UltraSonic Proximity Alarm

“This is a quick and easy guide on how to make a proximity alarm using a HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor, Arduino UNO, Arduino breadboard, and a 6V DC buzzer. This sensor will beep as an object move closer.”

A miniature laser-like device for surface plasmons

“Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a miniature device capable of producing laser-like beams of a particular kind of electromagnetic wave called a surface plasmon. Surface plasmons can be focused much more tightly than light waves, making them useful for …

Bridging the terahertz gap

“Optical frequency comb offers a convenient way to generate elusive terahertz frequencies Optical frequency combs are widely-used, high-precision tools for measuring and detecting different frequencies — a.k.a. colors — of light. Unlike conventional lasers, which emit a single frequency, these …

How to Make a Solar Panel Tracking System

“Solar installations often use fixed solar panels, which are positioned to produce as much electricity as possible. However, these optimum positions are only good when the sun is in a specific spot, and if the sun falls outside this optimum …

Long nanotubes make strong fibers

“Rice University researchers advance characterization, purification of nanotube wires and films To make continuous, strong and conductive carbon nanotube fibers, it’s best to start with long nanotubes, according to scientists at Rice University. The Rice lab of chemist and …

Nanoantenna arrays power a new generation of fluorescence-based sensors

“Researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Bedfordshire, in collaboration with multinational company ABB, have designed and tested a series of plasmonic nanoantenna arrays that could lead to the development of a new generation of ultrasensitive and low-cost fluorescence sensors …

Plasma optic combines lasers into superbeam

“Since its introduction in the 1977 film “Star Wars,” the Death Star has remained one of science fiction’s most iconic figures. The image of Alderaan’s destruction at the hands of the Death Star’s superlaser is burned into …

Small Variable Power Supply

“There are plenty of power supplies available on the Instructables. Compared to the others, this one is: Small size and compact Powerful Simple, made of modules and parts ready to use No special tools necessary Parameters are following: Input voltage …
