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.

Meta AI has introduced Brain2Qwerty, a new artificial intelligence system that converts brain signals into text without the need for surgery. The system uses non-invasive methods including electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) to record brain activity. In the study, healthy volunteers memorized sentences and then typed them on a QWERTY…
Telescopes are essential for astronomers, allowing them to observe stars and planets with clarity. While commercial telescopes offer advanced tracking features, DIY telescope projects give enthusiasts with a deeper understanding of their mechanics, allowing for custom optimizations and cost-effective solutions.
This DIY project,…
An open-source hardware enthusiast has shared their latest project, a 3D-printed, Arduino-powered Wall-E replica. This personal project, in development for over a year and a half, brings the iconic character to life with functional tracks, movable arms, hands, head, and sound capabilities.
Technical OverviewThe robot is powered by two Arduino boards, controlling various mechanical and…
An open-source hardware developer has shared an innovative project repurposing his old vacuum cleaning robot, demonstrating how to transform a Roomba Vacuum Cleaner into a programmable robot using microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi Pico and ESP32-S3. This project highlights the value of deconstructing existing devices to understand and control them through coding…
As human-like emotions and behaviors continue to shape humanoid robotics, a team of researchers is taking a different approach, bringing expressive movements to non-humanoid robots. They are giving emotion-like gestures to these robots to bring in stronger connections with the users, making robotic interaction feel more natural and engaging.
Researchers working under the Apple Machine…
Braemac, a global semiconductor distributor has announced a partnership with MediaTek to expand the distribution of MediaTek’s Genio and IoT development platforms in Australia and New Zealand. This move is planned to meet the growing demand for smart and IoT-enabled devices in the region. The collaboration brings together Braemac’s strong market presence and MediaTek…
New TPSMB-L Series Automotive TVS Diodes has been launched by Littlefuse specifically designed for Battery Management Systems (BMS) in 800V electric vehicles (EVs). They provide low clamping voltage (Vcl), offering superior protection for sensitive components like analog front End (AFE) ICs and Battery Management ICs (BMICs).
The TPSMB-L Series ensures functional safety compliance with…
Automating your home makes everyday tasks easy to manage and saves time. Here a creator has built a fully automated voice-controlled window blind that works without WiFi or cloud services. As a result, the maker was able to create a simple yet effective home automation project that seamlessly integrates voice recognition into everyday life.
At the heart of this project is a 42mm NEMA 17…
MAVOCO, a Vienna-based IoT Connectivity Management Software company has successfully closed its Series-A+ funding round by raising €11 million in equity from both existing shareholders and new investors. The funding round was led by 3TS Capital Partners, red-stars.com and other strategic investors. This new investment marks an important step for the company as it…
