Spectrum Instrumentation has added driver support for the Nvidia Clara AGX computing architecture for AI medical instruments. This means that Spectrum’s digitiser boards (ADCs), arbitrary waveform generators (AWGs) and digital IO cards can be used with Clara AGX (right) for electronic signal acquisition and the generation of analogue and digital signals. “The Nvidia Clara AGX ...

Unidirectional superconductivity without a magnetic fields is possible, according to the technical university of Delft. The proof-of-concept uses a van der Waals heterostructure with 2D materials: NbSe2 – Nb3Br8 – NbSe2, and is superconducting on one direction, and normally-conducting in the other. Compared with the semiconductor diode, “superconductors never had an equivalent of this one-way idea ...

Diodes is claiming “the world’s smallest crystal oscillator family” for the 2 x 2.5mm UF252 series. These are LVPECL output devices which come in 2.5V and 3.3V supply versions all with low jitter to suit them to high performance equipment. Maximum (RMS) phase jitter can be as low as 0.07ps (3.3V, 156.25MHz, 12kHz-20MHz offset, 0.05ps typical) ...

Grade 42 commercial magnet performance (see graph) can be achieved with ~30% less neodymium than before, according to the Korea Institute of Materials Science. More of the less costly rare-earth cerium is the answer, but performing this substitution has been proving difficult. “In order to develop a neodymium-reduced permanent magnet, the content of cerium has ...
