Using Pulsars to Detect Gravitational Waves: with Boris Goncharov
My guest today is Dr. Boris Goncharov, a researcher at the Gran Sasso Science Institute. Boris is part of the team using the precise signals from pulsars as a way to detect gravitational waves. This technique could be sensitive enough to even detect merging supermassive black holes. http:

Building the Largest 555 Timer in the World out of Vacuum Tubes
The 555 Timer is one of the most important and prolific integrated circuits of all time. They’re incredibly cheap, can be sourced from nearly anywhere and work wonderfully. So, let’s make it markedly worse in every single aspect! It’s huge, it consumes a ton of power, it wasn’t cheap by an
