Hello students !

Are you ready for an another international challenge ?

On 13th of May the European Robot Challenge 2017 (ERC 2017) will take place in Opole (Poland) which is co-organized by the IEEE Opole Student Branch and IEEE Young Professionals Poland Section. The event has also obtained a honorary patronage from IEEE Poland Section.

Since the deadline day is approaching fast don’t waste your time and start to build a sumo or line follower robot which will fight in the tournament and win valuable prizes. More information you can find here: http://erc.po.opole.pl/en/ Entrance and registration is FREE !

How Space Affects the Human Body - IEEE Transmitter have not yet been released by NASA, the preliminary results have teased some surprising findings. NASA astronaut Scott Kelly returned home last March after nearly one year living on the International Space Station. His identical twin brother, Mark, remained on Earth. This situation gave NASA the per...

In 1959, Luna 2, launched by the Soviet Union, became the first spacecraft to reach the surface of the moon and the first man-made object to land on another celestial body. Luna 2 took a direct path to the moon, and made the journey in approximately 34 hours. To put that into perspective, you could drive from Chicago, Illinois, USA to San Francisco, California, USA in about the same time that it took Luna 2 to reach the moon’s surface.

Emergency Response System Through Crowd Sensing -IEEE With the use of crowd sensing, researchers created an emergency response system that will better inform responders, and the public, of a rising threat.

This week we’re honoring the life of IEEE Fellow and “father of video-games,” Ralph H. Baer. Baer’s development and commercialization of video-game technology spurred the creation of a multibillion-dollar industry and has greatly influenced the way we play and work. His 1971 patent on a “television gaming and training apparatus” was the pioneer patent of video-game technology and was based on his “Brown Box” console. Baer also foresaw the application of his technology for training and simulation, which has benefited the military and the airline and medical industries. Ralph Baer was the recipient 2014 IEEE Edison Medal.

Building a better microbial fuel cell—using paper The concept behind microbial fuel cells, which rely on bacteria to generate an electrical current, is more than a century old. But turning that concept into a usable tool has been a long process. Microbial fuel cells, or MFCs, are more promising today than ever, but before their adoption can become…
