4D-Printed Materials Can Be Stiff as Wood or Soft as Sponge

“Rutgers engineers’ unique smart materials change shape as temperatures change Imagine smart materials that can morph from being stiff as wood to as soft as a sponge – and also change shape. Rutgers University–New Brunswick engineers have created flexible, lightweight …

A new spin on organic semiconductors

“Researchers have found that certain organic semiconducting materials can transport spin faster than they conduct charge, a phenomenon which could eventually power faster, more energy-efficient computers. Organic semiconductors have not been realistic candidates for spintronics so far because it was …

A rubber computer eliminates the last hard components from soft robots

“Soft digital logic emulates the thought process of an electronic computer and the feel of a human hand A soft robot, attached to a balloon and submerged in a transparent column of water, dives and surfaces, then dives and surfaces …

Arduino Word Clock on 8x8 RGB LED Matrix

“This is probably the best project that can be done with this module. Some time ago, I ordered from eBay: “Full-color RGB 8x8 LED+Colorful Magic Matrix Driver shield Colorduino KIT DIY” which is also known as “Funduino,” consists of …

Audio Hacking on the ESP8266

“Building synthesizers on the ESP8266. The ESP8266 is quite powerful for audio applications with a CPU frequency of 160MHz and 4MB flash. The goal for this tutorial is to build synthesizers on the ESP8266 platform so we will also go …

Automatic Fume Extractor

“Hack a cheap smoke detector to automatically extract smoke, carbon monoxide and solder fumes! Introduction I’m currently doing a lot of PCB assembly in work and I find the soldering fumes irritate my eyes and lungs.Using a cheap …
