Homemade singing ATMEGA128
Posted on: 30 Oct 2015
Hello guys, After experimenting with 8 octave tone generator, Now, I’m continuing on creating a singing ATMEGA128 Let’s get started, no more delay…. Step 1: Prepare all the parts needed… Let’s prepare the part we need, 1. ATMEGA128 2. The board itself, I created my own PCB for it 3. Speaker, 4. LM386 5 ATMEGA8 […]
What drives people to spend hours commuting to and from work?
Posted on: 30 Oct 2015
There is indeed a glamorous side to the star performer who “spends half his life in the air between New York and Singapore.” Then there is the reality of people who spend two hours every day in a train, bus or car. Sociologists call them ‘highly mobile’ people, whether or not they choose to commute so far and regardless of whether this brings them a big paycheck or career success
Spirals in dust around young stars may betray presence of massive planets
Posted on: 29 Oct 2015
A team of astronomers is proposing that huge spiral patterns seen around some newborn stars, merely a few million years old (about one percent our sun’s age), may be evidence for the presence of giant unseen planets. This idea not only opens the door to a new method of planet detection, but also could offer a look into the early formative years of planet birth.
Streamlined import of specimen and occurrence records into taxonomic manuscripts
Posted on: 29 Oct 2015
Substantial amount of documented occurrence records is awaiting publication stored in repositories and data indexing platforms, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF), Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD Systems), or Integrated Digitized Biocollections (iDigBio).
Battery mystery solved: Microscopy answers longstanding questions about lithium-rich transition…
Posted on: 29 Oct 2015
Using complementary microscopy and spectroscopy techniques, researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) say they have solved the structure of lithium- and manganese-rich transition metal oxides, a potentially game-changing battery material and the subject of intense debate in the decade since it was discovered.
Scientists call for ambitious program to unlock the power of Earth’s microbial communities
Posted on: 28 Oct 2015
A consortium of 48 scientists from 50 institutions in the United States has called for an ambitious research effort to understand and harness microbiomes – the communities of microorganisms that inhabit ecosystems as varied as the human gut and the ocean, to improve human health, agriculture, bioenergy, and the environment.
Speech Synthesis on Atmega128
Posted on: 28 Oct 2015
I had this one project where the device was supposed to speak out the output. And I was too Lazy to actually go and build a PC based application and not that lazy to make it on a micro controller. So here is some of my research where i am gonna show you how to […]
Researchers show how side-channel attacks can be used to steal encryption keys on Amazon’s cloud…
Posted on: 28 Oct 2015
Researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have demonstrated that RSA encryption keys, which are used by thousands of companies and organizations to protect the data and processes they entrust to cloud-based services, can be obtained using a sophisticated side-channel attack—despite recent efforts by cloud service providers and cryptography software developers to eliminate such vulnerabilities.
PhD student stumbles upon a new way for producing oldest chemical compounds
Posted on: 27 Oct 2015
A chemistry PhD student from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has found a simple way for the first time of producing two chemical compounds that were first discovered in late 19th century, entirely by accident. The discovery could have implications for fighting disease and growing crops, where the sulfur containing compounds called sultones and sultines, play a significant role.
Standalone Atmega328
Posted on: 26 Oct 2015
We all have a deep fondness to our Arduino with its familiar shades of blue/green, but the time has come to explore other project options. One that involve fewer pieces, fewer parts, and fewer dollars. Building a standalone Atmega328 is far simpler than you might have imagined and can open up a wide range of […]
