Wireless, Battery-free Electronic ‘Stickers’ Gauge Forces Between Touching Objects

“Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed electronic “stickers” that measure the force exerted by one object upon another. The force stickers are wireless, run without batteries and fit in tight spaces. That makes them versatile for …

Project  Z80ATmega128

Z80ATmega128

“This project aims to build a system utilizing the Z80A and running CP/M-80 directly. You might be wondering why I chose the Z80 today. Well, it happened to be discovered in my collection of electronic components after being tucked …

An Alarm Clock with No Buttons

“Everything about this alarm clock is controlled from your smart phone using the Arduino Cloud. And it sets itself using NTP time. Alarm clocks usually come with a variety of buttons and switches. As a minimum, we need to set …

ATtiny13BinaryWatches

“Simple Binary Watches with 4 LED(1/5, 2/10, 4/20, 8/40), it mean 5 minute accuracy indicate. How it’s work? Every 0.5 sec CPU wake up(cycle iteration time 100 nS) and increase milliseconds value …

Battery Backup

“This is not a battery charging circuit, just a basic circuit for brief interruptions in mains power. This circuit monitors the battery level and will indicate if the batteries are good with a green LED, and when they should be …

Can quantum computers bring an end to corrosion?

“What do a rusty iron nail, a tarnished sterling silver ring, and a copper statue turned minty green all have in common? They are all products of a chemical process known as corrosion. To the average person, corrosion is an …

Finger-shaped sensor enables more dexterous robots

“MIT engineers develop a long, curved touch sensor that could enable a robot to grasp and manipulate objects in multiple ways. Imagine grasping a heavy object, like a pipe wrench, with one hand. You would likely grab the wrench using …

Graphene Addition for Enhancing the Critical Current Density of Bi-2223 Superconductors

“Researchers use a new synthesis method for Bi-2223 high-temperature superconductors and explore the effects of graphene addition on its superconductivity High-temperature superconductors such as Bi-2223 are known to suffer from limitations such as weak critical current density and weak magnetic …

Groundbreaking study shows defects spreading through diamond faster than the speed of sound

“Defects can make a material stronger or make it fail catastrophically. Knowing how fast they travel can help researchers understand things like earthquake ruptures, structural failures and precision manufacturing. Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny …

Grove Smart IR Gesture Sensor (PAJ7660) Arduino Project

“Practical Arduino project with this intelligent gesture recognition module equipped with an infrared camera sensor and applied AI algorithm. Тoday I received the package I ordered from Seed Studio, and it contains the Grove smart IR Gesture sensor. The product …
