As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

Throughout the world, the diagnosis and treatment of systemic disease present major health challenges. While solutions vary, experts worldwide agree that early detection is key to improving outcomes.

Consider a neural implant dubbed the Microscale Optoelectronic Tetherless Electrode, or MOTE, developed at Cornell University ...

A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based encoder, the Shaft-Tracker from Computer Conversions Corp. can replace less reliable optical shaft encoders. The device provides both incremental and true ...

Unlike almost every other kind of microscope, atomic-force microscopes (AFMs) don’t use any kind of optical beam to image ...

Optical materials and structures are substances used to manipulate the flow of light. This can include reflecting, absorbing, focusing or splitting an optical beam. The efficiency of a specific ...

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as versatile ...

Using microscopic ‘tweezers’ to grab and isolate strontium atoms to improve the element’s efficacy for quantum computing.
