The MagPI 85

“Can you do everything with a $55 computer? We’ve been pretty confident about using Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB RAM as our main desktop PC. This month we put it to the test, by getting one of our best …

Project  TipTap

TipTap

“A 3d-printed bipedal robot.A desktop option for semi-direct drive walking research. By keeping things small I aim to create a sub $500 walking robot that can be used to test out control algorithms and simulation fidelity using semi-direct drive …

World’s First Quantum Computing Safe Tape Drive

“Ten months ago we assembled a team from IBM Research in Switzerland and IBM tape developers based in Tucson, Arizona, to try to build something which has never been built before to address a risk that may not materialize for …

3D printing of silicone components

“ETH spin-off Spectroplast has developed a method to make silicone products using a 3D printer. The young company now plans to bring to market customised medical products such as hearing aids, breast prosthesis for breast cancer patients and eventually even …

4-Stroke Digital Clock With Arduino

“This digital clock driven by Arduino is a fun emulator of 4-stroke engine where the digits of hours & minutes represent the pistons moving. The “4-Stroke Digital Clock” driven by Arduino is a fun emulator of an internal combustion engine in …

A battery-free sensor for underwater exploration

“Submerged system uses the vibration of “piezoelectric” materials to generate power and send and receive data. To investigate the vastly unexplored oceans covering most our planet, researchers aim to build a submerged network of interconnected sensors that send data to …

A laser for penetrating waves

“Research team develops a new principle to generate terahertz radiation The “Landau-level laser” is an exciting concept for an unusual radiation source. It has the potential to efficiently generate so-called terahertz waves, which can be used to penetrate materials as …

A single-photon source you can make at home

“Shining light through household bleach creates fluorescent quantum defects in carbon nanotubes for quantum computing and biomedical imaging. Quantum computing and quantum cryptography are expected to give much higher capabilities than their classical counterparts. For example, the computation power in …

AI Startup Cerebras Develops The Most Powerful Processor In The World

“With a plethora of semiconductor start-ups, semiconductor companies, universities, government agencies, and even device and system OEMs working on chips for artificial intelligence (AI), it’s hard to stand out from the crowd. However, a start-up called Cerebras has managed …

Arduino Bluetooth RC Car

“This is our new Bluetooth RC car - based on our favorite Arduino UNO! In this project as you can see we used a custom-made PCB board and the ATmega328p micro controller. The board is specially design for this project and …
