Towards next-gen computers: Mimicking brain functions with graphene-diamond junctions

“Scientists from Japan mimic the brain’s functions with junctions between vertically aligned graphene and diamond The human brain holds the secret to our unique personalities. But did you know that it can also form the basis of highly efficient …

What if Highways Were Electric? Germany Is Testing the Idea

“An electrified highway is theoretically the most efficient way to eliminate truck emissions. But the political obstacles are daunting. On a highway south of Frankfurt recently, Thomas Schmieder maneuvered his Scania tractor-trailer and its load of house paint into the …

When vibrations increase on cooling: Anti-freezing observed

“An international team has observed an amazing phenomenon in a nickel oxide material during cooling: Instead of freezing, certain fluctuations actually increase as the temperature drops. Nickel oxide is a model system that is structurally similar to high-temperature superconductors. The …

Wi-Fi Controlled Stepper Motor With an ESP Microcontroller

“I recently came across this video and decided to modify the project to control a stepper motor and add an OLED display. In this quick, little project, let’s learn how to control a stepper motor’s position from a …

WiFi Controlled Bot

“This bot implements the addition of ESP8266 for establishing a WiFi communication between the Arduino on the remote side and the bot side. In this project, ESP8266 acts as a communication device between the two Arduinos used in the Remote …

X-59 Resembles Actual Aircraft

“A heavy chorus of bolting and machinery filled the X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology, or QueSST, assembly building as engineers, system technicians, and aircraft fabricators worked to merge the major aircraft sections together, making it look like an actual aircraft for …

3D Printed Holo Clock With Arduino

“This project is a 3D printed clock powered by a stepper motor and is controlled by an Arduino Uno. It was designed in OnShape over the course of a month. It keeps time very precisely and only needs to be …

A new theory to explain the transparency of metallic oxides

“The electrons of some metal oxides, due to their large effective mass when coupled with the ionic lattice of the material, cannot follow the electric field of light and allow it to pass through the material. Transparent and conductive materials …

A Super New Theory

“A researcher at the University of Tsukuba introduces a new theoretical model of high-temperature superconductivity, in which electrical current can flow with zero resistance, that may lead to extremely efficient energy generation and transmission A scientist from the Division of …

Aerial Scouting of ‘Raised Ridges’ for Ingenuity’s Flight 10

“Ingenuity has come a long way from its original airfield, “Wright Brothers Field,” which is 0.64 miles (1.04 kilometers) to the northeast of our current location. We got here during Flight 9, an endeavor that had our helicopter …
