Description: Netduino Go is a plug-and-play Netduino with support for more GPIOS, serial ports, analog inputs, and PWMs. Netduino Go has four times the speed (168MHz), six times the code space (384KB), and twice the available RAM (100KB+) of Netduino Plus. Some of you aren't yet comfortable picking up a soldering iron, or you don't want to spend your time calculating resistor band colors....

The Dangerous Prototypes web platform is a tiny server designed for networked hacks where a full PC is inconvenient. There’s lots of interesting projects that bridge the internet to microcontrollers, but most of them have a PC in the middle to handle network stuff. This business card-sized internet appliance can connect to web services, control physical objects from a browser interface, or email...

The Schumann Resonance is 7.83 cycles per second (7.83 Hz). Named after Winfried Otto Schumann, the Schumann Resonance is said to be the frequency of the Earth’s vibration. This puts the Schumann Resonance in the ELF (extremely low frequency) range of the Earth’s total electromagnetic spectrum. The Schumann Resonance is also associated with 13.8 Hz, 19.7 Hz, 25.7 Hz, 31.7 Hz, 39 Hz, and 45 Hz. The exact...

TZ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Antarctica If you thought the time zones in your country were a big enough hassle, you’ll find the hodgepodge of time zones observed in Antarctica an outright mess. Although logically Antartic, situated at the Earth’s southern pole, should have a bit of each longitudinally defined time zone in it. Instead, the scarcely population continent is a patchwork...

Computational Engineers at the University of Southampton have built a supercomputer from 64 Raspberry Pi computers and Lego. The team, led by Professor Simon Cox, consisted of Richard Boardman, Andy Everett, Steven Johnston, Gereon Kaiping, Neil O'Brien, Mark Scott and Oz Parchment, along with Professor Cox's son James Cox (aged 6) who provided specialist support on Lego and system testing. Professor...

Bioengineers at Stanford University have turned living cells into data storage devices that can store a rewriteable small amount data, just like silicon devices. Sections of DNA in the researchers' engineered cells can sit in one of two positions, representing the 0s and 1s of digital data. "Essentially, if the DNA section points in one direction, it's a zero. If it points the other way, it's a one,"...
