The Army has been on a quest to make its bases more energy resilient for a long time. The latest answer, nuclear power. The service is about to ask vendors to submit proposals to install miniature nuclear power stations on nine bases. Officials want to test the feasibility of using them to power critical infrastructure on their installations, as Federal News Network's Jared Serbia reports, they're convinced the technology is ready.

This week's EYE ON NPI will help you breathe easier, with the smallest CO2 sensor we've ever seen: it's the Sensirion STCC4 Miniature CO2 Sensor (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/sensirion/stcc4-miniature-co2-sensor) Sensirion has always been our top choice for air quality sensing, and now they've got the tiniest sensor yet with ambient-air CO2 measurements. We've covered many Sensirion CO2 sensors before, and made breakouts for the most popular like the SCD-30 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SCD30/8445334) and SCD-40 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SCD40-D-R2/13684003). Sensirion has also made fully-integrated sensors like the SEN-66 which have an SCD sensor inside (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SEN66-SIN-T/25700945). There's also older eCO2 sensors like the SGP30 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SGP30-2-5K/7400966) which did 'effective' CO2 measurements by estimating based on organic gas concentrations. While CO2 measurements have always been important for keeping humans and animals happy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide#Human_physiology) - our bodies and brains don't like it when the CO2 concentration goes over ~2000 ppm - it was fairly uncommon to see CO2 monitors in homes or offices. That changed with Covid, because CO2 became a good stand-in for air circulation / clearance: outside air is around 400 ppm, so the closer the indoor air is to 400 ppm the better the circulation. For folks who need the most accurate CO2 sensing, we'd still point them to the SCD-30 NDIR as a gold-standard (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SCD30/8445334) but it has the side effect of requiring a lot of space and is not particularly low power. The SCD-40 improved on the size/power requirements, using acoustic sensing instead of infrared light. However, if you want something really small, for wearables or phones or portable sensing, we now have a new sensor! The Sensirion STCC4 Miniature CO2 Sensor (https://www.digikey.com/short/nn982w9w) is only 3mm x 4mm x 1.2mm and uses thermal conductivity of the ambient air to calculate CO2 concentration. This means it works only for 'natural ambient air' measurements that have a similar profile to outdoor/indoor air, it's not good for scientific measurement or extreme/outlier locations and situations. Like the SCD30 and '40 series, the STCC4 will auto-calibrate (https://www.digikey.com/short/nn982w9w) to account for drift. To do that, it must be exposed to outdoor air, with approximate 400 ppm CO2 concentration once a week. Once it has completed its initial startup calibration, it will give measurements with +-100ppm accuracy. Note that this is not as good as the SCD30's +-30ppm or the SCD40's +-50ppm as the tradeoff for the smaller size and price. It also works best with separate temperature + humidity calibration - they suggest the SHT4x series such as SHT40 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SHT40-AD1B-R3/14322709) or SHT41 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SHT41-AD1B-R3/15296592) which you can wire up to the peripheral I2C pins for automatic readings. We noted that although the specifications for the STCC4 imply you can use 5V power/logic, that doesn't apply to the SHT4x series so its better to just have everything run at 3.3V. Sensor readings happen over I2C, and if you've used other Sensirion products you're probably familiar with their 'Command / Response / CRC' style of messaging. Thankfully no clock stretching is used, although it will NAK if the message isn't handled during a read. Two I2C addresses are available thanks to an ADDR pin. And if you want to get started fast, there's a ready-written Arduino compatible library available on GitHub (https://github.com/Sensirion/arduino-i2c-stcc4) as well as Python and embedded C (https://github.com/Sensirion?q=stcc&type=all&language=&sort=). For fast plug-and-play integration, Sensirion has also released an eval board (https://www.digikey.com/short/qwn75j80) and we really like that they went with a simple low-cost Qwiic/Stemma QT design (https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt/what-is-stemma) with integrated SHT4x that you can use immediately with dev board that has a JST-SH compatible connector. If you want to integrate the smallest, lowest-cost CO2 sensor we've seen, from the experts at Sensirion, check out the Sensirion STCC4 Miniature CO2 Sensor (https://www.digikey.com/short/nn982w9w) - it's in stock right now for immediate shipment from DigiKey! Order the STCC4 sensor today and by tomorrow morning you'll be taking measurements of indoor CO2 with ready-to-go eval board and firmware example code.

INTERVIEW: Duncan Sarkies on 'Politics in Miniature' talk @Readers & Writers Fest by Zac Hoffman on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

The miniature painting hobby certainly has its fair share of tools, gadgets and gizmo's but do any of them have any other uses than what they were designed for?In episode 120 of Paint Perspective, we're here to shed the light on some secret uses for common hobby tools you've certainly got at your desk and explain why you might just be using them WRONG! Expect insights into:

Take a minute to get the scoop!Fun FactMozart's publisher worried that his Piano Quartet in G minor (1785) was too difficult for amateurs—the intended market for chamber music. Sales flopped at first, but the piece later became a cornerstone of the repertoire. It's a reminder that Mozart sometimes wrote not for popularity, but for pure artistry.About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.

When we meet Maple Bishop in the first book in her series, Death in the Details, she is reeling from a series of life-changing circumstances. Rural Vermont in 1946 doesn't have much use for a childless widow with limited means of support and even less interest in knitting, baking, and chitchat. Maple ruffles feathers, including those of Ginger Comstock, the leader of local female society in Elderberry, the very small town where Maple moved two years before with her doctor husband, Bill. That's another strike against her, in fact: Elderberry is the kind of town that accepts newcomers slowly, if ever. It doesn't help when Maple, who builds dollhouses to fill her empty days and decides to sell them to supplement her income, uncovers a murder. Even the local sheriff barely tolerates what he sees as her interference in an open-and-shut case. Fast forward a few months, and Maple's situation has improved—a little. In Murder in Miniature (Crooked Lane Books, 2025), she's still something of a social outcast, but her dollhouses have acquired a new purpose and she has a few more friends in town. Even the crotchety sheriff has developed respect for her abilities. So when a cabin fire on the outskirts of town creates an opening for Maple's particular gift for re-creating a crime scene, he doesn't hesitate to ask for her help. Neither of them could have predicted that this case will bring them into contact not only with big city criminals but also with a mystery from Maple's past.  Katie Tietjen—an award-winning writer, teacher, and school librarian—lives in New England with her husband and two sons. Murder in Miniature is the second book in the Maple Bishop series, following Death in the Details, which came out in 2024. C. P. Lesley is the author of two historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible and four other novels. Her latest book, Song of the Steadfast, appeared in 2025.

David Gilliver is multi-talented, sharing his creativity as a light painter and miniature artist. His works are both entertaining and thought-provoking in both their composition and subject matter.To create light paintings, he uses long-exposure photography techniques under the darkness of night. And his ‘Little People' and ‘Toys' macro photography series depict captivating scenes using miniature people and items to tell stories and offer social commentaries.He has been recognized with awards at the British Photography Awards and earned a degree in Fine Art Photography from the Glasgow School of Art. He also shares his knowledge through workshops and e-books so other people can join in the fun too.On this episode, host Angela de Burger chats with David about his techniques for creating amazing designs in his light paintings, why he loves small scale storytelling, whether his creative process begins with a visual concept or a message he wants to share, and how he balances being so active in two different creative specialties.

Is this hobby the one remaining place we can still escape from digital technology and leave the phones, tablets, etc at the door? Or, are there benefits to be had by implementing certain tech to run "hybrid" style gaming experiences? That's just one of the topics we touch on in this episode of the Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast.This time around, we're joined by Robey Jenkins of Precinct Omega. Robey is the creator of the Horizon Wars games series, as well as the Precinct Omega News & Game Design Podcast. You can find his games (as well as a whole trove of others) on Wargame Vault.We talk about storytelling, and worldbuilding in miniature agnostic games, referencing some of our own favourites like Open Combat, Song of Blades & Heroes, and Rogue Planet. Does providing a universe or setting limit players, or does it help them to build their forces and play out more meaningful encounters?We couldn't have a chat with Robey without dipping into game mechanics. What are some of the most innovative ones he's come across? What are the mechanics he's most proud of creating himself? Are there only so many different variations of miniature wargame rules out there? And while we're at it, what makes a hobbyist gamer want to start writing their own rules in the first place anyway?Robey also offers his thoughts on how he'd go about adapting a popular miniature game into a solo or co-op ruleset, and whether or not you could make a "tiny" game with only two minis.No conversation on this podcast would be complete without touching on Games Workshop, either. Does GW have more or less of an influence and hold over this industry than it did, say, 25 years ago?

The world's first model village, Bekonscot in Buckinghamshire, had its initial public open day on 4th August, 1929. Begun as a personal project of accountant Roland Callingham, the attraction continues to capture the hearts of visitors with its intricate details and nostalgic charm. Callingham, a model railway enthusiast, created Bekonscot in his back garden; constructing an entire town to serve his model trains, featuring multiple stations, a butcher, baker, and circus big top. Initially created for private enjoyment, it was officially opened to the public by Princess Elizabeth in 1934, and was modified during World War II to feature tiny air raid wardens and wartime street scenes. Since the 90s, it has been architecturally preserved in its 1930s heyday. This episode first aired in 2024 Love the show? Support us!  Join

This week, with the new DCU relaunched under the watchful eye of James Gunn, we take it all the way back to not just the dawn of DC Comics on the silver screen, but what is really the grand daddy of all superhero films period. It's 1978's Superman, directed by Richard Donner, and starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, Marlon Brando, Ned Beatty, Jackie Cooper, Glenn Ford, Phyllis Thaxter and Valerie Perrine. It is the homework that countless films over the years have copied off of, and combine that with its vintage 70s special effects and a rather tumultuous production, does it still hold up all these years later? You'll have to listen for our thoughts on a movie surprisingly neither host had ever seen in full. Plus: J Mo's got theatrical field reports on Jurassic World Rebirth and Materialists, and Hayley's hyper-fixating on home makeover TV. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to our discussion, Superman is currently streaming on HBO Max in the US and Crave here in Canada at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning, Friendship, Heart Eyes, The Day The Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, La La Land, Christine, Rock The Block, Battle on the Beach, Renovation Resort, and Best in Miniature. We'll be back... possibly as soon as next week? Who knows! Talking about who knows what film. And until then we'll see you at the movies!!

The family of seabirds called alcids is an eclectic bunch that includes puffins and murres. The largest alcids are about the size of a duck, but the smallest — called the Least Auklet — could fit in the palm of your hand. With their short wings whirring, these miniature seabirds look like swarms of feathered bumblebees as they forage for tiny crustaceans on the ocean's surface. Least Auklets form massive breeding colonies on rocky islands of the north Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. In August, when the young birds are ready to take their first flight, millions of auklets scatter to the winds across the northern seas.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?

This week's EYE ON NPI is going to keep an eye on the hot summer temperatures - it's Melexis' MLX90632 Miniature Far Infrared (FIR) Sensors (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/m/melexis/mlx90632-miniature-far-infared-fir-sensors) a series of low cost, high performance, ultra tiny IR temperature sensors with medical grade accuracy! The MLX90632 comes from Melexis (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) whose expertise is IR temperature sensors. We've been using their sensors like the MLX90614 (https://www.digikey.com/short/b990pn8w) for over a decade! These sensors are specifically good for sensing the temperature of something that they are not touching. There's lots of reasons to use this, for example when something is really hot, so you don't want your circuit to reach the same temperature which would degrade or damage it. Or for sanitation: unlike in-ear or oral temperature sensing, you can point this at someone's head or mouth to measure their temperature without ickyness. Or maybe you're measuring something that is far away or hard to attach a thermocouple to, for example to measure the temperature of a leaf for calculating the Vapor Pressure Deficit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour-pressure_deficit). For 'single point' measurement, we've used the MLX90614 (https://www.digikey.com/short/b990pn8w), they've also got the MLX90640 (https://www.digikey.com/short/8pf5zrq8) which is more like a camera, with 32x24 pixel IR camera support. Both are way cheaper than a full FLIR camera module, and we love the I2C interface which makes it easy to interface with any microcontroller or microcomputer. However, what we really wanted is something more affordable and hopefully even surface-mount-friendly. After a bit of searching this week we bumped into the MLX90632 (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) which has everything we've wanted! First up, unlike the other IR sensors we've used, the MLX90632 (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) is compact and surface mountable - that makes assembly fast and easy without hand soldering and lead-clipping. Second, it's got an I2C interface so we don't have to do any analog noodling to convert a current to temperature. It's also pre-calibrated so you can use it right 'out of the box' like classic non-IR temperature sensors. There's versions for both 3.3V or 1.8V power/logic, so you can pop it into your circuit with ease. And if you're using for human/animal temperature monitoring, the medical-grade version is factory calibrated with an accuracy of ±0.2˚C within the narrow object temperature range from 35 to 42˚C. Note that both 'standard' and 'medical' grade have different accuracy zones, and as you get to the extremes from 25C, the accuracy in C will rise to +-4C: its a trade-off between range and accuracy. Just note that you need to tell the sensor which mode you want to be in, over I2C Speaking of - this sensor is I2C compatible! So it's easy to interface this using C, Arduino, Python, etc. Check out the register map in the datasheet - you will need to read the pre-programmed calibration constants in order to convert readings to ambient/remote temperatures. There's also built in EEPROM that you can program with offsets or to change the I2C peripheral address, handy if you have device-specific settings that you want to tie to the individual sensor for custom calibration. To make it easier to get going, check out the Melexis C library on github (https://github.com/melexis/mlx90632-library) If you think the MLX90632 (https://www.digikey.com/short/zvzvp01b) is hot-to-trot, then you are in luck because there's tons in stock at DigiKey right now, available for immediate shipment! Order today and you'll get this tiny IR sensor for your own by tomorrow afternoon so you can start getting precision remote temperature sensing added to your design in a jiffy.

There's no doubt that Trench crusade is the most hyped game in the wargaming / miniature painting hobby right now, so it's about time that we take a closer look... In this sponsored episode, James talks us through his experience with painting grimdark miniatures for the game, how surprised we were by the quality of these 3D printed miniatures, how to paint these models incredibly fast, and much more! Expect insights into:

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot kick off Episode 338 with a chaotic Father's Day recap involving mini-golf madness, stroller gridlock, and a player with a walker clogging the first tee. Hotshot goes MIA for eight hours and doesn't even play. Mitch follows with two public floggings: one for crediting “The Twist” to Fats Domino, the other for dusting off a 2013 John Olerud story like it was breaking news. His fastball? Missing. Hotshot? Happy to point that out. Dave Grosby returns to talk about his health battles, a rough ketamine treatment, and the overlooked value of opioids for pain relief. He still finds time to make a bold Mariners playoff case. Brady Henderson checks in from Seahawks camp to explain why Mike Macdonald's version of Seattle looks more united and less ego-driven. He breaks down Sam Darnold's grip on QB1, the Jalen Milroe development arc, and why 2024 already feels different. Finally, Brady Farkas flies solo at the Mariners No-Table. Seattle sweeps Cleveland, JP Crawford stays hot, and Julio keeps hitting — but not with much muscle. They break down rotation depth, bullpen leaks, and trade bait like Gino Suarez and Josh Naylor. The playoff math is still murky, but the hunt continues.   GUESTS Dave Grosby | Former Seattle Radio Host Brady Henderson | ESPN Seahawks Insider Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose Podcast   TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Miniature golf debacle on Father's Day.

Then shifts into Mariners mode with playoff predictions and trade speculation. 1:02:40 | Guest: Brady Henderson, Insight from Seahawks OTAs and minicamps. Brady explains the cultural shift under Mike Macdonald and evaluates the team's offseason vibe, quarterback depth, and drama-free roster. 1:30:26 | Guest: Mariners No-Table with Brady Farkas, A Cleveland sweep breathes life into the Mariners' season. JP Crawford is on fire, the bullpen looks steadier, but Julio's big-hit drought continues.

Join me for a 4 hour gravel ride with aerobars on a singlespeed in Texas! Show Notes: History of and how to best enjoy one of these "ride along" shows. Assioma power pedals How gravel tires open up more paved but sketchy connector roads Sharrows! Reading off power and cadence while climbing. Dropping into Lick Creek Park with heavy gravel Garmin Forerunner 970 killer features review Ribbon Snakes and Green Snakes Thank you Lachlan Morton for making pink jerseys cool. Coasting more on longer rides will actually make you go faster in the end. How ranchers turn flatbed railroad cars into small bridges. Riding upright when super hot might overall be faster than low and aero due to the cooling. Rock Bros arm coolers are interesting - solid on one side and mesh on the other. For sun block / cooling. Fueling trick - clear bottles so you can see how much you've used to help stay on track. Meshy stuff WAY better in hot conditions. Dramatic cooling effect compared to classic cycling kit. Garmin 970 added rucking, sapphire glass, flashlight, speaker and microphone, but no voice notes... Fenix is overkill for most people, and that adds weight and makes it a poor running watch. Front-facing collision warning radar would be cool device since you can hit a car with your head down. Story how I was friends with the inventor of Morf-tech bars and he died from a crash like that. Interesting nuance of singlespeeding - sometimes faster on long rides by capping effort on flats and downhills? "Unhurried" vs. "Slow Living". Difference is intention and middle pathing. Getting water from country gas station. Cool soundscape. Surrounded by Roadies. Drifting in gravel turns is FUN. Uhurried more like Taoism "Flow" than Slow Living is. Miniature compass on handlebars end up being better than I thought! Use to better work with wind and navigation, no batteries. How I'm using my Garmin 945 watch to send HR to my bike computer. People are regressing in response to constant news agitation. Need more calm. Do you reeeeaaaally need a smart watch? "Unhurried" co-opted by Christian movement? Religion vs. Philosophy in Communism. Nishiki is 90s aluminum. Rear end is stiff like a jackhammer. Taking a heat break in a cornfield. How red-shouldered blackbirds are territorial and dive bomb you. How I got the nickname “Cool Breeze”. What different formats work best for Instagram, YouTube, and podcasts. Pausing to do things right when being unhurried instead of putting things off for later because you are in a rush. Trimming workouts down in time if tired instead of just going easier. Set an end time for your workouts - more important than a start time. You want to be extremely relaxed in aero position. Why flat terrain wears you out more than rolling. Singlespeed flatbar gravel bike is oddly like 80s BMX bikes. The truth about drinking from the hose and not being let in the house. How we get rolling hills with steep gully walls. How to "row" your bike up steep hills. Trick to keep your water bladder in the freezer to stop mold and also have ice water on your hot rides. More on "time capping" to give you more free time. The coolest thing about gravel isn't the gravel, it's the lack of cars. Rear radar apps on your phone will play the alerts through your headphones too. Get the swimming version of Shokz headphones if you want them to be truly sweatproof. Signs of nerve damage in feet. How I got the nickname "Cool Breeze". Cooling down under a freeway bridge. 91 degrees in the shade. Using cold soda to cool down faster from the inside out. Fueling 300 calories per hour using table sugar and a little bit of Gatorade powder and sodium citrate. Zen story of being unhurried to become enlightened. Hitting singletrack and pipeline road. Signs you're trying to do too much. The "shoot first, point later" concept of videoing your rides with an Insta360 camera. Lionel Sanders won a 70.3 Ride stats - 97 degrees, 63 miles, 4 hours and 11 minutes. Wrap up and family news!

Join Ellen & special guest, evolutionary biologist and herpetologist Dr. Mark D. Scherz, for a look through the magnifying glass at miniaturized animals. Our guest studies species who have shrunk down to incredibly small sizes, like frogs and chameleons who could gather on the tip of your finger, and he has some fascinating insights into why and how animals get so darn itty bitty and what could be stopping them from getting any itty bittier. We discuss silliness in scientific names, assuming a spherical frog in a vacuum, chameleons called B. nana, whether jawbones spark joy, how many brain cells you really even need anyway, and so much more.Links:Learn more about Mark and his work on his website: http://www.markscherz.com/Check out Mark's podcast, SquaMates: http://squamatespod.com/Follow Mark on Tumblr: https://markscherz.tumblr.com/Follow Mark on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/markscherz.bsky.socialFor more information about us & our podcast, head over to our website!Follow Just the Zoo of Us on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram & Discord!Follow Ellen on BlueSky!
