Etch a Selfie

“Motivation I’m planning to build my own home automation system with an ESP32 as the main microprocessor. So I was looking for a fun project to test it’s capabilities and to get to know it’s good and …

First-ever visualisations of electrical gating effects on electronic structure could lead to longer-lasting devices

“Electronic structure of a semiconductor device – how it behaves when voltage is applied – visualised for the first time Insights from the technique will help development of high performance electronics with low power consumption University of Warwick and University of Washington …

How to Capture Waste Heat Energy with Improved Polymers

“UMass Amherst chemists, electrical engineers identify new variable for material design By one official estimate, American manufacturing, transportation, residential and commercial consumers use only about 40 percent of the energy they draw on, wasting 60 percent. Very often, this wasted …

Improving Efficiency, Brightness of Perovskite LEDs

“Advances in organic phosphorescent materials are opening new opportunities for organic light-emitting diodes for combined electronics and light applications, including solar cells, photodiodes, optical fibers and lasers. While low-dimensional luminescent materials, like the calcium titanium oxide mineral perovskite, have promising …

Introducing Megapack: Utility-Scale Energy Storage

“Less than two years ago, Tesla built and installed the world’s largest lithium-ion battery in Hornsdale, South Australia, using Tesla Powerpack batteries. Since then, the facility saved nearly $40 million in its first year alone and helped to stabilize …

JumpMan Game Arduino HD44780 I2c

“JumpMan is very simple on Arduino. The game uses only two “jump” and “reset” buttons. The game uses a display HD44780 2x16 connected via i2c. In the game, we skip a man over the trees. The speed of the game …

Light Probe MK I

“The first prototype of any circuit doesn’t always work almost never works 100% like expected and therefore troubleshooting is an essential part of the engineering process. This usually involves taking measurements of the circuit and tweaking things as needed …

LightSail 2 Spacecraft Successfully Demonstrates Flight by Light

“Years of computer simulations. Countless ground tests. They’ve all led up to now. The Planetary Society’s crowdfunded LightSail 2 spacecraft is successfully raising its orbit solely on the power of sunlight. Since unfurling the spacecraft’s silver solar …
