CWvox, A voice keyer for Morse C

“Morse Code, often referred to by Ham Radio folks simply as CW, is usually sent using a hand operated switch called a ‘Key’. You’ve seen these somewhere, the old telegraph key. Another device called a ‘Keyer’ can automatically generate …

Danish quantum physicists make nanoscopic advance of colossal significance

“QUANTUM PHYSICS In a new breakthrough, researchers at the University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with Ruhr University Bochum, have solved a problem that has caused quantum researchers headaches for years. The researchers can now control two quantum light sources rather …

DIY Smart Home Upgrade: Turn Your IKEA Curtains Into Smart Blinds

“With being active in home automation for the last 5 years, Ive by now (like most of you) automated all my lights and put temperature and humidity sensors on more places than strictly necessary. So, it only logical next step …

Electric car batteries can help drive the clean electricity transition

“As early as 2030, batteries in electric vehicles could fully meet the need for short-term electricity storage around the world. By connecting them to the power grid they can provide their stored energy, improving energy security and enabling renewable technologies …

Electrons in the Fast Lane

“By using ultrafast laser flashes, scientists at the University of Rostock in collaboration with researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart have generated and measured the shortest electron pulse to date. The electron pulse was …

Elevated design keeps solar stills salt-free

“Salt-rejecting microchannels help make seawater drinkable using the power of the sun. A solar distillation device can purify brine from reverse osmosis plants with over 10 percent salinity, as well as water taken directly from the Red Sea. The technology …

Graphene researchers discover long-term memory in 2D nanofluidic channels

“Published in Science, a collaboration between teams from the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at The University of Manchester, and the École Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris, demonstrated the Hebbian learning in artificial nanochannels, where the channels showed short and long term …

How a 3 cm glass sphere could help scientists understand space weather

“UCLA study overcomes the effects of Earth’s gravity, replicating conditions on other planets, stars. Solar flares and other types of space weather can wreak havoc with spaceflight and with telecommunications and other types of satellites orbiting the Earth. But …

Mathematicians Find an Infinity of Possible Black Hole Shapes

“The cosmos seems to have a preference for things that are round. Planets and stars tend to be spheres because gravity pulls clouds of gas and dust toward the center of mass. The same holds for black holes — or, to …
