Steve Hodges wants to make it easy to prototype electronic devices, so he's found a way to print circuits with an inkjet printer. Hodges, head of the sensors and devices group at Microsoft ...

Delve into the fascinating world of resistors, a key component in nearly every electronic device we use today. Resistors are crucial for controlling the flow of electrical current in a circuit, ...

For one thing, Williams says these memristors can be used as either digital switches ... can use any fab to make these things right now, but somebody also has to design the circuits and there's ...

We break down the essential component of modern electronics—the transistor. Transistors are the building blocks behind most of today’s electronic devices, and understanding how they work is key to ...

Team discovers fast, simple way to create two-dimensional electronic circuits that could potentially lead to a new generation of electronic devices. When Northwestern Engineering's Erik Luijten ...

Imagine a single electronic device that can be both strong like plastic and soft like rubber, depending on how and where it’s ...

Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU) says academics have successfully printed complex electronic circuits using a common t-shirt printer. Amongst the circuits created using the approach ...

Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Virginia are now able to create “tiny, thin-film electronic circuits peelable from a surface,” the first step in creating an unobtrusive ...

Many robotic applications require a sensor to detect close or very close obstacles. Typically, reflective-type infrared sensors are used for this task. But the circuit in the figure shows an ...

Led by Professor Magnus Berggren, the researchers have used semiconductive polymers to create the key components of analog and digital electronic circuits inside a rose plant. For decades ...
