Collaborate Disseminate
The team of [Michael] and [Chimdi] from Cornell’s Designing with Microcontrollers (ECE 4760) Fall 2023 session designed a version of Simon Says on an RP2040 which they call Pico Says. …read more Continue reading Simon Says with an RP2040
In the old days, building a quadcopter or drone required a lot of hacking together of various components from the motors to the batteries and even the control software. Not …read more Continue reading A Deep Dive into Quadcopter Controls
For the first time, scientists have found that the region in our brain that houses memory is made up of not one but two sections: one that deals with past experiences of time and places, and one that is more predictive, and actively constructs future behaviors.

While Microsoft and Apple don’t release the source code for their operating systems, a good estimate is that it takes around 50 million lines of code to run these software …read more Continue reading An Entire RISC-V Operating System in 2000 Lines
Virtual Reality always seemed like a technology just out of reach, much like nuclear fusion, the flying car, or Linux on the desktop. It seems to be gaining steam in …read more Continue reading Mice Play in VR
More than 40 years after launch, Voyager 1 is still making new discoveries. The latest achievement by the craft is the detection of a faint, plasma “hum,” indicating that there may be more activity in interstellar gas than previously thought.Continue R… Continue reading Voyager 1 detects plasma “hum” in interstellar space
Saturn’s moon Titan is one of the most fascinating bodies in the solar system, not least because it’s home to huge oceans, lakes and rivers of liquid methane. Now scientists have used radar to probe the composition and depth of its largest sea, Kraken … Continue reading Depths of alien ocean probed with radar in Cassini study
It sounds like the start of a joke, but what’s the difference between taking Cornell’s CS6120 online and in-person? The instructor, [Adrian Samspon] notes that the real class has deadlines, an end-of-semester project, and a discussion board that is only open to real-life students. He also notes that you only …read more
Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new technique for 3D printing metallic objects – and it involves blasting titanium particles at supersonic speeds. The resulting metals are very porous, which makes them particularly useful for biomedica… Continue reading New 3D printing technique fuses titanium particles at supersonic speeds
