Capillary Forces at Work for Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

“Professor Do Kyung Kim from the KAIST Department of Materials Science and Engineering and his team succeeded in developing high-areal-capacity lithium sulfur batteries (Li-S batteries) by capturing polysulfide with carbon nanofibers. This research will provide new batteries to replace existing …

GPS Clock Time Adjusted to Timezone and Daylight Saving Time

“In this instructable I share with you my gathering of useful components in Arduino code. If you have a GPS receiver, why not use the time of the GPS satellites displayed in the time of your timezone.”

Humans and machines learn together to win a competition

“Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are seen as a potential means by which severely physically impaired individuals can regain control of their environment. BCIs use the electrical activity in the brain to control an external device. They have seen growing use in …

‘Lost’ Asteroid 2010 WC9 Will Make an Unusually Close Flyby of Earth Today

“A jumbo-jet-size asteroid will give Earth a close shave today (May 15), whizzing past our planet at a safe distance of 126,000 miles (203,000 kilometers) — or about half the distance between Earth and the moon. The asteroid, which …

No Motor, No Battery, No Problem

“New robot concept uses responsive materials to swim through water Engineers at Caltech and ETH Zurich have developed robots capable of self-propulsion without using any motors, servos, or power supply. Instead, these first-of-their-kind devices paddle through water as the material …

Poor mans Bash Bunny

“I have been looking at the BashBunny from Hak5 for some time, and thought to myself that it was quite expensive. I wanted to play with the same powerful tools, so I decided to build my own cheap-ass version from …

“Overview The Reflowduino project is an entire do-it-yourself (DIY) reflow ecosystem consisting of open-source hardware specifically built to make it easy to control reflow appliances and apply PID temperature control while maintaining full flexibility in programming and usage while offering …

Safer Surgery: Engineer Seeks To Refine Robot-assisted Operations

“Tucked away in a central room at the University of Virginia’s Link Lab, the ultra-modern space on the top floor of School of Engineering and Applied Science’s Olsson Hall, sits a non-descript cart. The cart is surrounded by …

Scientists discover how a pinch of salt can improve battery performance

“Researchers at Queen Mary University of London, University of Cambridge and Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research have discovered how a pinch of salt can be used to drastically improve the performance of batteries. They found that adding salt …

SPEBEG (Single Player Eight Bit Electronic Game)

“Finally got around to finishing the last details of an old shcool project. A simple 8bit game, aim with the joystick at the target and fire! Increase points and try to keep up with the increasing speed!”
