Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an rc airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or lm 555 IC) this circuit is very easy to make with few components and most ...

Streetlights are coming to the pitch-dark corridors of Melrose Park, ending a long-running debate that started decades ago in the predominantly Black neighborhood in western Fort Lauderdale.

[Tito] entered a Self-Charging LED Flasher into the Component Abuse Challenge. It’s a simple re-build of a design by the unstoppable [Burkhard Kainka], and while [Tito] doesn’t explain its workings in ...

A novel near-sensor edge computing system integrates aluminum nitride (AlN) microrings for photonic feature extraction and Si Mach–Zehnder interferometers for photonic neural network operations, ...

Ising machines demonstrate significant potential to tackle computationally complex challenges, including combinatorial optimization problems related to logistics, manufacturing, finance, and AI. The ...

These days, if you want to flash some LEDs, you’d probably grab a microcontroller. Maybe you’d go a little more old-school, and grab a 555. However, [Jacob] is even more hardcore than that, as ...

A new technical paper titled “Advanced Optical Integration Processes for Photonic-Integrated Circuit Packaging” was published by researchers at Hanyang University. “This review discusses the latest ...

Boy, do I wish I had been at this dinner. For decades, Microsoft and Linux fought like cats and dogs. However, while the conflict has cooled down, and Microsoft loves Linux these days, the two leaders ...

This project features a custom 3D-printed 'Mortal Kombat' trophy shell paired with a basic NE555 timer circuit in 'astable mode', producing a smooth 'breathing' LED effect—mimicking the gentle pulse ...

A new technical paper titled “Generative AI for Analog Integrated Circuit Design: Methodologies and Applications” was published by researchers at McMaster University. “Electronic Design Automation ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...
