(a) A low-magnification tunneling electron microscope (TEM) image of Gr–Si nanoparticle (NP). (b) A higher-magnification image for the same Gr–Si NP from the white box in a. (Insets) The line profiles from the two red boxes indicate that the interlayer spacing between graphene layers is ~3.4 Å, in good agreement with that of typical graphene layers […]

High efficiency, low standby power consumption and a power reserve, all this can be gained with a new adapter from our portfolio. Minwa NR120P150PGS/E+ is in fact an “ordinary“ adapter with a fixed output voltage 12VDC/1500 mA. But it´s worth to mention, that it meets everything, what we usually require from a modern mains adapter: […]

First Impressions Bench power supplies aren’t really pieces of kit that get your pulse racing, they just sit there doing their job, in some cases giving gentle background heating to keep the lab warm in the winter and providing enough ballast to stop your bench wobbling about too much. The traditional bench top power supply […]

We have already seen a number of ideas for tracking tags seeking funds on Kickstarter, most systems are limited by the range of Bluetooth communication with a smart device. This system from Iotera tackles the problem using cloud-based thinking:  The basic wireless system consists of one or more tags or ‘iotas’ and a home base […]

Introduction The Handy Lab Buddy is a tool every ECE should have. The four features of this tool include a talking voltmeter, logic probe, voltage averager, and frequency measurer. As a cheap and accurate device that outputs whatever being measured through speakers, it’s one of its kind and an essential tool for lab work. Summary […]

Description Here’s another daft yet interesting PIC12F675 idea I came up with. When I wanted to show someone how logic gates worked I could only find a NAND gate which wasn’t very handy for demonstrating AND’s OR’s, NOR’s and ExOR’s.  I also wanted to have a play with the A/D converter on the 12F675 so […]

In a recent press release the Saelig Company Inc have announced that they will be distributing a new 100MHz four-channel benchtop oscilloscope from Owon. The Far-Eastern manufacturers have been building a reputation for quality, low-cost test equipment and the new TDS7102 has a similar spec to the existing four-channel SDS7102 but with the added convenience […]
