A time-honored tradition in the electronics repair business is to make many into one, specifically a stack of broken devices into one that works. So too with a triplet of …read more Continue reading Turning Corroded, Bug-Loving WiiMotes into a Working One
A fun way to think about a national electrical grid is as a massively upscaled electrical circuit, one in which you have multiple power supplies injecting AC power, with various …read more Continue reading How the Grid’s Harmonic Filters Keep the Power Clean
An interesting type of superconductors available to us today are the ones that achieve this property at room temperature, with only the small snag that they require crushing pressures that …read more Continue reading Superconducting Temperature Record set at Ambient Pressure
Much like Apple’s once vaunted super-slim butterfly keyboard, today’s range of portable devices featuring flexible OLED displays – which can fold said display into a much smaller form factor – …read more Continue reading Foldable OLED Displays and the Bane of Dust
Over the years poly(lactic acid) (PLA) – also known as polylactide – has become a popular thermoplastic for a variety of reasons. One of these reasons is that it’s easily …read more Continue reading 3D Printering: Why is my PLA so Brittle?
After the little Mars helicopter Ingenuity blew everyone away with its performance, it was clear that a future Mars mission should involve more helicopters like it, with even more capabilities. …read more Continue reading NASA Tests Featherweight Radar Antenna for SkyFall Mars Helicopters
In part one of what is intended to be a series on developing an STM32-based oscilloscope, [BTTLab] demonstrates a how to use the built-in ADC of an STM32F207 MCU to …read more Continue reading Simple DIY STM32 Oscilloscope Project
As popular as the Nintendo Switch and its sequel are, it’s hard to argue that its click-on Joy-Con controllers are ergonomic, barring you having very uniquely shaped hands. This thought …read more Continue reading Joy-Cons Plus WiiMotes Make for Switch 2 Wii-Cons
There are quite a few rather unconventional methods of propulsion, but perhaps one of the more curious approaches involved Helmholtz resonance, as demonstrated by [Junsun Hwang] et al. with a …read more Continue reading Using Acoustic Resonators as Thrusters for Small Robots
OLED displays solve many of the problems suffered by LC displays, including color fidelity, dynamic range and power usage. That said, especially in the early days OLED gained a reputation …read more Continue reading OLEDs Have Gained Brightness, Not Burn-In Resistance
