How Does It Work: DIY Relay Modules

“After looking through many instructables it’s clear that many makers love to use the pre-assembled relay modules to switch large loads or mains voltages using their Raspberry Pi or Arduino. These can be bought from places like eBay for …

Remote System Monitor

“Monitor a remote system (battery, power usage and sensors) with this Arduino MKR FOX 1200-based, Sigfox-connected solution. My garage has no mains electricity or WiFi and so I use an old car battery for power and LED lighting, I’d …

Voice Activated Arduino Blinds

“A while ago I made an Instructable where I added a servo and Bluetooth device to my door lock letting me control it with my phone like an addict I just can’t stop adding Bluetooth to stuff and so …

A curious quirk brings organic diode lasers one step closer

“Since their invention in 1962, semiconductor diode lasers have revolutionized communications and made possible information storage and retrieval in CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray devices. These diode lasers use inorganic semiconductors grown in elaborate high vacuum systems. Now, a team of …

Bridging the Gap

“As we work to toward more sustainable ways of powering our lifestyles, there is a quest to bridge the gap between the carbon dioxide-emitting fossil fuels we rely on for our most basic needs, and the cleaner, but not yet …

Designing New Metal Alloys Using Engineered Nanostructures

“Stony Brook University assistant professor Jason Trelewicz brings his research to design and stabilize nanostructures in metals to Brookhaven Lab’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials Materials science is a field that Jason Trelewicz has been interested in since he was …

Enhancing the quantum sensing capabilities of diamond: Shooting electrons at diamonds can introduce quantum sensors into them

“Researchers have discovered that dense ensembles of quantum spins can be created in diamond with high resolution using an electron microscopes, paving the way for enhanced sensors and resources for quantum technologies. Diamonds are made of carbon atoms in a …

Make a Motorised Camera Slider

“What is up guys, In this instructable I will be making a very simple and cheap motorized camera slider for less than 15$. Hope you are gonna like it :)”

Parametric Box Maker

“This is yet another parametric box maker. The exciting new difference with this one is that it’s intended to be used as an OpenSCAD library. This thing is actually only a demo of the basic functionality it has. One …

Quantum Biology: Superconducting Qubits Help to Explain Photosynthesis

“An international team of quantum physicists have learned how to simulate processes which can help to decipher the mechanisms of photosynthesis. By creating a system based only on a single superconducting qubit at almost absolute zero temperature, scientists have managed …
