Giving a talk at the electronics hackers convention about hacking two different yet similar devices: smart sex toys and Bluetooth speakers.

You see, they both are made with many of the same components! 18650 batteries, ESP32 or Nordic Semi nRF microcontrollers, USB charging. You just plug a motor drive+vibration motor on the end, or you plug in a class-D amplifier chip and some speakers. But like 80% of the device is the same, we just put them in differently shaped cases.

It's at this point I pause to let these facts sink in.

And in the silence, the audience can finally hear it: a soft and muffled playback of Never Gonna Give You Up, coming from the stage.

Multispectral smart window: A step toward healthier indoor environments

Windows, the vital conduits between indoor spaces and the external environment, also serve as primary entry points for harmful light waves and electromagnetic (EM) waves. However, managing light transmission and scattering typically requires different material systems and devices. Additionally, a critical aspect often overlooked in smart window technology is EM modulation. Therefore, windows capable of visible light regulation and EM shielding are becoming an urgent necessity. In a new paper titled "Multispectral smart window: Dynamic light modulation and electromagnetic microwave shielding," published in Light: Science & Applications, a team of scientists led by Professor Jiaqi Zhu from Infrared Films and Crystal introduces an innovative multispectral smart window capable of regulating visible light while simultaneously blocking microwave signals.

Messiah of Evil (Dead People, 1974)

"Hard to remember back on things... but I - I remember the red moonlight Daddy told me about, only once. Mama gave him a bad look when he talked about it. He was only a boy himself, then. He called it the blood moon. He said that was the night that he lost religion. He learned that men could do... could do horrible things... like animals."

Breakthrough process creates next generation of powered wearable fibers

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, have established new, scalable methods of developing battery- and solar-powered fibers, making it theoretically possible for electrical energy to be harvested from, and stored in, the clothing people wear. These fibers could power high-performance wearable electronics that breathe, stretch and wash just like conventional textiles. This development in fiber power sources—submillimeter-thin battery and photovoltaic strands that could be woven directly into fabrics—opens up a new world of wearable electronics and smart textiles.
