Sergey Kiselev designed and built an Intel Quark D2000 micrcontroller based Environmental sensors board: This is a fairly small (51 x 51 mm) board, equipped with a low power Intel Quark D2000 microcontroller, and several sensors (accelerator, temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure), as well as a mikroBUS compatible header and a Grove compatible connectors, that can be […]
Supercapacitors Surpassing Conventional Batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/supercapacitors-surpassing-conventional-batteries/
Researchers at the University of Central Florida have been looking for alternatives for lithium rechargeable batteries which are largely used in every device. Using two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) capacitive materials, they are building a new supercapacitor that overcomes the performance of conventional lithium battery and replaces its efficiently. Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMDs) are […]

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has officially launched the core specifications of the new version of Bluetooth: Bluetooth 5. These specifications include longer range, faster speed, and larger broadcast message capacity, as well as improved interoperability and coexistence with other wireless technologies than recent Bluetooth versions, making it possible to advance IoT applications and […]
Semiconductor radioactivity detector
https://www.electronics-lab.com/semiconductor-radioactivity-detector/
Robert Gawron has been working on a semiconductor radioactivity detector project: Currently I’m trying to make a working version of a radioactivity detector that uses semiconductor as a sensor. It’s a different approach than Geiger-Muller detectors, more complicated, but also much more interesting. While Geiger-Muller counters can only provide information about the amount of particles […]
First Solid-State Multi-Ion Sensor for Internet-of-Things Applications By Imec & Holst Centre
