Crowbar circuits have long been the go-to safeguard against overvoltage conditions, prized for their simplicity and ...

Rare recordings of E.E. Cummings, Mary Oliver and more offer a tour through literary history led by authors in their own ...

Interposers are effectively platforms on which multiple components can be assembled — like a micro-sized PCB. The primary material today is silicon, and their sizes, even when built on older process ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer of ultra-pure silicon. The bottom-most layer, also known as the front end ...

Dr Carey, from Trinity’s School of Physics and the AMBER Research Ireland Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, will now build an independent research group in Trinity. URFs, ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

Branch circuits are undoubtedly the most commonly installed circuits in both residential and non-residential applications. And, since they supply the equipment that utilizes the electricity, they are ...

Would-be spooks and spies, take note: this one-transistor FM transmitter is a circuit you might want to keep in mind for your bugging needs. True, field agents aren’t likely to need to build their own ...
