One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...

Abstract: Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are highly sensitive to temperature which affects the performance, efficiency, and safety. Equivalent circuit modeling (ECM) is a simplified approach to ...

Abstract: Augmented measurements of temperature distributions and the movement of heat are possible with multichannel, bendable temperature sensor films. In this paper, a method for manufacturing a ...

The Orange Pi line of single-board computers include a wide range of models featuring Arm-based chips. But while most are designed to compete in the same entry-level space as Raspberry Pi hardware, ...

Qualcomm has acquired Arduino, maker of microcontrollers (and now single-board computers), in a move designed to boost its presence in edge computing, as evidenced by a new Arduino product based on ...
