<p><strong>A Temperature-Sensing Magnetic Stir Bar</strong></p>

<p>Magnetic stirrers are a standard feature in many science labs, they save manual stirring and also ensure that this is undertaken at a consistent speed.</p>

<p>This <a href="https://hackaday.com/2023/04/20/a-temperature-sensing-magnetic-stir-bar/" rel="nofollow">project from hackaday</a> takes the tech one step further,  by creating a custom stir bar,  these hackers have added sensors, so data such as temperature can be monitored during experiments.</p>

<p>Sounds really cool, there is a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh1SIfipQs4" rel="nofollow">video here</a> explaining how everything works.</p>
