How is a transition edge sensor used in astrophysics?
A transition edge sensor (TES) is a microcalorimeter based on superconductivity. Compared with alternative technologies like energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), a TES can provide higher resolution measurements and resolve emission lines at closely adjacent energies. In astrophysics, TES is used to measure the relative abundance of elements like boron, carbon, and oxygen versus silicon […]

How mmWaves affect cables, connectors, and PCB traces
Millimeter-wave signals used in 5G networks provide wide bandwidth and high data rates. Signal losses, both over the air and through interconnects, bring design challenges.
Round cable design suitable for drag chain applications from Helukabel
Helukabel announced they have enhanced their AS-Interface (ASi) bus cable offering by adding a round cable design suitable for use in drag chain applications. Traditionally, ASi bus cables are flat and deliver both power and transmit signals in applications such as building automation, process automation, factory automation, and transportation. However, when drag chain-rated ASi bus […]
When “it’s just engineering” leads to “ordering up” progress
It’s easy to imply “it’s easy” — when you don’t have to make it happen. Engineers of all disciplines have an image problem. It’s not that we are often regarded as “geeks” or “nerds” or that we are just not fun. Instead, the non-stop tsunami of successes and advances which engineers have made at an […]
USB 2.0 signal conditioner cuts power through a simplified design
Diodes Incorporated announces the introduction of the PI5USB212, a USB 2.0 signal conditioner that operates from a supply voltage down to 2.3V. Designed for use in notebooks, PCs, docking stations, cable extenders, TVs, and monitors, the PI5USB212 automatically detects a USB 2.0 high-speed connection.
