The natural resources around us represent the basis for all human activity on Earth. We use these resources to produce food, clean drinking water, clothes, electrical energy, and everything else we need to survive. But these resources are limited.
The popularity of wearable electronics has induced demand for their parts, including power sources such as triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). Such power sources must be both stretchy and high-performance, holding up under various deformation conditions over hours of use.
The silkscreen is a layer on the surface of a PCB that is used to identify a lot of information about the electronic printed circuit board.
An instrumentation amplifier is a precision differential amplifier designed to amplify small voltage differences. This guide explains the three-op-amp architecture, and how to choose between INA128, AD620, LT1167, and a standard difference amplifier for sensor front-ends.

Vias are small holes in a PCB that enable electrical connections between different layers of the board. In the context of PCB design, via tenting refers to the process of covering the vias with a protective layer, typically a solder mask or dry film. This protective layer shields the vias from environmental factors, such as dust, moisture, and chemicals, which can lead to corrosion or short circuits. As PCB technology continues to advance, the importance of via tenting in maintaining the performance and reliability of complex, high-density interconnect (HDI) and flexible PCB designs cannot be overstated. This guide explores the art and science of via tenting, shedding light on its significance, techniques, and applications in modern PCB design and manufacturing.
Researchers from ITMO University have come up with a new kind of wireless chargers – boxes with a uniformly distributed magnetic field inside them. Placing a device anywhere in the box will charge it, which makes the new technology stand out from its competitors, which can only ensure power transfer across short distances.
