Superconductor Simulations: Algorithms Predict Superconductivity in Crystalline Materials

“Superconductivity is a phenomenon where a material loses its electrical resistance. However, it occurs at extremely low transition temperatures requiring expensive cooling solutions. A breakthrough in high-temperature superconductors was found in crystal structures containing hydrogen. Now, researchers have used a …

Surrey researchers working with Space Power to revolutionise satellite power using laser beaming

“The University of Surrey and Space Power are tackling the problem of powering satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) during their eclipse period when they cannot see the sun. By collaborating on a space infrastructure project, the joint team will …

Tiny materials lead to a big advance in quantum computing

“Using ultrathin materials to reduce the size of superconducting qubits may pave the way for personal-sized quantum devices. Like the transistors in a classical computer, superconducting qubits are the building blocks of a quantum computer. While engineers have been able …

(Yet Another) Dot Matrix Clock

“A simple and eye-catching Dot Matrix Clock/Calendar showing also temperature and Humidity with a practical 3D-printed enclosure This is a very simple yet large Dot-Matrix Clock-Calendar running MD_Parola library. Many friends seen this clock in my garage and in …

Zwift Capable Pedal Generator

“I’ve been using a pedal generator for a few years now during the winter months, but this year decided to sign up with Zwift and see if I could integrate my pedal generator with Zwift. This Instructable will show …

A new language for quantum computing

“Twist is an MIT-developed programming language that can describe and verify which pieces of data are entangled to prevent bugs in a quantum program. Time crystals. Microwaves. Diamonds. What do these three disparate things have in common? Quantum computing …

Arduino Nano 20KHz pocket sized Digital Oscilloscope

“A difficult code with a try to display waveform on a small screen with precisions. Volts-time, frequency, duty cycle and divisions. Previously, I posted a tutorial on Raspberry Pi-Pico Oscilloscope. And that was a great success. Keeping portable options in …

Artificial Life: HD

“A hugely improved and updated version of my Artificial Life project using the Pimoroni Unicorn HAT HD! The project before This is an update on a previously existing project: Artificial Life which I made way back in the old times …

Asymmetry is key to creating more stable blue perovskite LEDs

“From street and household lighting, to television and mobile displays, light emitting diodes (LEDs) play an essential role in modern life. Now, researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have developed blue LEDs based on …

Basys3 Oscilloscope

“Creating a simple oscilloscope with the Basys3 board Introduction The Digilent Basys3 board is a very capable board to get started developing FPGA projects with. It provides the users with an Artix 35T device, USB-UART, Four Pmods - Including one …
