3D Printed Organ-On-Chip
https://www.electronics-lab.com/3d-printed-organ-chip/
Researcher at Harvard University had been working to build new microphysiological systems (MPS), also known as organs-on-chips, that can mimic the operation of the structure and function of native tissue. By developing such systems, they are replacing the conventional way of measuring and testing synthetic organs -usually by testing them first on animals. Although such […]
Nanotechnoloy – Nano coating prevents exploding Li-ion batteries
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nano-coating-prevents-exploding-li-ion-batteries/
Lithium-ion batteries are very popular as they’re lightweight and have high energy density. But at the same time, li-ion batteries are very sensitive to overcharge/over discharge. An internal short circuit can cause fire and it may even lead to a violent explosion. Fortunately, nanotechnology found a way to prevent this kind of nightmare. How? let’s […]
PureModules, IoT Building Blocks
https://www.electronics-lab.com/puremodules-iot-building-blocks/
New range of building blocks for IoT development are just out there! Just like LEGO, PUREmodules by Pure Engineering are the building blocks for IoT connected smart sensors where there is no need to solder, using breadboard or wires. It’s all done just by snapping the modules together and writing some lines of code. The […]

Nick tipped us with his latest teardown of an advanced weighing scale. He writes: The Withings Body Cardio is the latest in the brand’s range of smart health-centered devices, and the second Withings product we’ve tackled in this series! It’s a smart scale with a pretty impressive set of metrics. It detects weight; fat, muscle […]
MAX11311 – The Powerful Configurable Mixed Signal I/O
https://www.electronics-lab.com/max11311-mixed-signal-io/
The MAX11311 is industry’s first configurable high-voltage mixed-signal I/O that allows user-defined ADC, DAC, or GPIO functionality. Programming MAX11311 is very easy. A nice GUI tool helps to generate the right register values. If you want to make a universal signal processing board with a good number of I/O, it often gets very difficult to […]
