We always stress how efficient electric cars are. It is important to have that in mind, and Jason Fenske recently reminded us of that with a video about the huge impact tires can have on EVs. Texas ...

On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...

One secret to creating the world's fastest silicon-based flexible transistors: a very, very tiny knife. Engineers have now pioneered a unique method that could allow manufacturers to easily and ...

ThermalTrak integrates power output transistors with thermal bias diode. One of the major design concerns in the output section of a typical class AB audio amplifier is output bias and stability over ...

Single-walled carbon nanotubes are considered potential building blocks for future nanoscale electronics. For example, nanotubes that are semiconducting can be electrically switched on and off as ...

The company’s TO-5 and TO-100 transistor sockets promise to make field insertion and removal both easy and convenient. Each socket features precision-machined, brass-alloy receptacles assembled with a ...

Organic thin film transistors (TFTs) have attracted much attention due to their wide and potential applications in, e.g., flexible displays, radio frequency identification cards, and sensors.

Nanotechnologies for electronics come along all the time, but they’re typically far from ready for the factory floor. Now, independent teams of researchers in Sweden and in Korea have combined a ...

(Nanowerk News) Superconductors — materials that conduct electricity without resistance — are remarkable. They provide a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which are usually observable only ...

OK, so I have an old project laptop with an IDE/PATA/slim-ATAPI optical drive bay, into which I have inserted a SATA drive caddy with a bridge board. The thing is, the caddy doesn't transfer the drive ...
