Find the right solder for you
Posted on: 18 May 2014
From a wide offer of solders from company Stannol, it´s easy to choose the most suitable type meeting your demands. The solder matters, it is an undisputable fact confirmed daily in a development and production of electronics. Hand soldering of prototypes, automated machine soldering, soldering of small SMT components or on the in contrast soldering […]
Toronto team's robotic arm control is all in the mind
Posted on: 17 May 2014
This week’s attention-getting version of a mind-controlled robotic device comes in the form of an Emotiv EPOC BCI headset controlling a robotic arm with a system smart enough to move the arm using simple movements such as a clenched jaw or wink of the eye. University of Toronto student Ryan Mintz and his team connected an Emotiv EPOC BCI headset to a robotic arm, which responded to the brainwaves captured by the headset
The early earthworm catches on to full data release
Posted on: 16 May 2014
To quote the American cartoonist Gary Larson: all things play a role in nature, even the lowly worm—but perhaps never in such a visually stunning way as that presented in two papers published today in the open access journals GigaScience and PLOS ONE. The work and data presented here provide the first-ever comparative study of earthworm morphology and anatomy using a 3D non-invasive imaging technique called micro-computed tomography (or microCT), which digitizes worm structures.

Clemens Valens, Editor-in-Chief of Elektor Online and head of Elektor Labs, caught up with Peter Lomas, hardware designer for the Raspberry Pi single-board computer, earlier this year at the Embedded World 2013 trade show in Nuremberg, Germany. This is a longer version of an interview with Lomas published in Elektor’s May 2013 issue. The Lomas […]
Low Power, 3-Axis Digital Output Gyroscope
Posted on: 13 May 2014
Description The MAX21000 is a low power, low noise, 3-axis angular rate sensor that delivers unprecedented accuracy and sensitivity over temperature and time. It operates with a supply voltage as low as 1.71V for minimum power consumption. It includes a sensing element and an IC interface that provides the measured angular rate to the external […]
Best of Last Week – Pondering future of inflation theory, an enclosed tube maglev and arguing…
Posted on: 12 May 2014
(Phys.org) —Last week was a big one for space science, as it was announced that astronomers created the first realistic virtual universe—a computer simulation called “Illustris” that is able to recreate 13 billion years of cosmic evolution in a cube, with 350 million light-years represented on a side.
