STEM education has become a crucial part of modern learning, helping children develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and creativity through hands-on experiences. Platforms like LEGO Mindstorms and Scratch programming have made coding more accessible to young learners, offering interactive ways to understand programming concepts. While Scratch allows kids to drag and drop coding…
DIY enthusiasts have made an AI camera that, instead of displaying images, reads the images and gives a description about them. For doing so, it sends the image to an AI, which then generates a text description of the scene. The description is displayed on a small OLED screen, giving users a fresh and creative way to "see" the world through AI’s perspective. The camera comes with multiple…
A developer has built an open-source multifunctional oscilloscope by repurposing an old Android phone, a Raspberry Pi Pico, and a custom-made PCB that integrates all necessary components. The project leverages the Pico’s 0–3.3V ADC, which requires a robust analog front-end to accurately capture and condition signals.
The custom PCB…
Researchers at Princeton University, led by Felix Heide, and Arka Majumdar from the University of Washington, developed a camera that doesn’t just capture images but also identify them instantly. Resulting in 100x faster computation and drastically reducing the energy consumption.
Researchers created a new type of compact camera designed specifically for computer vision. Unlike…
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is set to invest $100 billion in advanced manufacturing facilities in the United States. The planned move responds to potential tariff threats on semiconductor imports from Taiwan, as proposed by the Donald Trump’s administration. It also aligns with the Biden administration’s CHIPS and Science Act, which seeks to…
Raspberry Pi has announced new variants of the Compute Module 4 (CM4) with an extended operating temperature range, making them suitable for more demanding environments. While Raspberry Pi devices were originally designed for education, they are now widely used in industrial and embedded applications, where they must operate reliably under extreme conditions. The standard CM4 has been…
A developer has built a laser galvo-based vector display featuring a custom signal conditioning and thermal management system that leverages a low-cost galvanometer for high-speed vector rendering. The design replaces traditional stepper motor-driven systems with a faster galvanometer that requires a ±15V drive signal. To achieve this, a custom op-amp-based amplifier…
India has started exporting electronic components used in Apple products to China and Vietnam. This move marks a significant turnaround from India’s traditional role as an importer. The parts which include mechanical components and enclosures for devices such as MacBooks, AirPods, Watches, Pencils and iPhones, support Apple’s efforts to diversify its global supply…
Thermal imaging has long been an essential tool in various industries, from detecting heat leaks in buildings to diagnosing electrical faults and even enhancing night vision in security systems. These cameras work by capturing infrared radiation and converting it into a thermal image that represents temperature variations. However, commercial thermal imaging cameras are often expensive,…
Microchip Technology has introduced the SAMA7D65 series, a new lineup of microprocessors (MPUs) designed to power advanced human-machine interface (HMI) applications. Built on the Arm Cortex-A7 core and running at speeds up to 1 GHz, these MPUs offer a balance of performance, energy efficiency, and compact design. They are available in two formats: a System-on-Chip (…
OpenAI has introduced GPT-4.5, a research preview of its most advanced GPT model. Available to ChatGPT Pro users and developers worldwide, the new model represents a significant step forward in scaling unsupervised learning. It is designed to recognize patterns, draw connections and generate creative insights without relying on complex reasoning. This release marks…
Arduino has shared the ML Magic Wand project as a demonstration of its Nano Matter board, showcasing how machine learning can turn a simple wand-like device into a gesture-controlled smart home interface. This project enables users to execute specific gestures to control smart home applications, removing the need for traditional input methods.
