This is really exciting to see. I really want to understand the lifetime numbers as Perovskite is traditionally short lived (super efficient, but nowhere near as stable as silicon). Located in the Kubuqi Desert, the project spans 40 mu (2.6 hectares) and has an installed capacity of one megawatt with 11,200 perovskite photovoltaic modules. https://shanghaiist.com/perovskite-solar-project-in-inner-mongolia-connected-to-grid/
5. Now the exploit was rewritten to read memory, and *blink* out the contents using the LCD backlight. A LEGO construction was built and a webcam would register the binary stream of a few megabytes of memory contents. Slooooow. https://mastodon.social/@bagder/111538350617290554 🤯
One of the things about Andreessens impotent yelp for attention and relevance was that it became a stalking horse for some amazing commentary and history. The Santiago Boys by Evgeny Morozov is an electrifying example. We have forgotten more than we know when it comes to digital tech… Digital technologies have helped capital to extend…
I was a huge fan of the EV3 (which never arrived) and there was always talk that Morgan would electrify the Super3… the odds seem to be a little better today (🤞🤞): [Morgan] has revealed its latest development vehicle, XP-1: a Super 3 with an electric heart. Where the production Super 3 has a 1.5…
bbAir is a small desktop device that is able to display simple graphics, like alphanumeric characters and emojis, as air bubbles. Those air bubbles start at the base of the device and then float to the top, like the pixels on a scrolling LED matrix display turned on its side. It has 19 columns and…

Scientists used electronic printable inks, using a technique similar to how designs are printed on t-shirts. As these thin solar cells are difficult to handle and can tear easily, scientists searched for a lightweight, flexible, and resilient material that could adhere to those solar cells. The fabric they chose was Dyneema Composite Fabric, a material known…
HMNZS Aotearoa is currently transporting the USV from Sydney to Auckland. Once operational, “Bluebottle” will undertake maritime tasks without fuel or personnel on its planned seven-month-long trial. Designed and built by Sydney-based Ocius Technology, the company has sold several USVs to the Australian Defence Force and collaborated with the Australian Border Force, energy, and scientific agencies. https://interestingengineering.com/military/new-zealand-navy-robotic-boat
A growing number of companies have recently produced battery systems using common rocks that can connect directly to wind and solar, or electricity sourced through the grid. When the energy is captured, the system turns it into heat, which is then stored in the rocks. Later, when users need power, the heat is then converted…
We have occasionally featured vacuum tube computers here at Hackaday and we’ve brought you many single board computers, but until now it’s probable we haven’t brought you a machine that combined both of these things. Now thanks to [Usagi Electric] we can see just such a board, in the form of his UE-0.1, a roughly 260…
