When the subject of CVTs or continuously variable transmissions comes up, the chances are that most readers will think of the various motor vehicles they’ve appeared in. Whether it’s a …read more Continue reading A CVT For Every Application
No matter how far down the 3D printing rabbit hole we descend, chances are pretty good that most of us won’t ever need to move filament from one spool to …read more Continue reading Clever Mechanism Powers This All-Mechanical Filament Respooler
A “Check Engine” light on your dashboard could mean anything from a loose gas cap to a wallet-destroying repair in the offing. For [Dean Segovis], his CEL was indicating a …read more Continue reading Replace Your Automatic Transmission With a Bunch of Relays
A small satellite developed by MIT engineers has set a new record for data transmission between a satellite and Earth. The TeraByte InfraRed Delivery (TBIRD) system used a laser to beam huge amounts of data at up to 100 gigabits per second (Gbps).Conti… Continue reading Laser satellite shatters space-to-Earth data transmission speed record
Engineers have set a new speed record for data transmission through a standard diameter optical fiber. By beaming 55 “modes” of signals down a single-core optical fiber, the team was able to transmit at a data rate of 1.53 petabits per second (Pbit/s)…. Continue reading Speed record shattered for data transmission over standard optical fiber
We’ve all heard of the smoke test, and we know that it’s the lowest possible bar for performance of an electronic device. If it doesn’t burst into flames when power …read more Continue reading Homebrew Optical Sensor Helps Your Diesel Pass the Smoke Test
Researchers in Japan have clocked a new speed record for data transmission – a blistering 1.02 petabits per second (Pb/s). Better yet, the breakthrough was achieved using optical fiber cables that should be compatible with existing infrastructure.Conti… Continue reading Blistering data transmission record clocks over 1 petabit per second
New research published in Nature Medicine has found COVID-19 vaccination can reduce a person’s infectious viral load. The study compared the infectiousness of different SARS-CoV-2 variants between vaccinated and unvaccinated subjects.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading mRNA vaccination found to reduce COVID-19 infectious viral load
French company Valeo is a vast and formidable entity doing some 20 billion euros’ worth of business as a global automotive parts supplier, so when it announced in 2020 that it was planning to revolutionize the ebike world, people sat up and listened.Co… Continue reading 14 ebike manufacturers take on Valeo’s impressive auto-shift drive unit
Despite the best efforts of scientists around the world, the current global pandemic continues onward. But even if you aren’t working on a new vaccine or trying to curb the …read more Continue reading Fight Disease With A Raspberry Pi
