Cryogenics and connecting the cold bits

Cryogenics can be defined simply as ‘The branch of physics dealing with the production and effects of very low temperatures’.

What are the battery challenges in test and instrumentation equipment?

Measurement is a fundamental requirement of scientific and engineering disciplines. Without precise measurements as a basis, all future work is doomed to inaccuracy or ineffectuality.

Keep electronic projects secure & weatherproof with the right enclosures

For many designers of DIY or prototype projects, once the electronics are laid out, finding a suitable enclosure is often left to the last minute. This may be reasonable if it’s going to be used indoors on a desk or placed on a wall, temporarily. But if the project is intended for use outdoors over long periods, it will quickly succumb to the elements or be damaged, either intentionally or unintentionally, by malicious tampering or idle curiosity.
