Wall Mounted Minecraft Sword

“Made an enlarged Minecraft sword incorporating RGB lights and an ESP8266 Board. The concept was to create a full-sized Minecraft sword with RGB LEDs fitted in order to create a wall light with a Minecraft theme. This 3D printed light …

Where quantum computers can score

“The travelling salesman problem is considered a prime example of a combinatorial optimisation problem. Now a Berlin team led by theoretical physicist Prof. Dr. Jens Eisert of Freie Universität Berlin and HZB has shown that a certain class of such …

Wireless Scoreboard Display for Drone Soccer or Other Games

“A portable, wireless LED display panel for showing scores of a Drone Soccer match or any typical match involving two teams or players. What This Project Is About This project was created to be a low-cost and convenient way to …

With inspiration from “Tetris,” MIT researchers develop a better radiation detector

“The device, based on simple tetromino shapes, could determine the direction and distance of a radiation source, with fewer detector pixels. The spread of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan in 2011 and the ongoing …

1,000 atomic qubits and rising

“Making quantum systems more scalable is one of the key requirements for the further development of quantum computers because the advantages they offer become increasingly evident as the systems are scaled up. Researchers at TU Darmstadt have recently taken a …

3D microprinter hacked to fabricate transistors for bioelectronics

“The speed of innovation in bioelectronics and critical sensors gets a new boost with the unveiling of a technique for fast-prototyping of devices. A research team at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University reported a simple way to …

6 Channel Voltmeter

“In this project, we are making a 6-channel voltmeter that has 6 voltage dividers and an OLED screen that will show the reading from the diff Some special applications often have to measure the voltage from several parts at the …

A New “Metal Swap” Method for Creating Lateral Heterostructures of 2D Materials

“Researchers employ a new “transmetallation” technique to develop ultrathin electronic devices from 2D coordination nanosheets. Electronically conducting two-dimensional (2D) materials are currently hot topics of research in both physics and chemistry owing to their unique properties that have the potential …

A new world of 2D material is opening up

“Materials that are incredibly thin, only a few atoms thick, exhibit unique properties that make them appealing for energy storage, catalysis and water purification. Researchers at Linköping University have now developed a method that enables the synthesis of hundreds of …

A “quantum leap” at room temperature

“In the realm of quantum mechanics, the ability to observe and control quantum phenomena at room temperature has long been elusive, especially on a large or “macroscopic” scale. Traditionally, such observations have been confined to environments near absolute zero, where …
