LoRa-Tooth: Small Wireless Sensors

“This is a wireless sensors project that involves using LoRa and WiFi to extend the range of BLE sensors. In addition to building sensors and gateways, I also want to integrate the data into nice looking visualizations using open source …

MaH - Modular Arm Helper - No support - Easy print

“MaH - Modular arm Helper MaH was brought into existance because I really, really needed it at my desk. So many times when I’m busy doing stuff when I need to hold more then 2 things :) (soldering iron, tin, wires …

Making better batteries

“Research focused on upscaling of energy-storage devices was presented by Dr Billy Wu and Professor Jason Riley in an IMSE Lunchtime Seminar last week. The Institute for Molecular Science and Engineering (IMSE) co-ordinates a range of integrated activities to bring …

Micro-adjustable Document (non) - Camera for “under-resourced” Classrooms

“Hello friends and fellow educators, My name is Aamir Fidai and I am a Mathematics teacher. Two things to make clear before we go any further, I am not an engineer and this is simply a prototype of an attempt …

Simple Raspberry Pi Camera Trap Made From a Food Container

“”It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement, the greatest source of visual beauty, the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth …

Switched on: a breakthrough for spintronics

“Researchers at Tohoku University in Japan have discovered a switch to control the spin current, a mechanism needed for information processing with full spin-based devices. This is significant because although the technology behind detecting and generating the spin current has …

The right squeeze for quantum computing

“Scientists at Hokkaido University and Kyoto University have developed a theoretical approach to quantum computing that is 10 billion times more tolerant to errors than current theoretical models. Their method brings us closer to developing quantum computers that use the …

Time crystals may hold secret to coherence in quantum computing

“New experimental evidence also lays groundwork for new ways of studying time An Aalto University study has provided new evidence that time crystals can physically exist – a claim currently under hot debate. A time crystal is a structure that does …
