Homemade CNC Machine From DC Servo Motors and Wooden Wine Boxes

“Today, I would like to share how to build a 3 axis CNC machine at home using available or discarded materials. Specifically in this project, I reused 2 old DC servo motors and 2 wooden wine boxes, as well as …

How physics breaks down in a black hole

“One of the most cherished laws of physics - the conservation of charge - has come under fire in “startling” research by physicists. The paper by Dr Jonathan Gratus from Lancaster University and Dr Paul Kinsler and Professor Martin McCall from Imperial …

How To Make Lithium-Ion Batteries Invincible

“In our future electrified world, the demand for battery storage is projected to be enormous, reaching to upwards of 2 to 10 terawatt-hours (TWh) of annual battery production by 2030, from less than 0.5 TWh today. However, concerns are …

Infrared Remote Decoder/Tester

“A simple decoder or tester for infrared remote controls. Great for obtaining the command code for each button on the remote. Going through boxes of junk that had been collected over a number of years, I came across dozens of …

Ingeniously Two-Dimensional

“Efficiently doping the semiconductors of tomorrow Electronics of the future are inconceivable without two-dimensional materials. They are the great hope for high-performance and energy-efficient electronic components. At the same time, however, the unique properties of two-dimensional materials make it difficult …

Innovative Ultra High Density Offline Power Solutions from ON Semiconductor

“ON Semiconductor® (Nasdaq:ON), driving energy efficient innovations, announces industry’s first dedicated critical conduction mode (CrM) totem pole PFC controller as a new addition to their solution set for ultra-high density offline power supplies. In conventional PFC circuits, the …

Introducing Windows 11

“At a time when the PC is playing a more central role in our lives, Windows 11 is designed to bring you closer to what you love. Windows has always existed to be a stage for the world’s innovation …

Project  Laser Harp

Laser Harp

“This is a musical instrument that uses MIDI communication, lasers, and photoresistors to generate sounds. Story To create this instrument, I took inspiration from other existing laser harp models, which however are very bulky and expensive. My goal was therefore …

Let there be light! New tech for night vision

“Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have developed new technology that allows people to see clearly in the dark, revolutionising night-vision. The first-of-its-kind thin film, described in a new article published in Advanced Photonics, is ultra-compact and one day …

Light-harvesting nanoparticle catalysts show promise in quest for renewable carbon-based fuels

“Researchers report that small quantities of useful molecules such as hydrocarbons are produced when carbon dioxide and water react in the presence of light and a silver nanoparticle catalyst. Their validation study – made possible through the use of a high-resolution …
