Make A Tiny TV For Your Cat Because That’s Awesome
Becky Stern really brought a fun project to the world with this one. It’s basically a tiny youtube player, but by tuning into a channel with footage of birds, she made a little TV just for her cat. As usual, Becky shares a full step-by-step on.....»»
Paper offers a mathematical approach to modeling a random walker moving across a random landscape
Tiny particles like pollen grains move constantly, pushed and pulled by environmental forces. To study this motion, physicists use a "random walk" model—a system in which every step is determined by a random process. Random walks are useful for stu.....»»
Researchers devise new ways to engineer carbon-based semiconductors for electronics of the future
It might look like a roll of chicken wire, but this tiny cylinder of carbon atoms—too small to see with the naked eye—could one day be used for making electronic devices ranging from night vision goggles and motion detectors to more efficient sol.....»»
