Unlocking the Secrets of Spin with High-Harmonic Probes

“Deep within every piece of magnetic material, electrons dance to the invisible tune of quantum mechanics. Their spins, akin to tiny atomic tops, dictate the magnetic behavior of the material they inhabit. This microscopic ballet is the cornerstone of magnetic …

Using lasers to ‘heat and beat’ 3D-printed steel could help reduce costs

“Researchers have developed a new method for 3D printing metal that could help reduce costs and make more efficient use of resources. The method, developed by a research team led by the University of Cambridge, allows structural modifications to be …

Voice-Enabled Video Game Controller

“This controller enables gamers with limited mobility to use voice commands as additional inputs for playing video games. This project demonstrates how to build a voice-enabled video game controller, designed to help users with mobility impairments interact with games using …

Webb Study Reveals Rocky Planets Can Form in Extreme Environments

“An international team of astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to provide the first observation of water and other molecules in the highly irradiated inner, rocky-planet-forming regions of a disk in one of the most extreme environments …

What a “2D” quantum superfluid feels like to the touch

“Researchers from Lancaster University in the UK have discovered how superfluid helium 3He would feel if you could put your hand into it. The interface between the exotic world of quantum physics and classical physics of the human experience is …

With a quantum “squeeze,” clocks could keep even more precise time, MIT researchers propose

“More stable clocks could measure quantum phenomena, including the presence of dark matter. The practice of keeping time hinges on stable oscillations. In a grandfather clock, the length of a second is marked by a single swing of the pendulum …

Xiao Power Meter With INA219

“This blog is about how to make a tiny power meter based on a INA219 current sensor. which will show the voltage, current, and wattage of connected devices. this meter is built super tiny by utilizing the small size of …

3D Printed Arduino Halloween Décor

“In this Spooktacular video I am going to create an Arduino based 3D printed Halloween Décor. It’s super easy, fun and spooky. When the full moon is shining and the wolves are howling, it’s time for Halloween’s …

A new way to integrate data with physical objects

“StructCode, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, encodes machine-readable data in laser-cut objects by modifying their fabrication features. To get a sense of what StructCode is all about, says Mustafa Doğa Doğan, think of Superman. Not the “faster than a speeding …

A step on the way to solid-state batteries

“A lithium ceramic could act as a solid electrolyte in a more powerful and cost-efficient generation of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. The challenge is to find a production method that works without sintering at high temperatures. In the journal Angewandte Chemie …
