It’s late at night. The solder smoke keeps getting in your tired eyes, but your project is nearly done. The main circuit is powered by your 13.8 V bench supply, but part of the circuit needs 9 V. You ...

So, I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron to put together stuff, but I have little to know idea of how to go about figuring out how to build a circuit. I mean, I know what a resistor does, and a ...

Impulse relay is a viable alternative for lighting control from multiple locations. In modernistic houses and apartments, lighting schemes to control lights from two or more locations are becoming ...

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 met ...

It's really surprising that many simple electronic circuits built of just a few components behave chaotically, in an extremely complicated, practically unpredictable manner. Physicists from the ...

Early last spring, we featured a book review, as part of our occasional Books You Should Read series. Usually these are seminal tomes, those really useful books that stay with you for life and become ...

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...

Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...
