Nasa Control Panel for Kids

“I built this for my sister in law that runs a day care. She saw my lager one I built almost three years ago for a company maker faire and really liked it so I built this one for her …

nerfnet: Wireless Networking over nRF24L01 2.4GHz Radios

“I recently picked up a set of nRF 2.4GHz radio transceivers. These are low-cost radios with a SPI interface that allow exchanging 32 byte packets across a radio link that can run at up to 2MBit on-air data rates …

New type of atomic clock keeps time even more precisely

“The design, which uses entangled atoms, could help scientists detect dark matter and study gravity’s effect on time. Atomic clocks are the most precise timekeepers in the world. These exquisite instruments use lasers to measure the vibrations of atoms …

Oxide tuning by ion transfer

“Jülich researchers discover new formula for changing the electronic and magnetic properties of oxide interfaces (Advanced Materials) Most materials are either magnetic, or they are not. However, scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich have now discovered a new mechanism that allows for …

Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells on the threshold of 30% efficiency

“An HZB team has published a report in the journal Science on the development of its current world record of 29.15% efficiency for a tandem solar cell made of perovskite and silicon. The tandem cell provided stable performance for …

Petalinux Build, new app definition and Dynamic-Static IP

“Build a simple image and enable a Dynamic-Static IP via power up script (put aside Paw Patrol Zuma my son decided to place on the uZed). In the following blog I will cover a use case of defining a dynamic …

Physicists create time reversed optical waves

“Optics researchers from The University of Queensland and Nokia Bell Labs in the US have developed a new technique to demonstrate the time reversal of optical waves, which could transform the fields of advanced biomedical imaging and telecommunications. Time reversal …

Physics discovery leads to ballistic optical materials

“Electronics are increasingly being paired with optical systems, such as when accessing the internet on an electronically run computer through fiber optic cables. But meshing optics — which relies on particles of light called photons—with electronics—relying on electrons — is …

Plant translator

“Using Wio terminal and sensors. New inspiration I’ve been using some of my spare time to design boards, testing garden and weareable electronics and testing things I had in my lab, in order to slowly have fun again with …

Pyramid Levitator

“Pyramid Levitation System - How it works: The Pyramid Levitator uses two Piezo ultrasonic transmitting speakers pointing towards each other. The opposing beams of 40kHz sound waves create what’s called standing waves and pressure nodes. Small items will levitate at …
