Two years ago, when visiting research colleagues in Uppsala, Sweden, we were asked a deceptively simple question: “What does it mean to program?” For context, one of us had just completed academic ...

Planetary systems are now the gear system of choice for automation applications using servomotors. Why? Two frequent misconceptions are that planetary systems have low backlash (one to seven arc-min.) ...

So you've already outgrown Arduino's most beginner-friendly board, the Uno, and are looking to move on to bigger, more exciting projects. In that case, the Nano family might just be what you need.

In this modelling study, we used a suite of mathematical and statistical models to estimate the global and regional public health impact of 50 years of vaccination against 14 pathogens in EPI. For the ...
