Feedback Theory

Researchers from Australian National University (ANU) have incorporated nanocrystals to turn normal eye glasses into light-weight night-vision ones.

A new radiation-hardened temperature sensor offers both local and remote digital temperature monitoring.

This month’s hardware history roundup highlights a few significant events in the history of hardware computing in electronics: the Difference Engine, which is credited as the first calculating mechanical device, is announced; the first point contact resistor is demonstrated for the first time, moving electronics from the vacuum tube to the transistor era; and finally, he first transatlantic cable is laid out across the ocean floor to connect two rival superpowers.
