Simple Indoor Air Quality Monitor

“The following instructable explains how to build a simple indoor air quality monitor. Through this monitoring you can better organize the ventilation in your rooms. And thus improve health and prevent mold. The following measured variables are displayed: VOC Index …

Skoltech scientists create a new electronegativity scale

“Skoltech chemists have proposed a new electronegativity scale and published their findings in Nature Communications. The concept of electronegativity introduced by Linus Pauling, a great American chemist, in the 1930s refers to the ability of an atom to attract electron …

Software STM32 S/PDIF decoder

“Last time I moved, I set up my receiver and speakers across the room from my desk and computer. It’s a pretty long (~20 feet) cable run. I was worried the audio quality would degrade over that distance, especially …

SpaceX launches another 60 Starlink satellites into orbit and sticks rocket landing

“A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a new batch of 60 Starlink internet satellites into orbit on Wednesday afternoon (April 7) and nailed a landing at sea to top off a successful mission. The veteran Falcon 9 rocket blasted off …

Spin Defects Under Control

“An international research team has made progress towards improved materials for quantum sensor technology. Medicine, navigation and IT could benefit from this in the future. Boron nitride is a technologically interesting material because it is very compatible with other two-dimensional …

Study shows promise of quantum computing using factory-made silicon chips

“A single qubit on a standard silicon transistor chip has been successfully demonstrated as “quantum capable” in a new study by the UCL spinout Quantum Motion, led by researchers at UCL and Oxford University. The qubit is the building block …

TClock - Tissue Box Clock

“In this Instructable I will show you how you can convert an empty tissue box into a cool Arduino based clock that can show the time, date, current temperature & humidity in the room. Supplies: Enclosure Supplies: Empty Tissue Box Utility …

The muon’s magnetic moment fits just fine

“An extensive new calculation of the strength of the magnetic field around the muon — a sub-atomic particle similar to, but heavier than, an electron — closes the gap between theory and experimental measurements, bringing it in line with the standard model …

The Spintronics Technology Revolution Could Be Just a Hopfion Away

“Pioneering study co-led by Berkeley Lab has significance for next-gen information technologies Adecade ago, the discovery of quasiparticles called magnetic skyrmions provided important new clues into how microscopic spin textures will enable spintronics, a new class of electronics that use …

Thermal Power Nanogenerator Created Without Solid Moving Parts

“As environmental and energy crises become increasingly more common occurrences around the world, a thermal energy harvester capable of converting abundant thermal energy — such as solar radiation, waste heat, combustion of biomass, or geothermal energy — into mechanical energy appears to …
