One of the first logic circuits most of us learn about is the humble flip-flop. They’re easy enough to build with just a couple of NOR or NAND gates, and …read more Continue reading This Unique Flip-Flop Uses Chemistry and Lasers
A plane wing that changes shape in flight to better handle the airflow crossing it could be on the horizon thanks to a materials science advance from researchers in Stockholm. The trick involves the melting and hole-punching power of lasers.Continue Re… Continue reading Laser-based morphing could lead to self-optimizing airplane wings
How long does it take a team of rocket scientists to remove two screws? When the screws they’re working on are keeping a priceless sample of asteroid safe, it’s about …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: January 14, 2024
For two million years, a 10-feet-tall (305-cm), 660-pound (330-kg) ape towered over other fauna and thrived in its lush forest habitat, until it mysteriously vanished during the late middle Pleistocene. And until now, the extinction of Gigantopithecus … Continue reading With help of lasers, mystery of giant ‘King Kong’ ape’s demise finally solved

Back in January 2022, Samsung broke the portable projector mold with the swiveling Freestyle. LG followed suit with a similar CineBeam model last year, but bumped the resolution from HD to 4K. For CES 2024, the company has again embraced the box but is… Continue reading LG gets its style on with latest compact 4K laser projector
NASA has taken cat videos to a whole new level, with its Psyche Deep Space Optical Communications experiment beaming a 15-second high-definition clip of a playful tabby across 19 million miles (31 million km) of space to Earth.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading NASA beams cute cat video back to Earth from deep space
You wouldn’t think that shaking something in just the right way would be the recipe for creating laser light, but as [Les Wright] explains in his new video, that’s pretty …read more Continue reading Homemade Raman Laser is Shaken, Not Stirred
Diamond is a promising material for data storage, and now scientists have demonstrated a new way to cram even more data onto it, down to a single atom. The technique bypasses a physical limit by writing data to the same spots in different-colored light… Continue reading Diamond data storage breakthrough writes and rewrites down to single atom
Sure, it does less than originally promised, but hey — at least it’s more expensive. That about sums up Tesla fans’ feelings after the long-awaited Cybertruck reveal at the Texas …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: December 3, 2023
