Arduino - Web Pattern Unlock

“It’s a security feature for Arduino. User is required to input the unlock pattern before remotely controlling/monitoring Arduino. Introduction You may be familiar with the unlock pattern when you access your phone. Now this feature is available on …

Atomically thin nanowires convert heat to electricity more efficiently

“Heat can be converted to electricity more efficiently using nanowires as thin as atoms, according to new University of Warwick research Atomically thin nanowires conduct less heat and more electricity at the same time, yielding unprecedented conversion efficiency in comparison …

Breakthrough in controlling DNA-based robots

“Researchers use magnets to move tiny nano-devices faster than ever before Researchers have devised a magnetic control system to make tiny DNA-based robots move on demand—and much faster than recently possible. In the journal Nature Communications, Carlos Castro …

Designer materials with completely random structures might enable quantum computing

“Topological randomness may be the answer for lossless electronics and making the nuts and bolts of quantum computers. Designing quantum materials with exotic and unprecedented electrical properties has the field of physics teeming with buzz. Researchers at Aalto University in …

Device allows a personal computer to process huge graphs

“With novel system, data scientists can analyze massive networks without the need for power-hungry servers. In data-science parlance, graphs are structures of nodes and connecting lines that are used to map scores of complex data relationships. Analyzing graphs is useful …

EEPROM Rotation for ESP8266 and ESP32

“The Arduino Core for ESP8266 and ESP32 uses one SPI flash memory sector to emulate an EEPROM. When you initialize the EEPROM object (calling begin) it reads the contents of the sector into a memory buffer. Reading a writing is …

FM DDS: First Light Hardware

“Some Barely Viable Prototype hardware for a frequency modulated DDS to replace Channel Elements requiring now-unobtainable crystals: The heatsink (surely harvested from a PC, then salvaged from a box o’ goodies) runs about 25 °C above ambient while dropping a …

Future robots need no motors HKU Engineering invents world’s first nickel-hydroxide actuating material that can be triggered by both light and electricity

“To develop micro- and biomimetic-robots, artificial muscles and medical devices, actuating materials that can reversibly change their volume under various stimuli are researched in the past thirty years to replace traditional bulky and heavy actuators including motors and pneumatic actuators …

Google Assistant Controlled Switch Using NODEMCU

“Wouldn’t it be great to Turn things on or off with the help of Google assistant..!!! So In this Instructables, I will show how to control any electrical appliances with the help of Google assistant, just like Amazon’s …
