Linear clock

“When the “glow in the dark” clock was finished it realized that I could relatively easily start another clock project. An idea I’ve had in my mind for many years… the linear clock. Now a linear clock is nothing …

Polymer crystals hold key to record-breaking energy transport

“Scientists from the universities of Bristol and Cambridge have found a way to create polymeric semiconductor nanostructures that absorb light and transport its energy further than previously observed. This could pave the way for more flexible and more efficient solar …

Rare element to provide better material for high-speed electronics

“Purdue researchers have discovered a new two-dimensional material, derived from the rare element tellurium, to make transistors that carry a current better throughout a computer chip. The discovery adds to a list of extremely thin, two-dimensional materials that engineers have …

Raspberry PI: Charting Ambient vs Outside Temperature

“How to use a Raspberry PI to chart ambient temperature vs outside temperature. Source code and schematics below. What you need: Raspberry PI with an internet connection DS18B20 temperature sensor (RasPI tutorial at Adafruit) Account at sen.se to log …

Researchers to Develop Self-Evaluating Robots

“Robots can do a lot of things – assemble cars, search for bombs, cook a meal or assist in surgery. But something they can’t do is tell you how they are doing. Researchers from UMass Lowell and several other universities …

RPi Weather Station and Digital Clock

“This is a quick and easy project to make, and a nice display to show off. It displays both the time, weather condition and temperature. And please, if you like this project, vote for me in the Microcontroller Contest: https …

Servo Controlled Prosthetic Hand

“Hi, here I am making a prosthetic hand controlled by servos to make it grip. I am making a right hand but I included the files to print a left palm as well. The assembly is the same for both …

Simple RPM Meter Using Cheap Modules

“This is a very intresting project and utlize very less efforts lts make a very simple RPM meter (Round Per Seceond In my case).”

Solar Tracking With Arduino - Intelligent System

“The solar tracking works on the principal of astronomical equations. With the help of the equation it calculates the coordinates of the sun by calculating the elevation and azimuth angle given the latitude, longitude and time zone of a given …

Supertetrahedra Lego for future batteries

“New sodium-based all-solid-state batteries could enable future energy storage devices using only the easy-to-access, cheap and earth abundant elements sodium, silicon and phosphorous (Na, Si and P). By shaping them into sodium phosphidosilicates containing large supertetrahedral entities, NIM scientist Prof …
