Teardown, Repair & Experiments with the Anritsu 37347A 20GHz Vector Network Analyzer
In this episode Shahriar repairs an Anritsu 37347A 20GHz Two-Port Network Analyzer. The unit does not boot up and as a result its internal state is unknown. The boot fault is traced to a bad RTC module which has a built-in integrated battery. A replacement unit is located which allows...

Chemoelectronics: Nanoparticle Diodes and Devices That Work When Wet
Dexter Johnson has a writeup about flexible, water-loving logic circuits and sensors without the need of semiconductors. They constructed the chemoelectronic devices by coating gold nanoparticles with any of four types of organic molecules called ligands. Each ligand produces a...
