Before the advent of effective semiconductor LEDs many display types existed to display things like numbers and other characters. The Nixie tube is a well-known one, along with VFDs and there are also lesser known ones such as Burrough’s Panaplex, which all saw plentiful use in everything from calculators to audio equipment. The design that [Witchcraft and Alchemy] made appears to lean heavily on this Panaplex design.
Rather than neon, this uses argon as the gas. The anode is formed by the indium-tin oxide layer on a piece of glass, with the cathode sputtered onto the other side in the form of first a titanium layer followed by platinum. This combination helps to prevent the latter from flaking off due to...

Carly Rae Jepsen “Blue Skies”
Carly Rae Jepsen has lucked into a very low pressure form of pop stardom: People stopped expecting another “Call Me Maybe”-level smash from her over a decade ago, the Emotion album has locked her into the pop nerd canon, and her cult seems pretty happy to let her age gracefully as an artist rather than cling to youth. This endless goodwill from her audience has allowed her to be highly prolific, become increasingly sophisticated in her aesthetics, and essentially opt out of the competitive pop marketplace. The “Day” half of her most recent double album Day and Night is basically slick and ultra-tasteful indie, much closer to the style of the pastoral side of Goldfrapp,...

Measuring electric currents is an essential element of many electrical systems, but doing so in a way that is as nonintrusive as possible is not an easy problem to solve. Due to this we got a wide variety of current sensors to choose from for any given application, with [ElectrArc240] running us through these variants in a recent video.
The fairly low-tech, cheap and quite reliable method of using a shunt resistor is first demonstrated. This sees a lot of use in fairly low-voltage and low-current applications, with for example videocards using it to limit the amount of power the GPU can use, a feature that modders will happily bypass. Here simply the voltage drop across a known resistance value is measured,...

A rush of new data centers could bring air pollution roaring back to levels not seen since the 2000s in Texas, which has become ground zero for the physical infrastructure behind generative AI.
New and proposed data centers are demanding a tremendous amount of electricity. How developers and utilities meet that demand - with gas turbines or renewable energy - will determine just how dirty things will get. So far, though, things are looking grim.
Tech companies and data center developers are devising new ways to get enough electricity, including building out their own power sources. But if all planned data center projects were to plug into …

“Quantum networks, systems that connect devices and allow them to exchange information encoded in the quantum states of particles, could enable more secure communications. To build these networks, physicists need to devise strategies that allow distant particles to share quantum states, preserving them long enough to perform calculations or enable communication between devices. Researchers at the University of Oxford recently realized a quantum network with four qubits (i.e., units of quantum information) encoded in trapped ions distributed between two locations linked by optical fibers. This network, outlined in a paper published in Physical Review Letters, relied on electrically charged atoms held in place...

The Philips CD-i was not popular upon its launch in 1991, and is barely acknowledged today. In the opinion of [MattKC], it had a particularly poor selection of controllers, too, and it’s often hard to find used examples anyway. To rectify this situation, he whipped up an adapter to let him use Sega Genesis controllers instead.
The benefit of the Genesis controller is that it uses DB-9 connectors that are readily available, and it’s got a simple pinout that is compatible with the Atari joystick port, too. It makes interfacing the controllers supremely easy. Converting the controllers required using a Arduino Pro Micro to read the Genesis pad and translate it into something suitable for the CD-i.
