Flat microscope for the brain could help restore lost eyesight
Posted on: 27 May 2018
HOUSTON – (July 12, 2017) – Rice University engineers are building a flat microscope, called FlatScope TM, and developing software that can decode and trigger neurons on the surface of the brain. Their goal as part of a new government initiative is to provide an alternate path for sight and sound to be delivered directly […]
Next Generation Solar Cell That Can Capture Nearly All Energy of Solar Spectrum
Posted on: 25 May 2018
Researchers developed a multijunction solar cell on a GaSb substrate that can efficiently convert the long-wavelength photons typically lost in a multijunction solar cell into electricity. This prototype cell has an efficiency of 44.5% which is higher than conventional solar cells. A GaAs-based cell is stacked mechanically with the GaSb-based materials to create a four-terminal, […]
The Aurora Boxealis – A Color Sensing and Mirroring Project
Posted on: 25 May 2018
Introduction Besides looking damned good on an otherwise bland and ordinary desk, this project is about more than just being attention grabbing eye candy. It’s about demonstrating a small portion of our single board computer capabilities by hooking up a color sensor, RGB light strip, and enclosing it in a nice looking wooden enclosure. We’re […]
Carrageenan, a seaweed derivative, can stabilize lithium-sulfur batteries surprisingly
Posted on: 23 May 2018
Lithium-sulfur batteries are suitable for both vehicle and grid applications as they are ultra-cheap, high-energy devices. Sulfur is a very low-cost material and the energy capacity is much higher than that of lithium-ion. So, lithium-sulfur is one chemistry that can possibly meet the demand for energy storage at a cheap price. However, the serious problem is, lithium-sulfur […]
A New Material For Unbreakable Smart Devices
Posted on: 21 May 2018
Most of smartphones parts are made of silicons and other compounds, which are expensive and easily-breakable. This problem is making all of smart devices manufacturers looking for stronger and cheaper solutions. By combining a set of materials, a group of researchers have successfully discovered a new material which could finally finish the disaster of cracked smartphone […]
Power factor measurement using Atmel AVR Micro-Controllers
Posted on: 18 May 2018
To learn about the power factor measurement, you should have a basic knowledge of power factor. There are three types of loads. Resistive Inductive Capacitive When we apply AC voltage to resistive loads it will not change the current wave form. But inductive loads will force to lag the current waveform and in the case […]
ARM-Android open source platform for Linaro By Huawei
Posted on: 18 May 2018
A development platform for the Android open source project (AOSP) has been created by Huawei. The ARM-based hardware is part of the Linaro open source collaborative engineering organization developing software for the ARM ecosystem. Recently, Huawei has launched the HiKey 960 96Boards development platform to provide access to the latest ARM mobile technology for AOSP developers. Fortunately, You […]
Auto No Break Power Supply Control
Posted on: 16 May 2018
The major aim of this no break power supply project is to supply continuous energy supply to a load, by picking the supply from any spring out of the four like – generator, mains, inverter and solar robotically in the lack of any of the spring. The demand for power is raising day by day […]
