Stacking on the graphene

“Tohoku University researchers have fabricated two types of trilayer graphene with different electrical properties - Researchers in Japan have found a way to form two materials, each made of three layers of graphene. Each material’s graphene is stacked differently and …

Voice Controlled 3D Printed Tricopter

“This is a fully 3D printed Tricopter drone that can be flown and controlled with voice control using Amazon’s Alexa through a ground station controlled by the Raspberry Pi. This Voice Controlled Tricopter is also known as Oliver the …

Water Speaker Equalizer

“In my first Instructable I’m going to go through the steps needed to create Water Speakers that act as an equalizer. Water speakers from the store are great to watch, but I felt they could do more. so many …

A step on the way to lithium-free batteries

“Uppsala researcher Dr Laurent Duda and PhD student Felix Massel together with researchers at the University of Oxford, the University of Kent and the Paul Scherrer Institute have come a long way in finding future lithium-free batteries for devices such …

Arduino Nano Logic Probe

“This project is a new version of my Arduino Logic Probe, but now constructed with an Arduino Nano instead of an Arduino Uno. A 3-digit display, a few resistors, and the Arduino Nano are practically the components of this interesting …

Attiny EMF Detector

“As is tradition, finished product image first. Inspired from masteruan’s similar build, which I will link below, I set off to build my own micro sized Electro-Magnetic Field Detector. The goals were to make this as small as possible …

Automatic Vision Object Tracking

“On my last tutorial, we explored how to control a Pan/Tilt Servo device in order to position a PiCam. Now we will use our device to help the camera to automatically tracking color objects as you can see below …

BB8 Droid - Arduino | Remote Controlled | 3D Printed

“I was long impressed by BB8 and how it moves. When I then learnt that they made various working models for the film I set about figuring out how to build my own. After a lot of trial and error …

Come meet ZJU’s robot dog “Jueying”

“With the Year of the Dog close at hand, a “robot dog” from ZJU makes its debut. This quadruped robot dog, called “Jueying”, is able to clamber up a steep slope, walk on thick snow and regain its balance even …

Crushed wood is stronger than steel

“A chemical bath and a hot-press can transform wood into a material that is stronger than steel, researchers report. The process, and others like it, could make the humble material an eco-friendly alternative to using plastics and metals in the …
