Portable Magnetometer

“A magnetometer, sometimes also called Gaussmeter, measures the strength of the magnetic field. It is an essential tool to test the strength of permanent magnets and electromagnets and to understand the field shape of nontrivial magnet configurations. If it is …

Quantum computing: Opening new realms of possibilities

“Hidden beneath our everyday world — on the infinitesimal scale of atomic and subatomic particles — is a strange and elusive realm. It is a Lewis Carroll-like place where ghostly particles pop in and out of existence, swirling electrons occupy two positions …

Quantum experiments explore power of light for communications, computing

“A team from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted a series of experiments to gain a better understanding of quantum mechanics and pursue advances in quantum networking and quantum computing, which could lead to practical …

Reformer: The Efficient Transformer

“Understanding sequential data — such as language, music or videos — is a challenging task, especially when there is dependence on extensive surrounding context. For example, if a person or an object disappears from view in a video only to re-appear much …

Researchers expand microchip capability with new 3D inductor technology

“Smaller is better when it comes to microchips, researchers said, and by using 3D components on a standardized 2D microchip manufacturing platform, developers can use up to 100 times less chip space. A team of engineers has boosted the performance …

RFID Smart Door Lock With ESP8266

“In this video I am going to show you how to build your own access control system with RFID and Arduino + Cloud logging of attendance. It is a very good project for IoT beginners and enthusiasts, hope you like it …

Self Balancing Robot - PID Control Algorithm

“I undertook this project because I wanted to learn more about Control Algorithms and how to effectively implement a PID control loop. The project is still in the development phase as a bluetooth module is yet to be added which …

Simple VU-Meter Circuit

“I put together this Voltage Unit (VU) meter using LEDs on a breadboard the other day. It only has 4 LEDs, but can easily be expanded to more It’s basically a simple display for showing a value. It’s …

Skeet Shooting Game

“An electronic skeet shooting game with 9 levels of play. It includes features such as score and shot count. This electronic skeet shoot game was inspired by a similar version by masonhorder. LED bar graph displays are used instead of …

Sols 2649-2652: Curiosity Loses Its Attitude

“Knowing where our bodies are helps us move through the world. We know if we are standing or sitting, if our arms are out or by our sides (or for some people, not there at all). This body awareness is …
