In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial markets have experienced significant volatility. During the course of this volatility, exchanges have halted trading multiple times after declines ...

Component makers often publish data that is erroneous, vague, incomplete, and frequently misleading. What is surprising is that engineers are willing to accept the manufacturer-supplied data at face ...

Electronic devices are built from many different parts. Understanding how these components work together is key to understanding electronics. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent each component, ...

This video provides a clear explanation of resistors and their role in electronic circuits. It introduces the principles behind Ohm’s Law and explains how resistors affect the flow of current and ...

Most integrated circuits are implemented on flat, rigid substrates. Sealed, rigid enclosures ranging from plastics to ceramics typically protect these ICs. As a result, system design becomes even more ...

Mark McDonnell holds an Australian Research Fellowship funded by the Australian Research Council. He also receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council. He is affiliated with ...

If you've ever wondered how electronic devices manage to control circuits with precision and safety, you're thinking about the magic of relays. Relays act as the unsung heroes in many of our devices, ...

Electrons in a metal form a Fermi distribution in equilibrium with a phonon bath. These electrons can easily be driven out of equilibrium, for example, by applying Joule heating 4. A key feature of ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

Multiplexer means many into one. A multiplexer is a circuit used to select and route any one of the several input signals to a signal output. An simple example of an non electronic circuit of a ...

For the first time, researchers tailored the electronic properties of nanoribbons using a new “bottom-up” method that precisely controls and modulates the atomic-scale width within a single nanoribbon ...
