“My wife’s first computer was a PC with a whopping 40 MB hard drive (I’m a Mac guy myself). I have to chuckle at that now because these days storage devices can hold many thousands of times more …
“In this instructable, we will be making a weather station which measures temperature, air humidity and soil moisture with our SLabs-32 board which also sends this data to the Cayenne cloud for data acquisition. We also simultaneously gets the current …
“A team of materials scientists at NYU Tandon School of Engineering has developed the first process to 3D print components of syntactic foam — extremely strong and lightweight composites used in vehicles, airplanes, and ships. Their breakthrough holds particular promise for …
“In a semiconductor, electrons can be excited by absorbing laser light. Advances during the past decade enabled measuring this fundamental physical mechanism on timescales below a femtosecond (10-15 s). ETH physicists now for the first time resolved the response of …
“CSAIL system uses custom ink and ultraviolet light to repeatedly change an object’s color. 3-D printing has come a long way since the first rapid prototyping patent was rejected in 1980. The technology has evolved from basic designs to …
“Timers are very important part of embedded systems. They make your life much easier if used properly. Timers runs independently to main program flow, so they can do job independently without disturbing precious calculations done by CPU. You just set …
“On a whim, Iowa State University’s Robert C. Brown asked students to crank up the oxygen. Brown and the engineers in his research group had worked for years to develop a thermochemical process called fast pyrolysis to produce biorenewable …
“The threat started making headlines around New Years. Publications around the globe warned of the biggest computer chip vulnerability ever discovered, a series of security flaws affecting any device with a microprocessor — from laptops to smartphones. Researchers had found that …
“The 555 was designed back in the early 1970s by Hans Camenzind at the semiconductor company Signetics. It quickly became one of the most popular and used ICs of all time. Data from 2004 shows that it was selling about …
“Graphene nanoflakes are promising for possible applications in the field of nanoelectronics, and the subject of a study recently published in Nano Letters. These hexagonal nanostructures exhibit quantum effects for modulating current flow. Thanks to their intrinsic magnetic properties, they …
