Superconductivity at –23 degrees Celsius?
https://www.electronics-lab.com/superconductivity-23-degrees-celsius/
Researchers at the University of Chicago have managed to beat the previous world record for high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) by 50K. This new material reaches superconductivity at –23 °C (under very high pressure conditions). by Thomas Scherer @ elektormagazine.com Even though the material needs to be under extreme pressure at this temperature for superconductivity to occur, […]
Oscilloscope Differential Probe USB Power Supply
https://www.electronics-lab.com/oscilloscope-differential-probe-usb-power-supply/
By Dr. Martin Oppermann (Germany) & www.elektormagazine.com In his article published in the July & August 2016 issue, Elektor author Alfred Rosenkränzer presented a wonderfully simple differential probe for oscilloscopes, based around the AD8479 precision differential amplifier. I built one of them immediately and found it particularly suitable for measurements in the audio range, for […]
Review: Siglent SDS1204X-E four-channel oscilloscope
https://www.electronics-lab.com/review-siglent-sds1204x-e-four-channel-oscilloscope/
Here is a nice mini review of Siglent SDS1204X-E four-channel oscilloscope by Harry Baggen @ elektormagazine.com: A few years ago I wrote a review about the Siglent SDS1102X and back then I was very enamoured by the quality and extensive capabilities of this affordable instrument. In the meantime there have appeared a few successors in […]

elektormagazine.com writes: Have you read the BrainBox Arduino article in the latest edition of Elektor magazine? BrainBox Arduino is a rugged version of the Arduino Leonardo. Thanks to its sturdy screw terminals, a number of different power supply options, an on-board buzzer and a motor-driver IC that connects directly to motors, there is usually no […]
Improvement in the resolution of Retinal Prostheses
https://www.electronics-lab.com/improvement-resolution-retinal-prostheses/
Denis Meyer @ elektormagazine.com discuss how the researchers improved the resolution of retinal prostheses. A retinal prosthesis substitutes for the photo-receptor cells of the defective retina. It’s composed of a camera carried in spectacles; electronics that processes the camera information; and a matrix of microscopic electrodes implanted in the eye in contact with the retina. […]

Elektor 500ppm LCR meter case tips
https://www.electronics-lab.com/elektor-500ppm-lcr-meter-case-tips/
NopHead wrote a review of Elektor 500ppm LCR meter: I recently bought a 500ppm LCR meter from Elektor because I didn’t have anything for measuring inductors or the ESR (equivalent series resistance) of capacitors, both of which are important for modern electronics, particularly switch mode regulators that have become ubiquitous. It is also more accurate […]
