Smart and Private Open Source Sensor Station

“The internet is full of tutorials on how to read digital and analog sensors, now it is time to do something useful with this data. Story While working very concentrated on projects (like this one) it happens quite often to …

Smoothing out the wrinkles in graphene

“Coating graphene with wax makes for a less contaminated surface during device manufacturing. To protect graphene from performance-impairing wrinkles and contaminants that mar its surface during device fabrication, MIT researchers have turned to an everyday material: wax. Graphene is an …

Snapshot technique helps scientists hear the quantum world

“When scientists examine very small and swift objects they see the laws of physics working wildly differently than in the everyday “normal-sized” world. Observing these counterintuitive happenings in larger objects has always been difficult, but University of Queensland physicists – part …

Solar Monitoring System Board

“Solar monitoring system measures voltage, current and power from panel, and from two outputs and voltage on battery. This board measure input voltage, current and power from two sources. Board have two outputs. Each have voltage, current and power measuring …

Supercomputers can spot cyber threats

“Identifying cybersecurity threats from raw internet data can be like locating a needle in a haystack. The amount of internet traffic data generated in a 48-hour period, for example, is too massive for oneor even 100 laptops to process into …

Sydney physicists use code to reduce quantum error in logic gates

“First time such codes applied to real quantum technology Scientists at the University of Sydney have for the first time demonstrated improvement in quantum computers by using codes designed to detect and discard errors in the logic gates of such …

The Random Anti-Laser

“The concept of the laser can be time-reversed: the perfect light source then becomes the perfect light absorber. Scientists at TU Wien have found a way to build such an anti-laser, based on random scattering. The laser is the perfect …

This solar panel is the first in the world to store both electricity and heat

“Moreover, researchers have succeeded in increasing its output dramatically by providing the panel with its own cooling system. All over the world people are moving to the cities. This increases the demand for eco-friendly and locally-sourced electricity, and is the …

Ultra-Light and Strong Drones Possible through New 3D Printing Innovation

“Mechanical Strength Improved by 1600% while Weight Reduced by 50% A collaborative team of researchers from Khalifa University, Kingston University, and the University of Liverpool have leveraged the unique capabilities of additive manufacturing – or 3-dimensional (3D) printing – to design ultra-strong …

VERBIS - Desktop 8x8 RGB LED Matrix Word Clock

“Motto: In Verbis Virtus…(There is power in words) There are many other Word Clock projects here on Instructables and elsewhere on the Internet so it is rather difficult to choose only one project as a source of inspiration because …
