The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) just awarded nearly $975,000 to Charles Paillard, a University of Arkansas research professor of physics and director of the Smart Ferroic Materials Center, to study aluminum scandium nitride at the…

https://youtu.be/2vqo7aIhK4c In this episode of Improvised Engineering, John Gabay walks you through the process of building a DIY coil winder with an accumulator to track your windings. This project is perfect for inductors,…

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Sikorsky a $6 million contract to integrate an autonomous flight system onto the UH-60M Black Hawk to experiment with AI-enabled operations. Sikorsky will add its MATRIX autonomy…

Maximizing software reuse and simplifying network configuration and integration are the goals of NXP's new S32J family of high-performance switches (80Gbps). Sharing a common switch core with NXP S32 processing devices, the switches will…

Palm ID, a new technology announced by the UAE, uses unique vein patterns in individuals' palms for financial transactions. An effort by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs, and Port Security (ICP) and the Central Bank…

Osaka Metropolitan University and University of Tokyo scientists successfully used light to visualize tiny magnetic regions, or magnetic domains, in a specialized quantum material. They also manipulated these regions using an electric…

In competition, as in life, there are times when things don’t go according to plan, and the Circuit Showdown is no different. It is how we react to challenges that help define us. After a day filled with setbacks and last-minute…

You need an expensive super-resolution microscope in your lab but can't afford it. Now what? A new technique allows scientists to image nanoscale structures inside cells without using the traditional high-end microscope. MIT researchers…

UC Santa Barbara researchers created a first-ever “movie” of electric charges traveling across the interface of two different semiconductor materials. Employing scanning ultrafast electron (SUEM) techniques developed in the Bolin Liao lab,…

In this video, Jon Gabay demonstrates a technique for controlling high voltage and high current loads with low voltage control signals. Instead of using traditional electromechanical relays, which can wear out over time, he'll use an…
