Temperature Controlled FAN using ATtiny10

“The electrons movement in electronic components lead to the generation of heat which when beyond certain thresholds, prevents some components from functioning properly and in others could lead to a catastrophic breakdown. For this reason, the topics of ventilation, overheating …

The Godot Machine

“What is a Godot Machine? It is part of the human experience that we can find ourselves in a state of waiting for something that might eventually happen after a long time of waiting, or not at all. The Godot …

The Race to Commercially-Viable Quantum Computing Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

“Recent Findings Should be Celebrated, but Practical Realities are the Real Test Quantum computing receives a lot of attention due to its potential to take on problems beyond the reach of today’s computers, such as new drug discovery, financial …

Tiny Reflow Controller with OLED display

“Last time we examined how to build a DIY Reflow Oven controller using the Tiny Reflow Oven Controller v1 by Rocket Stream. However, Rocket Stream recently released the Tiny Reflow Controller V2 and for today’s tutorial, we will attempt …

Creating Miracles with Polymeric Fibers

““Polymers are very, very useful materials when it comes to modern applications.” Mohan Edirisinghe leads a team of researchers at University College London studying the fabrication of polymeric nanofibers and microfibers — very thin fibers made up of polymers. The group …

Discovery of Ultrafast Particle Interactions Could Help Make Quantum Information Devices Feasible

“Energy is information. Lengthening the time during which a system is capable of retaining energy before losing it to the local environment is a key goal for the development of quantum information. This interval is called the “coherence time”. Several …
