An innovative maker has designed a fully functional wireless mouse in the form of a ring, offering a unique alternative to traditional mice. Instead of physical buttons, this device utilizes proximity sensors for left and right clicks, enabling a touch-free interaction method. The compact design is achieved using repurposed components from a previous wireless mouse…
The Indian Institute of Technology Madras and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have developed and booted an indigenous SHAKTI‐based semiconductor chip. This effort is a major step in India’s drive for self‐reliance in advanced semiconductor technology. The project is led by Professor V. Kamakoti at the Prathap Subrahmanyam Centre for Digital Intelligence…
Ben Caunt, from Warm Automation, has showcased his new open-source project that allows robots to detect and track objects in real time using Moondream AI and OpenCV. The project, called MoondreamObjectTracking, combines AI-based object detection with optical flow tracking to follow objects efficiently. It works by capturing video from a webcam, identifying objects using Moondream’s vision…
Losing a device can be frustrating, but services like Google’s Find My Device and Apple’s Find My make it easier to track lost items using their vast networks of connected devices. These services leverage encrypted location data to help users find missing smartphones, tablets, and even third-party trackers, offering a seamless and secure way to retrieve lost belongings. Previously, we explored…
US-based semiconductor equipment supplier Lam Research has announced a Rs 10,000 crore investment in India. This major investment was confirmed by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and is seen as a significant step in strengthening the country’s semiconductor sector. The move supports the government’s plans to build a robust manufacturing and design hub for…

Powered by the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, LockyFi provides a reliable solution for controlling appliances remotely. It can operate both AC and DC devices safely using opto-…
Eating is a basic daily activity, but for people with mobility challenges, it can be difficult to feed themselves. To help with this, a team of researchers came up with the Kiri-Spoon, a special 3D-printed spoon made from a flexible, paper-thin plastic sheet. When in use, the spoon expands into a small bowl that secures food inside. This simple yet clever design…
A YouTuber has shared a tutorial on building an FPV (First-Person View) aircraft designed for high-speed flights exceeding 220 km/h (138 mph). This RC plane features a foam board construction with swept wings, inspired by legendary aviation designs like the Bell L39 AAC Cobra and P-51R Mustang (Miss Ashley 2).
The airframe is built…
Vishay Intertechnology has launched the MCB RAIK060, a high-precision inductive position sensor designed for industrial and AMS (automotive, marine, and aerospace) applications. This sensor is thinner, lighter, and faster than traditional magnetic-based solutions, making it a great fit for applications working in demanding environments.
