MIT researchers have built working logic circuits using engineered bacteria, creating biological versions of components that electronics engineers would normally associate with transistors, relays and digital logic. The work uses Pantoea agglomerans, a bacterium that commonly grows on surfaces, including plants. The researchers modified the cells so they could function as two types of…
TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda DDSM 120 W and 240 W programmable DC-DC converters. These products feature a wide input and output voltage range with an isolated design. The DDSM series also offers remote control and real time monitoring via Modbus over USB using the PowerCMC control and monitoring center. In addition, a…
YouTube creator Zac Builds has modified a Nintendo 64 by combining several hardware upgrades aimed at making the nearly 30-year-old console more practical to use with modern displays and accessories. The project retains the original N64 motherboard while adding a RetroGEM HDMI modification, USB-C-based power delivery, internal wireless controller support, CPU overclocking and improved cooling…
Kerala-based robotics firm Genrobotics has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Tamil Nadu government to set up a manufacturing facility for its robotics product line, with plans to invest ₹150 crore over the next five years. The MoU was inked at the Vettri Tamil Nadu Investment Conclave 2026, held in Chennai, where the state government signed agreements with 97 companies for a…
A team of engineering students from ETH Zürich has developed POLARIS, an autonomous underwater robot designed to measure and map the thickness of ice from underneath frozen alpine lakes. The idea is to make ice surveys safer and faster, especially in places where people need to know whether the ice is strong enough for activities such as racing or other work on frozen lakes. Traditionally, ice…
Researchers at Duke University's General Robotics Lab have built a system that lets one drone follow another using nothing but the sound of its rotors. The project, called SonicFly, estimates a leader drone's bearing and distance from onboard audio alone, without GPS sharing, cameras, radio links, or any active signal exchange between the two aircraft.

A Sweden-based creator who posts under the name Food For Robots has hand-wound and machined a custom electric actuator from scratch for a bipedal walking robot project, and in the process documented a counterintuitive result about motor design: adding more turns of copper wire to a motor's stator does not increase torque output for a given amount of electrical power.

The Space CSAC-SA65 combines atomic-clock accuracy with built-in 1 PPS disciplining and low-power consumption
CHANDLER, Ariz., Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The growing New Space market is fueling demand for smaller, less expensive space hardware to support short-duration missions for applications such as satellite-to-cellular…
MALVERN, Pa. — Aug. 11, 2026 — Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE: VSH) today introduced a new series of AC line rated ceramic disc safety capacitors with a Y1 rating of 300 VAC and 1500 VDC in a surface-mount casing. Designed for EMI / RFI suppression and filtering in industrial environments, the Vishay BCcomponents SMDY1…S series reduces board space requirements by…
A new desktop machine called PewCB One wants to bring PCB fabrication into the same room as the engineer designing it. Instead of exporting a design and waiting on a fab house, PewCB One promises to turn Gerber files into a populated double-sided circuit board without leaving your desk.
The system is built around a 20 W, 1064 nm pulsed laser that…
THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., USA — DigiKey, the global distribution leader of electronic components and automation products, is hosting a webinar with Shawn Hymel: “Train a balance bot with reinforcement learning,” scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, at 10 a.m. CDT. The free 90-minute virtual event will be a hands-on robotics and AI workshop that will teach attendees how to get started in the…
Maker Joe C-J has repurposed four discarded Lenovo ThinkPad L380 laptops into a working, self-hosted AI computing cluster, capable of running large language models entirely offline. Each of the four motherboards was stripped from its laptop chassis and mounted into a custom 3D-printed frame, designed in Fusion and reprinted to accommodate a fourth node after an earlier three-node version…
