Shooting Star — An addictive “Shooting the Star” game with random stars dropping, multiple difficulty levels, sound effects and bonus points. A1. Executive Summary Shooting Star is a challenging video game, where we utilize Sega Genesis controller to control a space shuttle that is moving horizontally across the bottom of the screen and shooting at […]

(Phys.org) —A geochemical analysis of prehistoric stone artifacts has revealed that Tonga was once the hub of a Pacific trading empire as large as 500,000 square kilometers. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Geoffrey Clarke of Australian National University and his team analyzed Tongan stone artifacts and found that two-thirds of them came from outside Tonga, one from as far as 2,500 kilometers away

Introduction In this project we created a video blackjack machine using AT90S8535. In our previous labs we have gained familiarity with the 8-bit AVR microcontroller and the UART interface to transmit to and receive from a terminal. Our blackjack machine outputs text to the terminal through the UART, and at the same time accepts input […]

Introduction Project Summary Our project is an expandable bar inventory system that implements wireless communication. The bar inventory system was an interesting project, because it involved both hardware and software together, since we are comprised of one analog designer and one computer programmer, both of whom are alcoholics.  On the hardware side, there are sensors […]

Overview: We decided to build transmitter and receiver modules for a radio-controlled (RC) car, as well as implement variable-speed motor control and a continuous steering function.  The simple speed controls included in most RC kits seldom offer more than three forward speeds and one reverse speed; furthermore, steering controls in most “Radio Shack” toys only […]

Introduction Every group wants their final project to be something that will be remembered long after they’re gone. Some do highly sophisticated and complex projects that entail upwards of a hundred hours to complete. Yet others go out of their way to develop something ‘cool’ and ‘fun’. Luke and I decided that we wanted to […]

Overview: This project involves the implementation of control and monitor for dual processes. The variables monitored are pressure and temperature. The input control is a 16 button keypad and the output is monitored in a 16 character LCD The device can be widely deployed as a cheap solution to room and automobile climate control automation. […]

When a massive star dies, it can collapse under its own gravity with such force that it produces a supernova, leaving behind an extremely dense remnant consisting almost entirely of neutrons—a neutron star. Some neutron stars, known as magnetars, possess powerful magnetic fields, which are stronger than any other known magnetism in the Universe.

(Phys.org) —Cholera against cholera: a novel inhibitor prevents the cholera toxin from binding to carbohydrates found on the surface of intestinal cells. An international team of researchers has described their elegant concept in the journal Angewandte Chemie: The protein scaffold of the inhibitor is based on an inactive cholera toxin

(Phys.org) —Researchers have developed a way for superconducting quantum chips to talk to each other over large distances through an optical fibre, allowing quantum entanglement or teleportation – both key steps towards building a truly global quantum internet via a quantum repeater.
