Potomac is headed to the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas! We’re excited to be part of Eureka Park at CES, a specialized tech zone within The Venetian Hotel. Presented in partnership with the National Science Foundation and Startup America, we were given the opportunity to participate through our NSF SBIR Phase II work on miniaturized micro-wireless sensors.
At the show we’ll be unveiling the new Potomac Arduino. Shown in this photo next to a penny, we believe it’s the world’s smallest Arduino. We’ve been able to miniaturize the cool programmable devices using technology developed under our National Science Foundation grant. The new micro-sized open source Potomac Arduino microcontroller operates with the same programming code and I/O capabilities as its larger cousins, but occupies only a small fraction of the volume.

Animal testing has long been an established protocol in drug discovery programs. But there are systemic issues with the far from reliable methodology. In fact, only 10% of the drugs that move from animal testing to human clinical trials succeeds. Such low yields increase the time and expense required to get pharmaceuticals to market, fueling…
In the field of microfluidics, where precision is key to innovation and application success, our expertise at Potomac Photonics sets a standard. We specialize in the art of laser drilling precise small holes in glass slides and coverslips, a critical capability for the fabrication of microfluidic devices. These devices play a pivotal role in various…
The world today seems consumed with fears about Artificial Intelligence, otherwise known as AI. Writers, journalists, ad copywriters, teachers, and artists are fearful their jobs will be lost to computers but in manufacturing we have been applying a subset of AI to manufacturing for decades with positive results. Like other forms of AI, Machine Learning…
