ATtiny85 Clock

“Because I use a lot of tutorials online, I figured I should give something back. So this is my first electronics tutorial, or any for that matter. I should note that I’m not a native English speaker So when …

Liquid metal breakthrough ushers new wave of electronics

“RMIT researchers have used liquid metal to create two-dimensional materials no thicker than a few atoms that have never before been seen in nature. The incredible breakthrough will not only revolutionise the way we do chemistry but could be applied …

Material could bring optical communication onto silicon chips

“Ultrathin films of a semiconductor that emits and detects light can be stacked on top of silicon wafers. The huge increase in computing performance in recent decades has been achieved by squeezing ever more transistors into a tighter space on …

Physics Boosts Artificial Intelligence Methods

“Researchers from Caltech and the University of Southern California (USC) report the first application of quantum computing to a physics problem. By employing quantum-compatible machine learning techniques, they developed a method of extracting a rare Higgs boson signal from copious …

Quantum Computing: Breaking Through the 49 Qubit Simulation Barrier

“Quantum computing is at the threshold of tackling important problems that cannot be efficiently or practically computed by other, more classical means. Getting past this threshold will require us to build, test and operate reliable quantum computers with 50 or …

Rendering the invisible visible

“Engineers from Bochum and Duisburg-Essen are developing a technology that is partly only known from films. It sounds like science fiction, the plan devised by researchers involved in the new collaborative research centre named “Marie”: they want to create a …

Replacing an Apple 2e Clone’s keyboard controller with an Arduino

“This is about my vintage Apple 2e clone. It’s a bit of a turd but I love it. I picked it up in a junk store in the mid 90s for something like $20. When you boot it up …

Selective memory

“Scheme would make new high-capacity data caches 33 to 50 percent more efficient. In a traditional computer, a microprocessor is mounted on a “package,” a small circuit board with a grid of electrical leads on its bottom. The package snaps …

Understanding how electrons turn to glass

“New insights into the behaviour of electrons as liquids transform to glass are deepening our understanding of this transition phase. Researchers at Tohoku University have gained new insight into the electronic processes that guide the transformation of liquids into a …

Upgrade of TDA2005 Amplifier

“This is not so complicated Amplifier that could be use in household or in the cottage or anywhere where you think off. This is upgraded version of my first instructable “Amplifier TDA2005” . Basically this small amplifier was originally created like …
