The First 3D Quantum Liquid Crystals
https://www.electronics-lab.com/first-3d-quantum-liquid-crystals/
Strong electron interactions can drive metallic systems toward a variety of well-known symmetry-broken phases, but the instabilities of correlated metals with strong spin-orbit coupling have only recently begun to be explored. A team of physicists at the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech, had discovered an new state of matter that may have applications […]
Electrolytic + polymer = the hybrid capacitor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/electrolytic-polymer-hybrid-capacitor/
Electrolytic capacitor is often a common reason for device failure and replacement is necessary. But what if we could combine the benefits of electrolytics and polymer capacitors. Now you can have the best of both worlds: hybrid capacitors from have been designed to combine the advantages of electrolytic capacitors with those of solid polymer capacitors. […]
USB 3.0 NanoHub
https://www.electronics-lab.com/usb-3-0-nanohub/
Muxtronics @ tindie.com designed a USB 3.0 mini hub. Source files here: Are you familiar with my NanoHubs? Tiny, penny-sized USB hubs you can use to add additional USB ports in incredibly cramped spaces, like hacking projects or mobile devices? Whereas the original NanoHubs were all USB 2.0, limited to 480Mbps, this new NanoHub allows […]

Christian @ hackaday.io build his own USB Hub based on GL850G IC: I was looking to make a custom USB Hub for a project but I couldnt find any of them that worked and using the chip GL850G. The chip is pretty old and cheap, but in my case I didnt need to use any […]
Store Data in Nanomagnets
https://www.electronics-lab.com/store-data-nanomagnets/
Imagine if a bit of data can be stored in a single atom or a small molecule, then massive volumes of data can be stored in a tiny amount of space. This theory was the topic of a research tries to develop a new method to store data magnetically in atoms. As the magnetization of an atom can […]
Pool Buddy – Monitor your pool water quality
https://www.electronics-lab.com/pool-buddy-monitor-pool-water-quality/
Monitor and log water quality (pH & ORP) and temperature from everywhere. Instead of performing regular checks with tester kits to maintain adequate pH and chloride levels in our (small) swimming pool, I decided to build a project that monitors the water continuously and registers the data online so I can easily inspect it. Pool […]

Earlier this month, the multifunctional autonomous mobile robots “AMY A1” and “AMY M1” had been launched as the first batch of products of AMY Robotics. Amy Robotics is an innovative technology company focusing on research and development of service robots that enhance quality of life with robotic technologies, products and services. Both AMY Robots are intelligent mobile-service robots characterized […]
Bosch glue pen teardown
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bosch-glue-pen-teardown/
electrobob @ electrobob.com tipped us with his latest teardown of a battery powered Bosch glue pen. He writes: On the right side we can see the fuse and a IRF3711Z 6mΩ 20V HEXFET driving the heating element. At the glue melting end there is no temperature sensor, they are probably relying on the positive thermal […]
