Astrophysics CubeSat Demonstrates Big Potential in a Small Package

“The ASTERIA satellite, which was deployed into low-Earth orbit in November, is only slightly larger than a box of cereal, but it could be used to help astrophysicists study planets orbiting other stars. Mission managers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion …

Chaos makes quantum sensors work more precisely

“Physicists at the University of Tübingen are developing a method for increasing the accuracy of high-precision sensors Quantum sensors already measure quantities such as temperature, magnetic field strength or accelerations very accurately. And they work even more precisely with chaotic …

Could holey silicon be the holy grail of electronics?

“UCI engineers find that innovative material facilitates effective on-chip cooling Electronics miniaturization has put high-powered computing capability into the hands of ordinary people, but the ongoing downsizing of integrated circuits is challenging engineers to come up with new ways to …

Customizable Fan Grill Cover

“I wasn’t satisfied about the most of the fan covers available on thingiverse, because the finer details aren’t optimized for 3D printing. That’s why I designed this customizable fan cover, where you are able to use different …

DIY -Prototype- Arduino Timed USB Charger

“During our seminar about arduino we had to invent a happy hack featuring arduino. We decided on making a device that would cut power from charging devices using some code for arduino. The Powerbuddy! This prototype doesnt actually charge devices …
