Neopixel RGB LED Sword Prop

“Hi everyone, today I’m going to show you how to make a fantasy sword that glows using embedded Neopixel style LEDs. I must admit that I did not really have a reason for making this, other than I just …

New CubeSat will observe the remnants of massive supernovas

“Scientists at CU Boulder are developing a satellite about the size of a toaster oven to explore one of the cosmos’ most fundamental mysteries: How did radiation from stars punch its way out of the first galaxies to fundamentally alter …

New Device Powers Wearable Sensors Through Human Motion

“The advent of inexpensive wearable sensors that can monitor heart rate and body temperature, as well as levels of blood sugar and metabolic byproducts, has allowed researchers and health professionals to monitor human health in ways never before possible. But …

New technology diagnoses sickle cell disease in record time

“Diseases of the blood, like sickle cell disease, have traditionally taken a full day, tedious lab work and expensive equipment to diagnose, but researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a way …

New XGS CMOS Image Sensors Enhance ON Semiconductor Offerings for High-Resolution Industrial Imaging

“ON Semiconductor (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, has expanded their XGS family of image sensors with high performance, low noise products that offer 12-bit image quality at a high frame rate. The new offerings include the XGS 45000, the …

NTHU Researchers Make Major Breakthrough in Quantum Dot Technology

“You probably already know that placing a pared apple in saltwater prevents it from turning black from oxidation, but do you also know that saltwater can also be used to protect fragile quantum dot material? A research team led by …

NVIDIA Xavier Shatters Records, Excels in Back-to-Back Performance Benchmarks

“The brain of the DRIVE AGX platform for autonomous vehicles dominates MLPerf inference tests for the second year in a row. AI-powered vehicles aren’t a future vision, they’re a reality today. And they’re only truly possible …

Online Weather Station

“You will not believe it! But from the beginning. I was working on the next version of CoolPhone and the number of errors I made when designed it forced me to take a break from it. I put my shoes …

Optical wiring for large quantum computers

“Researchers at ETH have demonstrated a new technique for carrying out sensitive quantum operations on atoms. In this technique, the control laser light is delivered directly inside a chip. This should make it possible to build large-​scale quantum computers …

Pinning down the ampere with a supersensitive particle detector

“From light bulbs to cell phones, all electronic devices in everyday life rely on the flow of electrons to function. Just as scientists use meters to describe the length of an object or seconds to measure the passage of time …
