New 3-D chip combines computing and data storage

“As embedded intelligence is finding its way into ever more areas of our lives, fields ranging from autonomous driving to personalized medicine are generating huge amounts of data. But just as the flood of data is reaching massive proportions, the …

New Mexico firm uses motion of the ocean to bring fresh water to coastal communities

“Hurricane Katrina whipped up huge, powerful waves that caused severe destruction in 2005 along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Their size and strength convinced Phil Kithil of Santa Fe, New Mexico, there had to be a way to harness that …

NodeMCU Webserver with Class-Based 60-Second Temp Average

“Averaging temperatures over 60 seconds smooths some of the sensor limitations, allowing for a smoother graphic.”

Peering into neural networks

“Neural networks, which learn to perform computational tasks by analyzing large sets of training data, are responsible for today’s best-performing artificial intelligence systems, from speech recognition systems, to automatic translators, to self-driving cars. But neural nets are black boxes …

Roller Arduino Curtain

“The Arduino controlled Roller Curtain arises under the need of light and visual control that responds to the specific sun cycle in each room. It starts from observing the routine behavior we have to open and close our curtains; Arriving …

Simple Buck LED Driver With PWM Input

“High-power LEDs over 1W are now quite inexpensive. I’m sure many of you are incorporating LEDs as light sources in your projects. However I realize that the finding and configuring the power supply is still not as simple as …

Spinning electrons open the door to future hybrid electronics

“A discovery of how to control spinning electrons paves the way for novel hybrid devices that could outperform existing semiconductor electronics. Researchers at LiU demonstrate how to combine a commonly used semiconductor with a topological insulator, a recently discovered state …

Teaching robots to learn about the world through touch

“Slowly, but surely, the Baxter robot is learning. It starts as a series of random grasps — the big, red robot pokes and prods clumsily at objects on the table in front of it. The process is pretty excruciating to us …
