Today’s subject is Raman spectroscopy. A very used technique in physics, chemistry, and biology to analyze materials’ molecular structure.
Recreated the Antikythera mechanism
The Antikythera mechanism was built more than 2000 years ago, considered the first analog computer, was recreated by researchers of UCL.
High energy antimatter particle in Antarctica

Amazonia-1: the Brazilian observation satellite
The Amazonia-1 is the first Earth observation satellite totally developed in Brazil. Its mission is to detect and monitor deforestation in the Amazon.
PRAM: transmitting electricity through satellites
Scientists have made tests with solar panels, which can transmit electric energy from space to Earth. The panels received the name PRAM.
Shift register
The shift register is useful for increase the number of the microcontroller’s output terminals and to convert parallel binary data in serial and vice-versa.
