“Researchers have identified a group of materials that could be used to make even higher power batteries. The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used materials with a complex crystalline structure and found that lithium ions move through them at …
“Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3-D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain deformation in certain selected areas on a two-dimensional structure, which in turn dictates the resulting 3-D …
“A polarimeter is an instrument often used in chemistry to determine the concentration or purity of specific substances, like sugars or organic acids. Basically a light beam is -linearly- polarized by passing through a polarizer (filter sheet, crystal, mirror) after …
“Print a file to a thermal printer when you push a button on your RasPi. Get creative! Story For my next project, I’m building a machine to simply print a bunch of files by pressing different buttons. We’re …
“Photovoltaic, Thermoelectric, Piezoelectric, Magnetic induction Energy scavenger Long lasting power is the greatest barrier to large scale use of information gathering sensor networks. Powering these devices from batteries drastically increases their installation and maintenance costs. Solution lies in giving them …
