Researchers demonstrate existence of new form of electronic matter

“Researchers have produced a “human scale” demonstration of a new phase of matter called quadrupole topological insulators that was recently predicted using theoretical physics. These are the first experimental findings to validate this theory. The researchers report their findings in …

Researchers work together to improve communication-aiding technologies

“Deciding which hand to use for communication-aiding technology is a cognitive task that can slow the user down, potentially inhibiting communication and performance, according to a Penn State study. More than four million Americans who have such complex disabilities that …

Scientists gain new visibility into quantum information transfer

“Advance holds promise for “wiring” of quantum computers and other systems, and opens new avenues for understanding basic workings of the quantum realm. When we talk about “information technology,” we generally mean the technology part, like computers, networks, and software …

Sweet relief for lithium batteries’ dendrite problem

“Sugar may not be good for your health, but the wrinkle it provides to researchers could be great for the future of battery technology. Scientists at Rice University and Arizona State University got a bit of sweet satisfaction from their …

Tiny electronics could solve security issues

“A University of Sydney engineer has developed a new nanotechnology-based component that could sit at the heart of anti-counterfeiting technologies for the fashion and defence industries and fraud-proof verification techniques for online machines. Working with an international team, Dr Omid …

UTSA researchers want to teach computers to learn like humans

“A new study by Paul Rad, assistant director of the UTSA Open Cloud Institute, and Nicole Beebe, Melvin Lachman Distinguished Professor in Entrepreneurship and director of the UTSA Cyber Center for Security and Analytics, describes a new cloud-based learning platform …

A raft of flaws in AMD chips makes bad hacks much, much worse

“Secure enclaves like the one found in iPhones are intended to be impenetrable fortresses that handle tasks too sensitive for the main CPUs they work with. AMD’s version of that co-processor contains a raft of critical flaws that attackers …

BML DC/DC SWITCHER FOR 5V TO 3V AT 750MA IN A TO-220 7805 FOOTPRINT

“This post is an open source hardware design from Black Mesa Labs for a simple DC/DC converter for dropping 5V to 3.3V ( or adjustable to lower voltages via resistor selections ). The design is based on the PAM2305 from …

Building a Prosthetic Arm With Lego

“Ever since he was a kid, David Aguilar was obsessed with Lego. He spent his childhood building cars, planes, helicopters, and eventually, his own prosthetic. Born with a deformed arm, the self-named “Hand Solo” decided to take his Lego-building skills …

DIY Weather Station Using DHT11, BMP180, NodeMCU Over Blynk Server

“You would have seen Weather Application right? Like, when you open it you get to know the weather conditions like Temperature, Humidity etc. Those readings are the average value of an a big area, so if you want to know …
