In this post, it’s shown the operation of integrated circuit 4017, from CMOS family. In addition to some projects which are possible to make with this chip.
Lost tectonic plate found
In the Pacific Ocean, next to North America, was discovered a tectonic plate, which many geophysicists didn’t believe in its existence.
Introduction to LTE
This post subject is LTE, which is the abbreviature of Long Term Evolution. It’s the current technology of mobile telephone.
The first room-temperature superconductor
Was discovered a material which becomes a superconductor at 15ºC, after more than a century of search.
Memristor and memristence
This post’s subject is the memristor, the fourth fundamental passive electronic component, alongside resistor, capacitor, and coil.
Earth-sized rogue planet
Was discovered a rogue planet (without a star to orbit) with a mass approximately equal to Earth wandering through the galaxy.
An electronic component as an artificial neuron
Was created the first electronic component which alone behaves like a neuron.
What are the Lagrange points?
The Lagrange points were described in 1772, by the mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange, in his paper “Essay on the Three-Body Problem”.
Chitin: Construction material for Mars?
A new study suggests using chitin to build structures and tools on Mars, for future colonies on the red planet.
Why is the system three-phase?
Why is the production, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy system three-phase, instead of single-phase? Let’s find out in this post.
