Photochromic & Glow-in-the-Dark Clock

“This clock uses a custom built 4-digit 7-segment display made from UV LEDs. In front of the display a screen is placed that consists either of phosphorescent (“glow-in-the-dark”) or photochromic material. A push button on the top lights up the …

Popsicle Stick Robotic Arm

“Here’s how to build a simple robotic arm gripper using just popsicle sticks, an arduino, and a few servos. Supplies: Feel free to use similar materials or whatever you already have. (e.g. cut out cardboard instead of popsicle …

Portable Weather Station for Night Sky Observers

“Light pollution is one of many problems in world. For solve that problem, we need to know how much is night sky polluted with artificial light. Many students with teachers in world try to measure light pollution with expensive sensors …

Quantum sensor breakthrough using naturally occurring vibrations in artificial atoms

“A team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol, have discovered a new method that could be used to build quantum sensors with ultra-high precision. When individual atoms emit light, they do so in discrete packets called photons. When …

Research shows black plastics could create renewable energy

“Research from Swansea University has found how plastics commonly found in food packaging can be recycled to create new materials like wires for electricity – and could help to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the future. While a small …

Researchers build transistor-like gate for quantum information processing – with qudits

“Two-qudit gate on a photonic platform achieves massive entangled quantum state Quantum information processing promises to be much faster and more secure than what today’s supercomputers can achieve, but doesn’t exist yet because its building blocks, qubits, are …

Researchers Use Nano-Particles to Increase Power, Improve Eye Safety of Fiber Lasers

“Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory have devised a new process for using nano-particles to build powerful lasers that are more efficient and safer for your eyes. They’re doing it with what’s called “rare-earth-ion-doped fiber.” Put …

RGB Matrix Audio Visualizer with Arduino

“Make beautiful music with Adafruit, SparkFun, Arduino and ProtoStax! Create an RGB matrix audio visualizer with Arduino. In this article, I explain how to build an RGB LED matrix audio visualizer, using an Arduino, an RGB LED Matrix Shield, and …
