As processor speeds increase and draw more power, thermal management becomes an increasingly important issue within all devices where microcontrollers are used. As thermal management becomes more ...

Infrared (IR) technology has been successfully used for years for ongoing temperature measurement and control. Now, new designs are boosting the accuracy, Infrared (IR) technology has been ...

Temperature is one of the most frequently measured physical quantities, and features prominently in many of our projects, from weather stations to 3D printers. Most commonly we’ll see thermistors, ...

Wearable devices are often exposed to environmental variables that can significantly impact temperature readings. A smartwatch sits on the wrist, where ambient air temperature, sunlight, and even wind ...

It’s the middle of winter, and you’re probably getting calls from homeowners who want larger HVAC equipment. Their current system runs constantly and can’t keep a few rooms warm and comfortable. When ...

Welcome to the first entry in the ‘Rarely Asked Questions” blog series. Measuring temperature with a single GPIO is the matter at hand that kicks it off. As the need for sensing capabilities becomes ...

Grilling a steak to the perfect medium-rare. Roasting a whole chicken without drying it out. Smoking a brisket low and slow until it’s melt-in-your-mouth tender. Whether you’re a home cook or backyard ...

Having full visibility into a composite and/or adhesive bondline during cure has been an issue for decades. Current temperature sensors — thermocouples — are too large to be embedded without causing a ...

Scientists have developed a new method for measuring temperature extremely accurately by using giant 'Rydberg' atoms. This atomic thermometer provides accurate measurements 'out of the box,' without ...

Plants respond very sensitive to temperature changes in their environment. At 22 degrees Celsius, for example, the model plant Arabidopsis shows compact growth. But if the temperature rises only a few ...
