These robots can move your couch

“To train robots how to work independently but cooperatively, researchers at the University of Cincinnati gave them a relatable task: move a couch. If you’ve ever helped someone move furniture, you know it takes coordination — simultaneously pushing or pulling …

This Technology Could Bring the Fastest Version of 5G to Your Home and Workplace

“Consumers of today’s 5G cellphones may have experienced one of the following tradeoffs: impressive download speeds with extremely limited and spotty coverage, or widespread and reliable coverage with speeds that aren’t much faster than today’s 4G networks …

Universal Logic Probe

“These days good quality oscilloscope is not an expensive instrument and, we can see it in most workbenches. With the advancement of oscilloscopes, simple testing tools such as logic probes are not as popular these days. However, if the oscilloscope …

USTC Improves Anyonic Photonic Quantum Simulation

“A research team from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) led by academician GUO Guangcan, collaborating with Prof. PACHOS Jinannis from University of Leeds, realized topological quantum computation by the braiding of parafermion zero modes and the magic …

XpandShield MK1

“An Arduino Shield with extensive I/O that is compatible with many Arduino boards. Follows Arduboy pinout. This shield, to the end of the day, is the extension of the old LCD4884 Joystick Shield. However, whereas the LCD4884 Shield may …

3D Printed Racing Quadcopter

“Lets make a 3D printed quadcopter frame! This frame is different compared to conventional frames wherein its more of a Cross or X, This frame is more of a Semi H/X. Compared to other frames this design will give …

A new liquid crystal ink for 3D printing

“TU/e researchers have synthesized a liquid crystal ink to imitate structures in nature for possible applications in healthcare and lighting. Cholesteric liquid crystals, a man-made material with properties between liquids and solid crystals, can mimic the colors of butterfly …

A peculiar state of matter in layers of semiconductors

“In a study that could benefit quantum computing, researchers show a superlattice embedded with nanodots may be immune from dissipating energy to the environment. Scientists around the world are developing new hardware for quantum computers, a new type of device …

A Robotic Fish Tail and an Elegant Math Ratio Could Inform the Design of Next-Generation Underwater Drones

“Underwater vehicles are typically designed for one cruise speed, and they’re often inefficient at other speeds. The technology is rudimentary compared to the way fish swim well, fast or slow. What if you want your underwater vehicle to travel …

AmebaD and Arduino humidity monitor for house plants

“Your plants die when you are on the road, this practice will help you create a Wifi monitor to keep an eye on them. In this practice a solenoid valve is controlled while the temperature and humidity of a plant …
