“Nanowires under tension create the basis for ultrafast transistors Smaller chips, faster computers, less energy consumption. Novel concepts based on semiconductor nanowires are expected to make transistors in microelectronic circuits better and more efficient. Electron mobility plays a key role …
“Project to simulate, design, and build a 16-bit breadboard computer. The breadboards are installed in a 3-layer plastic enclosure for circuit stabilization and protection. I designed my own hardware architecture and instruction set architecture (ISA) loosely based on RISC-V …
News Stanford engineers create a catalyst that can turn carbon dioxide into gasoline 1,000 times more efficiently
“Captured CO2 can be turned into carbon-neutral fuels, but technological advances are needed. In new research, a new catalyst increased the production of long-chain hydrocarbons in chemical reactions by some 1,000 times over existing methods. Engineers working to reverse …
“Scientists discover that triggering superconductivity with a flash of light involves the same fundamental physics that are at work in the more stable states needed for devices, opening a new path toward producing room-temperature superconductivity. Much like people can learn …
“Metals usually soften when they expand under heating, but a research team led by a City University of Hong Kong (CityU) scholar and other researchers have discovered a first-of-its-kind super-elastic alloy that can retain its stiffness even after being heated …
“Researchers from Japan successfully estimate the bending energy of disiloxane molecule with ultra-fine molecular simulations run on a supercomputer Discovering novel materials with desirable properties is the ultimate dream in materials science. This requires an accurate prediction of molecular structures …
News Surrey’s new flexible and stretchy supercapacitors could boost “battery” life for Internet of Things
“Smartwatches, fitness trackers and other Internet of Things devices could get a significant boost to their “battery” life thanks to new, environmentally friendly energy research from the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and the Federal University of …
“I outline seven different techniques to measure the length of a telescoping EMT conduit pole, and demonstrate a photoresistor-based method. This article is part of a series discussing methods for adding sensing capabilities to a DIY telescoping pole project made …
“Are you ever in a video call, when the other party suddenly freezes mid-sentence, leaving you wondering after a few seconds of silence: is it my connection that’s having issues, or theirs? In such situations, one glance at the …
“Around 5 years back I made a Floor Cleaning Robot (CleanSweep) from scratch, which was a hit and a lot of people followed the guide and tried making their own robot. But that design actually had some flaws. So last …
