GaAs-based cell is stacked mechanically with the GaSb-based materials to create a four-terminal, five […]

290Hz Narrowband Laser On Chip For Numeros Photonic Applications

The Aurora Boxealis – A Color Sensing and Mirroring Project


https://www.electronics-lab.com/aurora-boxealis-color-sensing-mirroring-project/

Besides looking damned good on an otherwise bland and ordinary desk, this project is about more than just being attention grabbing eye candy.  It’s about demonstrating a small portion of our single board computer capabilities by hooking up a color sensor, RGB light strip, and enclosing it in a nice looking wooden enclosure.  We’re dubbing […]

Arduino PICO, The Tiny Arduino-Compatible Board


https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-pico-tiny-compatible-arduino/

MellBell, the Canadian-based hardware and electronics company, has launched their first product: Arduino PICO! At first, the company says that Arduino PICO is the smallest Arduino compatible board ever, since it is 0.6″ x 0.6″ inch sized (~15mm squared). This tiny fully-fledged arduino-compatible board has a Leonardo-compatible 16MHz ATMEGA32U4 chip and a micro-USB port. The main cause […]
