Bone growth inspired “microrobots” that can create their own bone

“Inspired by the growth of bones in the skeleton, researchers at the universities of Linköping in Sweden and Okayama in Japan have developed a combination of materials that can morph into various shapes before hardening. The material is initially soft …

DC-HV DC Converter – 200V @ 20mA Output with 12V DC Input

“This is a low-cost DC-HV DC converter built using TL3843 Low-Power Current-Mode PWM Controller from TI. Screw terminal connectors are provided for input and output, onboard LED D1 indicates the input supply. The project provides 200V DC @ 20mA output …

Demystifying machine-learning systems

“A new method automatically describes, in natural language, what the individual components of a neural network do. Neural networks are sometimes called black boxes because, despite the fact that they can outperform humans on certain tasks, even the researchers who …

DIY Arduino Tug of War Game on Homemade 8x8 Led Matrix

“Tug of War is an old game where two players pull on a rope, one player winning by pulling the rope far enough to their own side. Tug of War is an old game where two players pull on a …

DIY Simple Alpha Radiation Spark Detector (HV)

“For detection is used high voltage (from 8000 to 15000 volts) The presence of Alpha radiation is manifested by small sparks between the anode and the cathode. This time I will show you how to make a very simple device …

ES Timer a Special Pomodoro Timer (Digispark ATtiny85)

“ES Timer powered by Digispark ATtiny85 is based on the Pomodoro technique, which can solve the problem of skipping the break phase between work phases. When you connect it to your system port (whether Windows, Linux or even macOS) it …

Faster technique for resetting quantum circuits proposed

“Simulations suggest a new technique for resetting ‘qubits’ in a quantum computer without harming them Rebooting a quantum computer is a tricky process that can damage its parts, but now two RIKEN physicists have proposed a fast and controllable way …

Fastest-ever study of how electrons respond to X-rays performed

“A study of electron dynamics timed to millionths of a billionth of a second reveals the damage radiation can do on a molecular level. The first-of-its kind study used ultrafast X-ray laser pulses to disrupt the electrons in a molecule …

Gesture Controlled Smart Mirror

“A Smart Mirror is a two-way mirror with an inbuilt display behind the glass. The display can show anything you want on the mirror’s surface such as the current time, weather forecast, news feed, upcoming appointments, and more. In …

Getting hydrogen out of banana peels

“Scientists at EPFL have developed a way to maximize hydrogen yields from biowaste within a few milliseconds. The method uses rapid photo-pyrolysis to produce hydrogen gas and solid conductive carbon from banana peels. As the world’s energy demands increase …
