Particle Weather VFD

“A retro VFD weather display project powered by Weather Underground and Particle. This project displays weather from Weather Underground on a serial vacuum fluorescent display (VFD).”

Personal Health Dashboard

“A giant display to motivate oneself to stay active. This project was created out of a need to motivate oneself to be physically active. When we tracked our physical activity, we noticed that there is very minimal/lack of physical …

Real-Time Face Recognition: An End-To-End Project

“On my last tutorial exploring OpenCV, we learned AUTOMATIC VISION OBJECT TRACKING. Now we will use our PiCam to recognize faces in real-time, as you can see below: This project was done with this fantastic “Open Source Computer Vision Library …

Remembering Really Fast

“Colossal magnetoresistance at terahertz frequencies in thin composites boosts novel memory devices operated at extremely high speed. Electronics could work faster if they could read and write data at terahertz frequency, rather than at a few gigahertz. Creating such devices …

Scientists deliver high-resolution glimpse of enzyme structure

“New finding suggests differences in how humans and bacteria control production of DNA’s building blocks. Using a state-of-the-art type of electron microscopy, an MIT-led team has discovered the structure of an enzyme that is crucial for maintaining an …

Scientists pave the way for resilient robot swarms

“Researchers from Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton will use bio-inspired algorithms and machine learning to develop fault-tolerant robotic swarms in a new scheme funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Assistant Professor …

Self-Sustaining Solar Tracker

“The following project was made as part of the Science 0 class 2018 in UTEC. We took the idea and the main design from another instructable but we added an extra feature to it. https://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Dual-Axis- …

Supercomputers aid discovery of new, inexpensive material to make LEDs with excellent color quality

“A team led by engineers at the University of California San Diego has used data mining and computational tools to discover a new phosphor material for white LEDs that is inexpensive and easy to make. Researchers built prototype white LED …

Tuning Quantum Light Sources

“First known material capable of emitting single photons at room temperature and telecom wavelengths. The Science Knowing the details of the quantum world—electrons and packets of light called photons—could radically improve computers and sensors. A critical component to …

Two for the Price of One: Towards Quantum Entanglement with a Single Nanoplate

“Control over light-emitting properties of tiny semiconductor platelets may yield new opportunities for innovative optics utilizing quantum phenomena. The Science Ultrapowerful computers and sensors need entangled packets of light. Entangled means the packets, or photons, can be in one of …
