Report of discovery of large object in far outer edges of solar system incites skeptical reactions
Posted on: 11 Dec 2015
(Phys.org)—Two separate teams of researchers (one from Mexico, the other Sweden), have incited skepticism among the astronomy community by posting papers on the preprint server arXiv each describing a different large object they observed in the outer edges of the solar system. Both teams made their observations after reviewing data from ALMA—a cluster of radio dishes in the Chilean mountains.

While trying to open a chinese camera pen, unfortunately the PCB inside it got damaged. Few of the PCB traces got cut and it became useless. After few days, I removed an 8 pin IC with SO8 package from the PCB. I was curious to know what it is, so I googled the part number […]
The Texas PRU Cape
Posted on: 10 Dec 2015
In a bid to encourage greater use of TI’s Programmable Real-time Unit (PRU) built into the Sitara AM335x and AM437x family of devices which power the BeagleBone Black development board Texas have announced the PRU cape. The PRU is made up of dual 200 MHz coprocessors, implementing a low-latency subsystem optimized for deterministic, real-time processing allowing […]
Effective, selective tweets can advance research from lab to policymakers
Posted on: 10 Dec 2015
Many science researchers struggle with translating their research findings to legislative policies and health practices, causing the majority of new findings to remain largely inside the scientific community. With more than 300 million monthly users, Twitter’s success has piqued the interests of many science researchers as a possible tool to publicize new research findings
Headless Ghost – HDMI emulator
Posted on: 09 Dec 2015
About this project It fixes a problem you probably didn’t even know you had – unlocking the full potential of your graphics card hardware. By simulating the presence of an attached display, Headless Ghost allows you to use all of the power and available resolutions locked away inside your graphics hardware, which might otherwise be […]
Researchers develop tool to determine function of MicroRNAs
Posted on: 09 Dec 2015
As microRNA biology has been implicated in everything from the development of cancer to virus infections, a new tool developed by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai holds tremendous potential to develop new therapies that involve these small regulatory fragments of RNA. The scientists’ findings are detailed in a study, titled “MicroRNA Function is Limited to Cytokine Control in the Acute Response to Virus Infection,” published in the December issue of Cell Host & Microbe
Self-setting Digital Plate Counter Based on ICStation ATMEGA2560
Posted on: 09 Dec 2015
ICStation Team introduce you this Self-setting Digital Plate Counter with ICStation ATMEGA2560. The digital plate counter works under DC5V. This system makes use of the infrared correlation sensor to collect information of the times that the object passed. The information will display on the 4bit Digital Tube after being analyzed and handled by ICStation Mega. […]
Audio Power Amplifier with TDA2050
Posted on: 08 Dec 2015
Description This is not an ordinary project, but an attempt to make a PCB that is suitable for TDA2050 and LM1875 and has all the necessary circuitry on board – power supply, speaker protection, delayed turn-on and fast turn-off. This is achieved using the convenient uPC1237 IC. TDA2050 and LM1875 are pin to pin compatible, […]
Swimming bacteria, sperm increase speed through ‘corridors’ of low viscosity fluid
Posted on: 08 Dec 2015
New research findings are yielding insights into the physics behind the swimming behavior of bacteria and spermatozoa that could lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms affecting fertility and formation of bacterial biofilms that foul everything from implantable medical devices to industrial pipes.
Cities support a greater number of threatened species than non-urban areas
Posted on: 07 Dec 2015
The earth is facing a catastrophic species extinction crisis. The dominant approach to conservation has been to focus on protecting pristine environments, but new research from Australia demonstrates that on average, urban environments contain disproportionately more threatened protected species in a given area than non-urban environments.
