BluePump

“Monitor the phase shift between current and voltage to stop a pump when there is not enough water. For pool filtering. Monitor the phase shift between current and voltage to stop a pump when there is not enough water. In …

Bosch extends the service life of electric-vehicle batteries

“Stress makes cells age faster. Something that geneticists have long since demonstrated for the human body is also true for electric-vehicle battery cells. The older the batteries get, the lower their performance and capacity, and the shorter the range of …

Cardiff in world-beating CS breakthrough

“Cardiff University researchers have developed world-leading Compound Semiconductor (CS) technology that can drive future high-speed data communications. A team from the Institute for Compound Semiconductors (ICS) worked with collaborators to innovate an ultrafast and highly sensitive ‘avalanche photodiode’ (APD) that …

CircuitPython Turtle Graphics

“You may have heard of, or even played around with, turtle graphics. Simply put, this is a metaphor for drawing vector images where you control a turtle that can drag a pen along with it. Commands to the turtle include …

Color Instrument

“This a simple Arduino/3D printing project about colors and sounds. I made this device or as I call it color instrument for activity for kids. Its fun and its a good conversation starter about physics of colors and sound …

Development of 3D Electrochemical Model to Improve Battery Energy Density and Efficiency of Electric Vehicles

“A model that can have a 3D observation of micrometer-sized particles in a cell has been developed. Through the analysis and research of micrometer-sized particles in a cell, this model is expected to enhance energy efficiency of cells. DGIST announced …

‘Digital alchemy’ to reverse-engineer new materials

“In work that upends materials design, researchers have demonstrated with computer simulations that they can design a crystal and work backward to the particle shape that will self-assemble to create it. It could lead to a new class of materials …

Easy 3D Printed Objects in One Hour

“A while ago I gave a 3D printer demonstration at a primary school. I used a small Up Plus 2 printer which always works fine. This isn’t the fastest 3D printer, and It took about 40 minutes to print …

Enriching solid-state batteries

“MIT researchers demonstrate a method to make a smaller, safer, and faster lithium-rich ceramic electrolyte. Researchers at MIT have come up with a new pulsed laser deposition technique to make thinner lithium electrolytes using less heat, promising faster charging and …

Escape Room Decoder Box

“Escape Rooms are awesomely fun activities which are highly engaging and great for teamwork. Have you ever thought about creating your own Escape Room? Well with this decoder box you can be well on your way! Even better have you …
