Fast Facts: NYU Abu Dhabi researchers have developed a microchip that can isolate T cells, in a systematic and precise manner. T cells are a type of white blood cell that is important to the immune system and is at the core of immunity, the system that tailors the body’s immune response to specific pathogens […]
To meet soaring demand for lightning-quick mobile technology, each year tech giants create faster, more powerful devices with longer-lasting battery power than previous models. A major reason companies like Apple and Samsung can miraculously pull this off year after year is because engineering wizards around the world are designing increasingly power-efficient microchips that still deliver […]
What you will learn1.1. How to create a project using MPLAB.1.2. How to link the files necessary to build a hex file. 1.3. How to simulate operation of the file. 1.4.

Introduction This project was done in order to allow a PIC32MX250F128B to act as a host to a USBmass storage device. This would allow for a USB flash drive to be connected to the PIC32which would allow for data to be read from or stored to a flash drive by the PIC32. This could beuseful […]
Inspired by the smart technology of a hand-held game controller, Dr. Joshua Broder of Duke University walked away the ultimate winner in the inaugural Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Research Challenge offered by the Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) and GE Healthcare (GE). In a first-of-its-kind research partnership, EMF and GE launched the POCUS research challenge designed to push the boundaries of ultrasound […]
The bootloader is used to install programs on the PIC32 without using an external programmer like an ICD2 and does not require any drivers on the computer. The PC software for the bootloader for the PC has already been installed with the Microchip Applications Library. Software PIC Source Code For each new program, you will need […]
Motivation: The echolocating bat is a wonderful animal that is unique in so many different ways: it is the only truly flying mammal, it can use air-coupled sonar to navigate in complete darkness while flying, it can allow its body temperature to drop to as low as 1degC (torpor) to save energy, and it […]
As the United States seeks to reinvigorate its job market and move past economic recession, MIT News examines manufacturing’s role in the country’s economic future through this series on work at the Institute around manufacturing. Computer chips are one area where the United States still enjoys a significant manufacturing lead over the rest of the world. In […]
Princeton University researchers have developed a new computer chip that promises to boost the performance of data centers that lie at the core of numerous online services such as email and social media. The chip — called “Piton” after the metal spikes driven by rock climbers into mountainsides to aid in their ascent — was presented Aug. 23 […]
