It´s possible to receive the latest technical and safety datasheets of Kontakt Chemie products comfortably into your e-mail box. As chemical agents belong to a highly regulated segment (on-going REACH) process), it´s necessary that you always had the actual version of technical- and mainly safety datasheets for agents which you use. Especially for larger companies

PORTLAND, Ore. — IBM Research of Zurich is clearing the way for a “new generation of transistor” circuitry based on semiconducting nanowires whose tiny size imparts extraordinary properties not possible with standard bulk materials. The research lab’s latest innovation, accomplished with Norwegian University of Science and Technology, is a novel technique of mechanically straining gallium

Today we present an overview of today’s market offering regarding ARM RISC microcomputer able to run a GNU/Linux distribution. And once again, this is just the beginning. While the growth of such a device segment was predictable, it wasn’t easy to predict such an explosion. In fact we now have an heterogeneous set of options,

The Logic Pirate is an inexpensive yet capable open source logic analyzer. For just 30 bucks it can sample 8 channels, 256K samples per channel, at a blazing (overclocked!) 60 MILLION samples per second! It’s designed to support the SUMP logic analyzer protocol on Jawi’s open source software that works on most platforms. More than

This is pretty much one of those required projects; everyone builds a datalogger in an Altoids can. But each is different and I enjoyed making mine. Features: Uses ATmega328P (low power, 32K flash for lots of program space) Uses Maxim/Dallas DS1337 Real Time Clock (uses I2C) Logs data to microSD flash card, readable on PC
