Applying Machine Learning to the Universe’s Mysteries

“Computers can beat chess champions, simulate star explosions, and forecast global climate. We are even teaching them to be infallible problem-solvers and fast learners. And now, physicists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and …

DIY Moisture-Based Smart Irrigation

“We know that plants require water as it acts as a transportation medium for nutrients by carrying the dissolved sugar and other nutrients through the plant. Without water, plants will wither. However excessive watering will fill pores in the soil …

New algorithm for simulating the structure of quantum systems on a quantum photonic chip

“An international collaboration of quantum physicists from the University of Bristol, Microsoft, Google, Imperial College, Max Planck Institute, and the Sun Yat-sen University have introduced a new algorithm to solve the energy structure of quantum systems on quantum computers. They …

Pythagoras, Pythagorean Theorem, 3D Models

“Pythagoras, Pythagorean Theorem, 3D Models The Pythagorean Theorem can be illustrated (not proved) using 3D models. In fact, it is a direct implication of a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in a 3D space. Pick an h > 0. Then, ha …

Researchers propose novel solution to better secure voice over internet communication

“Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham have developed a novel method to better protect Crypto Phones from eavesdropping and other forms of man-in-the-middle attacks. Crypto Phones consist of smartphone apps, mobile devices, personal computer or web-based Voice over …

The next big breakthrough in robotics

“While drones and driverless cars dominate the headlines, another breakthrough—robot dexterity—is likely to have an even greater impact in both business and everyday life. “Robot manipulation is the next shoe to drop,” says Robert Platt, computer science professor …

Universal Arduino Remote

“Okay, the image is a bit misleading, there are not “over 9000” buttons on this remote, but rather 400 buttons. And you can control up to 20 devices through infrared (IR), with 20 different actions. What is it? It is …

Project  Word Clock

Word Clock

“A few years ago, I started making my first Word Clock, inspired by the nice Instructables available.Now that I made eight Word Clocks, which I try to improve each time, I think it is time to share my experience …

3.5A Unipolar Stepper Motor Driver

“Unipolar stepper motor driver can drive unipolar motor up to 3.5A and supply range 10 To 50V DC. The board has been designed using STK672-442AEN IC. The STK672-442AN is a hybrid IC for use as a unipolar …

Advances in Lasers Get to the Long and Short of it

“A new way of modifying the dipole moment of cholesteric liquid crystals allows for researchers to select between the different band-edge modes experimentally for the first time. Since lasers were first developed, the demand for more adaptable lasers has only …
