Mass production of new class of semiconductors closer to reality

“Two Waterloo chemists have made it easier for manufacturers to produce a new class of faster and cheaper semiconductors. The chemists have found a way to simultaneously control the orientation and select the size of single-walled carbon nanotubes deposited on …

Pipe Clips / Cable Clips 20Mm To 60Mm All Sizes

“A full range of cable clips / pipe clips. 40 sizes from 20mm (25/32 in) to 60mm (2 23/64 in) in 1mm increments. These clips are medium duty - being strong enough for most applications. For a low poly, lighter …

Stanford researchers develop new method for waking up small electronic devices

“A device that’s turned off doesn’t suck battery life, but it also doesn’t work. Now a low-power system that’s always on the alert can turn devices on when they are needed, saving energy in the networked …

Surgeons use Microsoft HoloLens to ‘see inside’ patients before they operate on them

“Surgeons in the UK are using Microsoft’s mixed-reality headset to “see inside” patients before they operate on them. A team at Imperial College London are wearing HoloLens devices in operating theatres so they can spot key blood vessels, bones …

Tissue paper sensors show promise for health care, entertainment, robotics

“University of Washington engineers have turned tissue paper – similar to toilet tissue – into a new kind of wearable sensor that can detect a pulse, a blink of an eye and other human movement. The sensor is light, flexible and inexpensive …

Using artificial intelligence to hunt for slow zones in overcrowded networks

“We’re all connected — and not just in a yogic sense. By 2022, there will be 29 billion connected devices across the globe, according to a forecast from the June 2017 Ericsson mobility report. All of these devices will want …

Arduino UV Meter using the UV30A Ultraviolet Sensor

“Ultraviolet rays, also known as UV for short are rays emitted by sun. Due to the depletion of the ozone layer, these rays tend to get to extreme levels that could lead to sunburns etc for those under it, that …

New ‘4-D goggles’ allow wearers to be ‘touched’ by approaching objects

“A team of researchers at UC San Diego and San Diego State University has developed a pair of “4-D goggles” that allows wearers to be physically “touched” by a movie when they see a looming object on the screen, such …

Researchers From ITMO Create First-Ever Light-Emitting Nanoantennas

“Young scientists from ITMO University have developed a new type of nanoscale light sources based on halide perovskites. The nanosources are subwavelength nanoparticles which serve both as emitters and nanoantennas capable of amplifying light emission inherently without need for additional …

Scientists Forge a Quantum Leap in Quantum Communication

“Quantum communication, which ensures absolute data security, is one of the most advanced branches of the “second quantum revolution”. In quantum communication, the participating parties can detect any attempt at eavesdropping by resorting to the fundamental principle of quantum mechanics …
