Electrical circuits have always been a mystery to me. Those tiny components that look like Chiclets or jewelry beads somehow ...

QSPICE is an analog and mixed-signal simulator characterized by high simulation speed, accuracy and reliability. It is a new program and can be downloaded here. QSPICE is still in the demonstration ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

Modern electronics are a far cry from what Michael Faraday, the pioneer of electrical gadgetry, can ever have imagined possible. But he’d surely be pleased, if only because the magnet, the component ...

Using two self-healing transistors and a load resistor, NAND and NOR logic gates were assembled, and their logic states were reliably maintained under 20% tensile strain. Moreover, the preassembled ...

What if the next generation of disposable electronics—the sensors in your food packaging, the diagnostic strips in a medical ...

A printing technology, inspired by the resilience of tree root systems, is set to redefine the future of conformal electronics. This innovation addresses long-standing challenges related to the ...

What Is A Hybrid Integrated Circuit? A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) or a hybrid microcircuit, is a miniaturised electronic circuit that combines different electronic components on a single platform ...

After several years of experimentation, and growing success in volume manufacturing for some use cases, technologies for 3D printing of electronic circuits are becoming more common. Some innovations ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Circuit boards form the foundation of modern electronics, but their production relies on materials that persist in the environment for centuries. These boards must meet precise ...
