Multilingual blink for Raspberry Pi Pico

“A year ago today we launched our Raspberry Pi Pico board, the first product powered by the RP2040 microcontroller, a brand-new chip developed right here at Raspberry Pi. A year later we’ve sold nearly 1.5 million Picos, and …

New lightweight material is stronger than steel

“The new substance is the result of a feat thought to be impossible: polymerizing a material in two dimensions. Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light …

New Super-Conducting Technology Takes Data Beyond Zeroes And Ones

“Leveraging electron spin adds a new dimension to data encoding. Remember flip-phones? Our smartphones may one day look just as obsolete thanks to spintronics, an incipient field of research promising to revolutionize the way our electronic devices send and receive …

Novel printing process switches materials from black to transparent

“EPFL researchers have developed a new type of printing process that involves removing material rather than depositing it. Their method could be particularly useful for printing banknotes and ID documents, for example. “We’ve developed an entirely new printing process …

Panasonic Commercializes a Small Power Inductor of 4 mm by 4 mm Square for Automotive Use

“Panasonic Corporation announced today that its Industry Company has commercialized a small power inductor[1] (4 mm by 4 mm square) for automotive use that enables higher performance and downsizing of electronic control units (ECU) for advanced drive assistance systems …

Physicists manipulate magnetism with light

“Work has potential applications in memory storage and demonstrates a rare form of matter With the help of a “playground” they created for observing exotic physics, MIT scientists and colleagues have not only found a new way to manipulate magnetism …

Providing GPS-quality timing accuracy without GPS

“DARPA seeks to transition precision optical atomic clocks from laboratory to warfighter. Synchronizing time in modern warfare – down to billionths and trillionths of a second – is critical for mission success. High-tech missiles, sensors, aircraft, ships, and artillery all rely on …

Quantum leap on film

“An ultra-fast microscope combines atomic spatial and temporal resolution and thus enables unprecedented insights into the dynamics of electrons in molecules In order to better understand (and possibly control) fast chemical reactions, it is necessary to study the behaviour of …

Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)

“Over the past year, we’ve been trialling a beta of Raspberry Pi OS in glorious 64-bit. Now it’s time to open it up to a wider audience. The ARMv8-A architecture, which encompasses the 64-bit AArch64 architecture and associated …

Researchers set record by preserving quantum states for more than 5 seconds

“Breakthrough using common material could pave way for new quantum technologies. Quantum science holds promise for many technological applications, such as building hackerproof communication networks or quantum computers that could accelerate new drug discovery. These applications require a quantum version …
