Microcontroller Based Water Level Controller With Water Level Indicators and Auto-cutoff

“People generally worry about the wastage of water when they switch ON the motor and forget to switch OFF the motor. This project may help them in saving water for the future. A water level detector is used to control …

MIDI Drum Machine

“A drum machine is a musical instrument which plays sequences and patterns. Usually drum machines produce percussion sounds, drum beats, etc. but this one has a built-in MIDI synthesiser, amplifier and speakers so it can produce “melodic” as well as …

Molecule from nature provides fully recyclable polymers

“Plastics are among the most successful materials of modern times. However, they also create a huge waste problem. Scientists from the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) and the East China University of Science and Technology (ECUST) in Shanghai produced different …

New fiber optic temperature sensing approach to keep fusion power plants running

“MIT’s Erica Salazar shows that faster detection of thermal shifts can prevent disruptive quench events in the HTS magnets used in tokamak fusion devices. The pursuit of fusion as a safe, carbon-free, always-on energy source has intensified in recent …
