Sometimes a clever hack of an off-the-shelf product can come courtesy of its dismantling and hardware modification, but at other times the most elegant of hacks can be made without ever turning a screwdriver. [Brian Lough] was given the request by a friend to replicate a commercial child’s night light that changed colour with temperature, […]

Unique stretchable electroluminescent stopwatch that sits on the skin like a tattoo has been developed providing an easy way to monitor data from the back of your hand. New research into alternating-current electroluminescent (ACEL) display technology has taken the concept one step closer to reality. While most displays require well over 100VAC to produce sufficient brightness, scientists

Have you ever wished that slot machines dispensed money as easily as an ATM? Well so did [Scotty Allen] from Strange Parts, so in collaboration with his friend [Matt] decided to combine the two. After a four-month journey fraught with magic smoke and frustration, they managed to build a fully functional ATM slot machine. The basic
