“The new technology could allow researchers to fit more biochemical probes onto a single biochip and reduce the cost of screening and analyzing changes associated with disease development, detecting bioterrorism agents, and other areas of research 3-D printing has gained …
“In trying to bring brain-like (neuromorphic) computing closer to reality, researchers have been working on the development of memory resistors, or memristors, which are resistors in a circuit that ‘remember’ their state even if you lose power. Today, most computers …
“In this tutorial we will go over how you can use a PIC16F886 microcontroller to detect differances in capacitance, this can later be used to tell if a touch pad is being pressed. It’s good to be familiar with …
“This is a door locking system that uses a card with a preset color sequence printed on it to unlock the door. The system is still in the prototyping stage, i’m waiting for the actual lock part to arrive …
“An annoying little thing, really Here’s a tiny pcb that you can stash somewhere and annoy people. Where’s that chirping coming from? It uses an LED, piezo buzzer, ATTINY13 Atmel microcontroller, a very small amount of Arduino code …
“In my first instructable, Ive described how to build a device that should be quite helpful to somebody who wans to treat amblyopia (lazy eye). The design was very simplistic and had some drawbacks (it required use of two batteries …
“Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a new technology for switching heat flows ‘on’ or ‘off’. The findings were published in the article “Millimeter-scale liquid metal droplet thermal switch,” which appeared in Applied Physics Letters. Switches …
“Goal is for research to produce a working pilot plant within 15 years. Progress toward the long-sought dream of fusion power — potentially an inexhaustible and zero-carbon source of energy — could be about to take a dramatic leap forward. Development of …
“When you bake a cake, you can combine the ingredients in almost any proportions, and they will still always be able to mix together. This is a little more complicated in materials chemistry. Often, the aim is to change the …
“In 1886, sailors on a German barque called Paula tossed a gin bottle with a message inside into waters hundreds of miles off the western coast of Australia. One hundred and thirty-one years later, a Perth resident stumbled upon the …
