Reverse-engineering lithography machines—the equipment on which advanced computer chips are manufactured—is not as straightforward as copying most industrial designs. In the race between innovators ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. (Nanowerk News) ...

We would have enjoyed [Harishankar’s] tear down of a robot vacuum cleaner, even if it didn’t have a savage twist at the end. Turns out, the company deliberately bricked his smart vacuum. Like many of ...

We’re tracking Valve’s rebooted hardware plans in this Verge StoryStream. And if you want to know how we got here, it also ...

Your kid has a toy remote control fire truck. You have an RTL SDR. See where this is going? [Jacob] couldn’t resist tearing into the why and how of the truck’s remote control protocol. The entire ...

These teacher-tested activities use free or familiar tools to help students think critically, create meaningfully, and ...

Operating massive reverse proxy fleets reveals hard lessons: optimizations that work on smaller systems fail at scale; mundane oversights like missing commas cause major outages; and abstractions ...
