Collaborate Disseminate
Although neutrinos are exceedingly common, their near-massless configuration means that their presence is rather ephemeral. Despite billions of them radiating every second towards Earth from sources like our Sun, most …read more Continue reading Detecting Anti-Neutrinos from Distant Fission Reactors Using Pure Water at SNO+
As fun as brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are, for the best results they tend to come with the major asterisk of requiring the cutting and lifting of a section of the …read more Continue reading Noninvasive Sensors for Brain–Machine Interfaces Based on Micropatterned Epitaxial Graphene
A recent paper (PDF) in Physical Review Letters by T. Niwase and colleagues covers a fascinating new way to both create and effectively examine isotopes by employing a cyclotron and …read more Continue reading Uranium-241 Isotope Created and Examined Via Multinucleon Transfer Reactions and Mass Spectrometry
We’ve all heard the incredible claims made about graphene and its many promising applications, but so far the wonder-material has been held back by the difficulty of producing it in …read more Continue reading The Challenges of Producing Graphene in Quantity
For as much old coal mines are a blight upon the face of the Earth, they may have at least one potential positive side-effect. Where the coal mine consists out …read more Continue reading Using Old Coal Mines As Cheap Sources of Geothermal Heat
As the race towards the first commercially viable nuclear fusion reactor heats up, the UK-based Tokamak Energy has published a paper on its recent achievements with its ST40 spherical tokamak. …read more Continue reading The UK’s ST40 Spherical Tokamak Achieves Crucial Plasma Temperatures
Nobody likes getting zapped from an electrostatic discharge, no matter whether you’re a fragile ASIC or a bag-of-mostly-salty-water humanoid. To prevent this, ESD wrist straps and similar are essential tools, …read more Continue reading Busting Wireless ESD Wrist Straps With LTT and ElectroBOOM
There’s something very tantalizing about an augmented reality (AR) overlay that can provide information in daily life without having to glance at a smartphone display, even if it’s just for …read more Continue reading Supercon 2022: Aedan Cullen is Creating an AR System to Beat the Big Boys
What is the difference between 78, 45, and 33 RPM records? Obviously most people would say the speed, which of course is true to a degree. But as [Techmoan] covers …read more Continue reading Playing 78 RPM Shellac Records: It’s Not Just About Speed
In a recent article on The Chip Letter [Babbage] looks at the Intel iAPX 432 computer architecture. This was an ambitious, hyper-CISC architecture that was Intel’s first 32-bit architecture. As a stack-based …read more Continue reading Intel’s iAPX 432: Gordon Moore’s Gamble and Intel’s Failed 32-bit CISC
