“What if a typewriter could respond to questions you enter? I answered that question several years ago with a project I called Termi. I salvaged a vintage TI Silent 700 electric typewriter/terminal (Model 745) and connected it to a …
“Environmental sensing and air quality have always been fascinating to study. I’ve tested various sensors over the years that, until recently, cost next to nothing. The COVID pandemic increased my curiosity (and concern) about indoor air quality, CO2 levels …
“Here’s a fun toy project I finally finished this month (Nov ‘22). It’s a racetrack built with a printed circuit board, and small 3D printed magnetic cars. They just drive around the circuit when you apply (the right …
“The past several years have been an exciting time in quantum computing. Billions of dollars have been invested, and there’s no shortage of advocates and detractors. Activity and momentum across the quantum community continue to grow. For proof, there …

“In Switzerland, tire and road wear particles are one of the biggest sources of microplastics released into the environment, yet the chemical compounds contained in those particles – and their effects – remain largely a mystery. To remedy that knowledge gap, scientists …
“This project contains all the work I have done so far on creating a working GPS driven clock that emulates the Magical Clock from the Harry Potter films. I spent months on this and you are free to download the …
“This little robot can go almost anywhere. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science and the University of California, Berkeley, have designed a robotic system that enables a low-cost and relatively small legged robot to climb and …
“New device opens the doors to applications in communication, quantum computing, astronomy. Femtosecond pulsed lasers — which emit light in ultrafast bursts lasting a millionth of a billionth of a second — are powerful tools used in a range of applications from …
News Atomically-thin ribbons can dramatically improve batteries needed for clean transport, as well as solar power
“PNRs are ribbon-like strands of the 2D material phosphorous, which, like graphene, are made of single-atom-thick layers of atoms. They were first created in 2019 by a team led by Professor Chris Howard of UCL following over a hundred theoretical …
