NASA Visualization Shows a Black Hole’s Warped World

“This new visualization of a black hole illustrates how its gravity distorts our view, warping its surroundings as if seen in a carnival mirror. The visualization simulates the appearance of a black hole where infalling matter has collected into a …

One Giant Leap for Lunar Landing Navigation

“When Apollo 11’s lunar module, Eagle, landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, it first flew over an area littered with boulders before touching down at the Sea of Tranquility. The site had been selected based on photos …

Persistence of Vision Fidget Spinner

“POV Fidget spinner which uses Enhanced PIC16 AngularTimer peripheral, Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2 link, LabVIEW PC application, touch button… This is a fidget spinner which uses Persistence of Vision effect which is an optical illusion whereby multiple discrete images …

Physicists mash quantum and gravity and find time, but not as we know it

“A University of Queensland-led international team of researchers say they have discovered “a new kind of quantum time order”. UQ physicist Dr Magdalena Zych said the discovery arose from an experiment the team designed to bring together elements of the …

Play Tic-Tac-Toe on Your TV Screen - with a SIM900 Twist

“Like playing tic-tac-toe, just call your Arduino and play. It’s been a while that I wanted to build a basic mobile device/phone with Arduino and SIM900. I finally got the time to play with it, and after few …

Pushbutton LED Matrix

“This project can be thought of as another introductory Arduino project that is slightly more advanced than your typical ‘blinking an LED’ project. This project incorporates an LED matrix, pushbuttons, shift registers (which can save pins on your Arduino board …

Quantum destabilization of a water sandwich

“When a thin layer of water is squeezed between two hydrophobic surfaces, the laws of classical physics break down. From raindrops rolling off the waxy surface of a waterlily leaf, to the efficiency of desalination membranes, interactions between water molecules …

Quantum sensing on a chip

“Researchers integrate diamond-based sensing components onto a chip to enable low-cost, high-performance quantum hardware. MIT researchers have, for the first time, fabricated a diamond-based quantum sensor on a silicon chip. The advance could pave the way toward low-cost, scalable hardware …

Researchers can now place single ions into solids

“New technique enables implantation of individual ions into crystals with an accuracy of 35 nanometers Modern electronics is based on doped semiconductors. To synthesize electronic components, dopant atoms such as aluminum or phosphorus are embedded into crystals of ultrapure silicon …
