ESP32-Powered Tabletop Kinetic Sand Drawing Robot

“In 2020, back when I had just started my sophomore year of high school, I built a very basic sand plotter robot that drew patterns in sand. Three years later, I wanted to use the skills that I have taught …

Fast electrical signals mapped in plants with new technology

“What happens inside the carnivorous plant Venus Flytrap when it catches an insect? New technology has led to discoveries about the electrical signalling that causes the trap to snap shut. Bioelectronic technology enables advanced research into how plants react to …

Fiber Optic Cables Detect and Characterize Earthquakes

“In California, thousands of miles of fiber optic cables crisscross the state, providing people with internet. But these underground cables can also have a surprising secondary function: they can sense and measure earthquakes. In a new study at Caltech, scientists …

Finding catalytic power in unexpected places

“Calcium outshines chromium in the catalytic production of ammonia. Working together, a humble trio of calcium atoms have defied expectations to break apart one of the strongest chemical bonds known. The atoms form the key part of a catalyst that …
