Researchers have demonstrated a way to maintain an unstable quantum system by applying bursts of microwave radiation. The technique is comparable to methods used for controlling an inverted pendulum ...

If you have never seen an inverted pendulum in action - it's fun. What is even more fun is implementing one. Is it IoT? Is it control theory? Is it AI? It can be any and all - and did I mention it's ...

Deep in a laboratory in Jacarezinho, Paraná, a slender metal rod hangs from a pivot, defying one of the most stubborn laws of ...

We’re sure that most Hackaday readers are already familiar with the inverted pendulum system, which basically consists of a pendulum having its center of mass above its pivot point. Most applications ...

A simple pendulum has two equilibrium points: hanging in the "down" position and perfectly inverted in the "up" position. While the "down" position is a stable equilibrium, the inverted position is ...
