How Do You Measure Biological Thermal Picowatts? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve always been fascinated by extreme analog-sensor measurement schemes, where “extreme” can mean precision, magnitude (small and large), or ruggedness. Perhaps that interest was inspired by the late legendary Jim Williams’ classic 1976 article “This 30-ppm scale proves that analog designs aren't dead yet,” which I have cited many times as an example of meticulous analog design. That’s why I was intrigued by a project at Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) detailing some
Bacteria-Based “Transistors” Implement, Connect Basic Logic Functions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Perhaps it sounds like a premise from a futuristic science-fiction thriller: A team at MIT has engineered bacteria to behave like transistors, creating living circuit boards that can be printed onto agar plates. (The important word here is “like” — no one is claiming that they're electronic devices.) Using two transistor types and three relay strains of Pantoea agglomerans for a total of five functions, the team built circuits capable of addition, multi-input logic gates, and demultiplexing by c
20-Channel IC Delivers Data Center Thermal Measurement and Leak Sensing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Data centers have a long list of critical support requirements in addition to the ability to host a multitude of processors and link them together and to the outside world. Due to their apparently insatiable power needs and subsequent dissipation, it’s critical to monitor their temperature across numerous possible hotspots, as well as detect leaks in their liquid-cooling subsystem. Doing this can require a monitoring arrangement with numerous connection points for temperature sensors as well as
What are Strain-Tunable Thermal-Conductivity Applications? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I often read about fundamental developments in materials or devices that seem to be what’s derisively described as “a solution looking for a problem to solve.” After all, that’s what many journalists said about the optical laser when it was demonstrated at a press conference by physicist Theodore Maiman in 1960 — and we know how that turned out. It’s easy to be dismissive of these research developments, because they fall into the “huh?” category. At the same time, you never know which ones will
Mini Receiver Module Demodulates All Major IR Remote-Control Codes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The modern infrared remote control is an ideal case study for dramatic shifts in end-product implementation brought on by disruptive technologies and user expectations, culminating in a low-cost, easy-to-use, ubiquitous device and function (see image above). How so? The concept and implementation of the basic remote control just for TV isn’t new. It began in the 1950s with a hardwired link to initiate a stepper-like motor on the mechanical TV tuner to change channels (this was before our instant
