Collaborate Disseminate
[RCLifeOn] happened to come into possession of some radioactive uranium ore. He thus decided to build a cloud chamber to visualize the products of radioactive decay in a pleasing visual …read more Continue reading Building a DIY Cloud Chamber
[Sergii] has been learning about robot simulation and wrote up a basic simulator for a robodog platform: the Unitree A1. It only took about 800 lines of code to do …read more Continue reading Browser-Based Robot Dog Simulator in ~800 Lines of Code
The very fabric of spacetime is constantly warping, on unimaginably tiny scales, as ripples from past cataclysms wash over us. Astrophysicists have now detected a background sea of gravitational waves, using a galaxy-scale detector made up of dead star… Continue reading Galactic-scale detector picks up background distortions in spacetime
Smart textiles and patches are coming in thick and fast, from wound-monitoring and healing bandages, to heartrate-measuring thread woven into fabric. The latest in this burgeoning field of medical therapies is one that impressively keeps an eye on your… Continue reading Self-powering patch can monitor muscle moves and it costs less than $3
Beer and peanuts have been a match made in heaven for so long it’s hard to pinpoint just when the holy union came about. It was made commercially official in the US in 1937, with the rather ingenious branding of Beer Nuts, and for almost as long scient… Continue reading The reason peanuts ‘dance’ in beer (we know you want to know)
A team of researchers led by Ohio University Professor of Physics Saw Wai Hla has captured the first X-ray “image” of a single atom, allowing scientists to study materials and their chemical states with greater resolution than ever before.Continue Read… Continue reading Quantum needle snaps first X-ray image of a single atom
A report released this week suggests that 50 flights into its five-flight schedule, the Mars helicopter might be starting to show its age. The report details a protracted communications outage …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: June 4, 2023
To make the United States self-sufficient in rare exotic elements, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a latest generation electromagnetic isotope separator (EMIS) to harvest stable isotopes across the entire periodic table.Continue … Continue reading Next-gen separator harvests rare stable isotopes from heavier elements
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but an animation, then, must be worth a million. Make that animation interactive, and… well, we don’t know how many words …read more Continue reading The Bicycle (and More) Explained
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+
