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, ...

The most basic circuit in any synthesizer is the oscillator. A square wave oscillator constantly alternates between two voltages, in this case +5V and 0V. We have a logic inverter to create this ...

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 ...

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 ...

Take any piece of electronic equipment you can think of ... a special property where they act as a quantum object. To make the circuits, the team just needed lasers, which New Scientist explains ...

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

To create electronic circuits, they used physical vapour deposition to place a thin layer of copper and gold on the skin. Metal was then removed from this surface layer via laser ablation, leaving ...
