Chaos Theory has been an important pursuit of physicists and mathematicians since it was brought to the forefront as a distinct phenomenon in the early 1960s. This early exposition got the attention ...

The current-mode or peak-current-regulating switching converter is a familiar, almost dominant, power supply circuit consisting of few parts and is usually designed with “cookbook” procedures from PWM ...

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

In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more powerful, researchers in Canada have taken things to a very small extreme. They devised a method for turning individual silicon atoms into ...

Andy recommends favorite resources for basic op amp circuits and includes a portion of TI's AN-20. Test your knowledge with our op amp quiz; answer explanations are included. By 1969, a fledgling ...

Chaotic circuits can arise from either computed (using Analog Computers or Digital Computers) solutions to coupled differential equations or from unstable systems/circuits. A new open-source circuit ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials could potentially be used to develop advanced monolithic integrated circuits. However, despite impressive demonstrations of single devices and simple circuits—in some ...

As STEM learning becomes more mainstream from elementary to high school, more products that are STEM-specific are hitting the market. One such product started off on Kickstarter, and after being ...

This simple 4093-based audio peak detector from December 2004 monitors music and turns on a small light when the sound gets ...
