If you’ve ever fumbled through circuit simulation and ended up with a flatline instead of a sine wave, this video from [saisri] might just be the fix. In this walkthrough …read more Continue reading Virtual Nodes, Real Waves: a Colpitts Walkthrough
We all know periscopes serve for observation where there’s no direct line-of-sight, but did you know they can allow you to peer through history? That’s what [msylvain59] documented when he …read more Continue reading British Wartime Periscope: a Peek Into the Past
Meet the little board that could: [alcor6502]’s tiny USB relay controller, now evolved into a multifunction marvel. Originally built as a simple USB relay to probe the boundaries of JLCPCB’s …read more Continue reading How a Tiny Relay Became a USB Swiss Army Knife
Somewhere in the universe, there’s a place that lists every x86 operating system from scratch. Not just some bootloaders, or just a kernel stub, but documentation to build a fully …read more Continue reading One Book to Boot Them All
Detecting single photons can be seen as the backbone of cutting-edge applications like LiDAR, medical imaging, and secure optical communication. Miss one, and critical information could be lost forever. That’s …read more Continue reading Reconfigurable FPGA for Single Photon Measurements
Back in the early 1900s, before calculators lived in our pockets, crunching numbers was painstaking work. Adding machines existed, but they weren’t exactly convenient nor cheap. Enter Vilin Vinson and …read more Continue reading Math, Optimized: Sweden’s Maximal Multi-Divi
Radio waves travel fast, and they can bounce, too. If you are able to operate a 25-meter dish, a transmitter, a solid software-defined radio, and an atomic clock, the answer …read more Continue reading Dwingeloo to Venus: Report of a Successful Bounce
If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet …read more Continue reading Twisting Magnetism to Control Electron Flow
In the heart of Manchester, UK, a groundbreaking event took place in 1948: the first modern computer, known as the Manchester Baby, ran its very first program. The Baby’s ability …read more Continue reading Modern Computing’s Roots or The Manchester Baby
Laser microphones have been around since the Cold War. Back in those days, they were a favorite tool of the KGB – allowing spies to listen in on what was …read more Continue reading Spy Tech: Build Your Own Laser Eavesdropper
