One of the world’s first integrated circuits goes up for auction

If it weren’t for the microchip, your smartphone would be size of a building and need its own power plant to work. Thanks to the integrated circuit and its modern incarnation in the microchip, electronics are a bit easier to carry around than that, and this week, Christie’s put one of the very first integrated […]

MEASURING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS WITH JUST AN ARDUINO AND A PIECE OF WIRE

MEASURING ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS WITH JUST AN ARDUINO AND A PIECE OF WIRE

Electromagnetic interference problems can be a real headache to debug. If you need to prove what causes your WiFi to slow down or your digital TV signal to drop, then the ability to measure electromagnetic fields (EMF) can be a big help. Professional equipment is often very expensive, but building an EMF detector yourself is

WORLD’S SMALLEST AND MOST AFFORDABLE 65W GAN ADAPTER FOR LAPTOPS AND MOBILE DEVICES

WORLD’S SMALLEST AND MOST AFFORDABLE 65W GAN ADAPTER FOR LAPTOPS AND MOBILE DEVICES

Though the sizes of laptops and mobile phones have become smaller and lighter over the years, that of power adapters have pretty much remained the same. They are still the same device we have always known them to be; bulky, messy and hard-to-carry-around. But the new GaNtechnology seeks to bring a revolution in the world of power
