This is the simple microcontroller project to display a moving message on 2*16 character LCD. The microcontroller used in this project is AT89C51. Datasheets: AT89C51 Working video: Download attachment

Dr. Ville Kaajakari, assistant professor of electrical engineering at Louisiana Tech University has developed a technology that harvests power from a small generator embedded in the sole of a shoe. Kaajakari’s innovative technology, developed at Louisiana Tech’s Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM), is based on new voltage regulation circuits that efficiently …

Project summary: A simple project using micro-controller AT89S51 to control the speed of 12V fan according to the surrounding temperature. In this project we use the concept of PWM(pulse width modulation) to increase or decrease the speed of fan. We also interface 2*16 character LCD which shows the outside  temperature …

In a just-published paper in the magazine Science, IBM researchers demonstrated a radio-frequency graphene transistor with the highest cut-off frequency achieved so far for any graphene device — 100 billion cycles/second (100 GigaHertz). This accomplishment is a key milestone for the Carbon Electronics for RF Applications (CERA) program funded by …

Nanotechnology researchers are developing the perfect complement to the power tie: a “power shirt” able to generate electricity to power small electronic devices for soldiers in the field, hikers and others whose physical motion could be harnessed and converted to electrical energy. The February 14 issue of the journal Nature …

Researchers have used the world’s thinnest material to create the world’s smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide. Reporting their peer-reviewed findings in the journal Science, Dr Kostya Novoselov and Professor Andre Geim from The School of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Manchester show that graphene …

Microfluidic fuel cells could provide the necessary energy to provide continuous power to remote sensors, mobile phones and laptops, according to a University of Southampton student, who will graduate on July 17. Microfluidics deals with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, …

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2010 to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, both of the University of Manchester, “for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene.” A thin flake of ordinary carbon, just one atom thick, lies behind this year’s Nobel …
