MaterialX

“MaterialX is an open standard for transfer of rich material and look-development content between applications and renderers. Originated at Lucasfilm in 2012, MaterialX has been used by Industrial Light & Magic in feature films such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens …

Mini CNC 3D Printed PCB Creator

“This project makes a mini CNC 3D printer. For a previous project, I wanted to be able to create PCB’s quickly and simply. I have tried many methods: Toner Transfer (Iron Method); Photosensitive; Hand Drawing. None of these I …

NUS engineers achieve significant breakthrough in spin wave based information processing technology

“Novel method of propagating spin waves could pave the way for high speed, miniaturised data processing devices. Conventional electronic devices make use of semiconductor circuits and they transmit information by electric charges. However, such devices are being pushed to their …

Physicists observe individual atomic collisions during diffusion for the first time

“In the world of research, diffusion is understood as a process in which tiny particles disperse uniformly throughout a gas or liquid. Although these media are made up of individual particles, diffusion is perceived as a continuous process. So far …

Pinpointing sources of water pollution with a robotic eel

“Researchers from EPFL, together with other institutes, have developed a robotic eel that swims through contaminated water to find the source of the pollution. The sensor-equipped robot can be controlled remotely or move on its own. In tests carried out …

Programmable LED

“Inspired by various LED Throwies, blinking LEDs and similar instructables I wanted to do my version of an LED controlled by a microcontroller.The idea is to make the LED blinking sequence reprogrammable. This reprogramming can be done with light …
