Recently, both Zoyi and Fnirsi have released affordable smart tweezers that also measure inductance, and for just a few dozen euros. In this review, I explore what the Fnirsi LCR-ST1 can do for such a ...

Another way is building 3D chips, which squeeze more transistors into the same area without making transistors smaller. Kim’s team did both, building a 3D chip out of vertically stacked 2D ...

The parts back then were bigger, of course, but often just as inscrutable as the SMD parts that populate boards today. And the one part that always baffled us back in the days of transistor radios ...

One team of professionals providing space, missile defense, and high altitude forces and capabilities to support joint warfighting readiness in all domains. Against all adversaries and enemies ...

Unfortunately, that’s where things got tricky. I quickly found that none of the major players actually had the SMD version of the chip in stock. Both DigiKey and Mouser said they didn’t expect ...
