Your next wooden chair could arrive flat, then dry into a 3D shape

“Wooden objects are usually made by sawing, carving, bending or pressing. That’s so old school! Today, scientists will describe how flat wooden shapes extruded by a 3D printer can be programmed to self-morph into complex 3D shapes. In the …

2D array of electron and nuclear spin qubits opens new frontier in quantum science

“By using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material, researchers at Purdue University have opened a new frontier in quantum science and technology, enabling applications like atomic-scale nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and to read …

2D boundaries could create electricity

“Rice lab leads effort to generate thickness-independent piezoelectricity in atom-thick materials There’s still plenty of room at the bottom to generate piezoelectricity. Engineers at Rice University and their colleagues are showing the way. A new study describes the discovery …

A breakthrough in magnetic materials research could lead to novel ways to manipulate electron flow with much less energy loss

“Newly discovered magnetic interactions in the Kagome layered topological magnet TbMn6Sn6 could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through these materials. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory …

Accurate Acoustic Sensor – Sound Frequency to Voltage Converter

“The project presented here is a sensitive sound sensor. The circuit converts sound frequency and outputs DC voltage. The board consists of LM358 OPAMP and LM2907 IC. LM358 is used as a dual-stage microphone preamplifier and LM2907 acts as a …

Algorithm learns to correct 3D printing errors for different parts, materials and systems

“Engineers have created intelligent 3D printers that can quickly detect and correct errors, even in previously unseen designs, or unfamiliar materials like ketchup and mayonnaise, by learning from the experiences of other machines. The engineers, from the University of Cambridge …

ATX Bench Power Supply

“This is a bench power supply made from a old computer power supply. After trying to revamp my Robotic Arm I ran into some power supply issues with it so I decided to try and make my own bench top …

Baylor Study Combines Lithophane, 3D Printing to Make Scientific Data Accessible to Everyone Regardless of Level of Eyesight
