Electrically Driven Chemistry

“UD advance opens door to accessing new materials for catalysis, sensing and gas storage Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a promising class of materials that have many applications as catalysts, sensors and for gas storage. Widely studied over the past …

FM Stereo Receiver add-on for Raspberry Pi

“Simple FM stereo receiver based on QN8035 for Raspberry Pi. The QN8035 is a stereo FM radio receiver launched by the Quintic Corporation. Compared to other popular digital FM tuners (RDA5807, TEA5767, etc.), this tuner does not seem to be …

Gesture Recognition on Microcontroller with TinyML

“Using gesture recognition with the in-built light sensor, the Wio Terminal will be able to recognize the rock, paper and scissor gesture. Alright, let’s get started with our Gesture Recognition on Microcontroller with TinyML! Let’s go! Using gesture …

Global Earthquake Display

“The crust of the Earth is in constant motion. It’s moving very, very slowly but in some places the pressure builds and builds and suddenly catastrophically releases in what a scientist would call a seismic event, or in more …

Graphene made with lasers for wearable health devices

“Graphene, hexagonally arranged carbon atoms in a single layer with superior pliability and high conductivity, could advance flexible electronics according to a Penn State-led international research team. Huanyu “Larry” Cheng, Dorothy Quiggle Career Development Professor in Penn State’s Department …

Graphene Valleytronics: Paving the Way to Small-Sized Room-Temperature Quantum Computers

“Valleytronics is an emerging field in which valleys—local minima in the energy band structure of solids—are used to encode, process, and store quantum information. Though graphene was thought to be unsuitable for valleytronics due to its symmetrical structure …

Helping semiconductors find a cooler way to relax

“Extending the lifetime of hot electrons could help make solar cells more efficient. Bandgap engineering can improve the performance of optoelectronic devices that aim to harness the energy of “hot” electrons, research from KAUST shows. Semiconductors have a signature property …

High-energy shape memory polymer could someday help robots flex their muscles

“When stretched or deformed, shape memory polymers return to their original shapes after heat or light is applied. These materials show great promise for soft robotics, smart biomedical devices and deployable space structures, but until now they haven’t been …

Homebrew 8-Bit Computer With TinyBASIC and ATMEGA1284P

“I have assembled many desktop computers over the years but it’s just not the same when you don’t use a soldering iron! I wanted to build a computer from scratch for a long long time because I find …

Hydrophone Feather Board

“I wanted to build a TinyML model that could detect when a boat is nearby by listening for it on a hydrophone. Edge Impulse makes it easy to build ML Models that can run on an Arduino board and detect …
