MicroscoPy

“An open-source MICROSCOPE built using LEGO bricks, 3D-printing, Arduino and Raspberry Pi Key Features - Fully motorized: Camera angle, sample position, magnification and focus can be adjusted precisely using six stepper motors. - Modular: Stages and modules can be arranged in any …

Modular Desk Organiser

“If you’re like me, working/studying from home has taken a toll on the organisation of your desk. Because I’m using it so often, I don’t bother putting my notebooks, pens, paper and other random items away …

“Nice fitting on top without wiring.”

New AI Enables Teachers To Rapidly Develop Intelligent Tutoring Systems

“Intelligent tutoring systems have been shown to be effective in helping to teach certain subjects, such as algebra or grammar, but creating these computerized systems is difficult and laborious. Now, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown they can rapidly …

New Princeton study takes superconductivity to the edge

“A discovery that long eluded physicists has been detected in a laboratory at Princeton. A team of physicists detected superconducting currents — the flow of electrons without wasting energy — along the exterior edge of a superconducting material. The finding was published …

New study reveals unexpected softness of bilayer graphene

“In the study, published in the journal Physical Review B, the researchers showed that bilayer graphene, consisting of two layers of graphene, was noticeably softer than both two-dimensional (2D) graphene and three-dimensional (3D) graphite along the stacking direction. This surprising …

New Ultrafast Camera Takes 70 Trillion Pictures Per Second

“Just about everyone has had the experience of blinking while having their picture taken. The camera clicks, your eyes shut, and by the time they open again, the photo is ruined. A new ultrafast camera developed at Caltech, were it …

Pix-a-Sketch - A Virtual Etch-a-Sketch on an LED Matrix

“Use two rotary encoders to draw whatever picture your heart desires, and then shake it to erase the image — just like the real thing! This project was created as a throwback to a much simpler toy, the Etch-a-Sketch, but instead …

Plasma electrons can be used to produce metallic films

“Computers, mobile phones and all other electronic devices contain thousands of transistors, linked together by thin films of metal. Scientists at LiU have developed a method that can use the electrons in a plasma to produce these films. The processors …

Print your own laboratory-grade microscope for £15

“For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to an open-source design created at Bath. For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes to analyse …
