Although jet engines are theoretically quite simple devices, in reality they tread a fine line between working as intended and vaporizing into a cloud of lethal shrapnel. The main reason for this ...

We live in a golden age for MIDI controllers. [rheslip]’s contribution to the milieu is a twisty take on the format, in that it’s covered in an array of knobs. Thus the name—Twisty 2.

Abstract: This paper proposes an absolute positioning method for distance encoding by fusing reference signals with incremental signals. Reference marks with extinction characteristics are embedded in ...

PFAS are forever chemicals that do not degrade in the environment. They enter soil and water, accumulate in plants, animals and humans, and can be harmful to health. The problem: Until now, detecting ...

To make the iPhone as capable as it is, Apple equipped it with several sensors. One of these is the LiDAR scanner. LiDAR — short for Light Detection and Ranging — is a sensor that essentially measures ...

On Dec. 3, 2025, Ethereum will activate the Fusaka upgrade on mainnet, its second major hard fork of the year after Pectra in May. Rollups now carry the bulk of Ethereum transactions and fee revenue, ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

The SQUIRE project is taking quantum sensing into space, using advanced spin sensors aboard the China Space Station to search for mysterious exotic interactions that may reshape our understanding of ...

iC-Haus presents the iC-MUE, a new product development in the field of magnetic position sensors. This highly integrated, absolute, system-on-chip encoder has been specially designed for hollow shaft ...

Armed police handcuffed and searched a student at a high school in Baltimore County, Maryland, this week after an AI-driven security system flagged the teen’s empty bag of chips as a possible firearm.

The ram air turbine, used when electrical power or hydraulic pressure fails, was deployed during an Air India flight that landed safely over the weekend. The same system had been activated during a ...
