Seven Atoms, One Quantum Leap
Researchers have made a bound cluster of seven rubidium atoms tunnel as a single quantum object, creating a spatial Schrödinger-cat state. The result opens a new route toward precision measurements…
From Drone Racing to Racing From Drones
How Hobbyists Accidentally Fueled the Future of Warfare I remember watching the highlights from the Drone Racing League years ago. Pilots, hunched over their controllers, wearing bulky goggles that transported…
Stone Engineering
The Neolithic builders of the Menga dolmen in Spain, constructed nearly 6,000 years ago, exhibited a practical understanding of physics in their construction methods, even without formal scientific knowledge .…
ITER engineers: the lost stars
It is in the news that the ITER project is facing delays once again. This provides an opportunity to share a short anecdote from the early days of my involvement…
Move Beyond Raspberry Pi and Arduino: Embrace the Power of System on Chips and FPGAs
While Raspberry Pi and Arduino are fantastic tools for beginners and hobbyists, those looking to explore more advanced projects should consider System on Chips (SoCs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays…
