The common magnetic loudspeaker is, fundamentally, a fairly simple machine. A static magnetic field is generated by a permanent magnet, and a membrane is mechanically connected to a coil. When a varying electrical current is passed through the coil, this causes the coil to move due to the magnetic field, vibrating the membrane and producing
A team of researchers from the US and South Korea reported a unique type of NanoLEDs with unprecedented brightness levels, that excess 80,000 cd/m2, and also can operate both as light emitters and light detectors. These new LEDs are about 50nm long and 6nm in diameter. As described in the paper, they included quantum dots
When you connect a microcontroller to a sensor, display, or other module, do you ever think about how the two devices talk to each other? What exactly are they saying? How are they able to understand each other? Communication between electronic devices is like communication between humans. Both sides need to speak the same language. In electronics, these languages are
The YouTube channel DIY Builder has published and created a DIY Arduino laser engraver which is powered by an Arduino Nano development board and is fitted with a 200-250mW 650nm Laser Module. Check out the video below to learn more about the DIY Arduino laser engraver constructed using the innards from an old PC DVD player. A

Normally -according to the Ohm’s law– when the applied voltage is increasing, the current is increasing too, however some components can break this law. When the voltage increases, current decreases. This is called negative resistance. One of the most know element that exhibits this behavior is a tunnel diode. Once very promising, today it isn’t
Everyone believes the future is going to be bright and a lot are betting that smart devices of the future will have the ability to self-adapt to its environment and that’s why some are backing on Cognitive Radios which are Software Defined Radios with AI. Our world is becoming crowded with several smart devices, and the explosion of
