Wio Terminal Tetris Game

“The Wio Terminal is a SAMD51-based microcontroller with Wireless Connectivity compatible with Arduino and MicroPython. It runs at 120MHz, 4MB External Flash and 192KB RAM. The Wio Terminal itself is equipped with a 2.4” LCD Screen, onboard IMU …

3D printing is expanding our sustainable building horizons to the outback and beyond

“3D printing processes and building materials can create more sustainable construction in environments as diverse as outback Australia and outer space. A UNSW researcher is pairing traditional building techniques with emerging digital technologies to transform the way we build to …

8-bit ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit)

“In this Instructable, I will be going through the process of building and understanding the architecture behind an ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). The ALU is part of a computer’s CPU (central processing unit) and it handles arithmetic and logic …

A Faster Way to Study 2D Materials for Next-Generation Quantum and Electronic Devices

“New approach leverages artificial intelligence to augment automated experiments. Two-dimensional materials, which consist of a single layer of atoms, exhibit unusual properties that could be harnessed for a wide range of quantum and microelectronics systems. But what makes them truly …

A new concept for low-cost batteries

“Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources. As the world builds out ever larger installations of wind and solar power systems, the need is growing fast for economical, large-scale backup …

A New Era of Chipmaking to Meet the World’s Demand for Compute

“Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger details how advanced compute and packaging are needed to meet the world’s insatiable demand for compute and implement fully immersive digital experiences at Hot Chips 34. At Hot Chips 34, Intel highlights the latest architectural …

A precise linear magnetic position sensor using LInterp

“Virtualise a non-linear sensor into a single linear function using the LInterp PROGMEM array generator This tutorial shows you how to “Virtualise” a non-linear magnetic position sensor to produce an accurate linear position measurement from a single function call. It …

A quantum pump without the crank

“ETH physicists demonstrate how atoms can be pumped through a synthetic crystal without having to apply external periodic driving. These experiments combine several key aspects of quantum many-​body physics in unexpected ways, thus paving a novel path to understanding …

A reflection on the real world

“A simple reordering of the layers in solar-cell modules can help improve efficiency. A solar-cell module that mitigates cell-to-module losses has been developed by KAUST researchers following a rethink of the module’s optical design and how it should be …

Project  Adam74

Adam74

“Something that struck me reading about the history of the Apple I computer was the fairly simple “ASCII bus” that it used for input and output. As I understand it a hobbyist back in the day could get an ASCII …
