The team engineered the bacterium Pseudomonas putida to convert polyethylene terephthalate, a main class of single-use plastics found in containers like water bottles, into pyruvate, a molecule that ...

When I first encountered the concept of programmable money, I realized we weren’t just looking at an incremental upgrade to payments—we were witnessing the beginning of a complete re-architecture of ...

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are more than just a digital version of cash; they represent a fundamental shift in how monetary policy, payments, and economic inclusion are imagined. At the ...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and their collaborators have created a new class of programmable soft materials that can absorb impacts like never before, while also ...

While having powerful projectiles is one important aspect of an effective military attack, one with greater precision is arguably more potent. With the advancement of smaller electronics, more ...

The TL431 has been around for nearly 50 years. During those decades, while primarily marketed as a precision adjustable shunt regulator, this legacy device also found its way into alternative ...

Tachometry, the measurement of the speed of spin of rotating objects, is a common application. Some of those objects, however, have quirky aspects that make them extra interesting, even scary. One ...

Abstract: Indirect measurement architecture for speed estimation has been presented in this paper. This system is based on neural estimator implemented on programmable system on-chip (PSoC), using C++ ...
