A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...

A self-sensing and heating transistor thermostat for a 16-bit DAC voltage reference to stabilize its temperature.

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

MIT researchers with colleagues from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague have used 2D CrSBr, a van der Waals ...

These days, we take it for granted that you can connect a cheap piece of hardware to a microcontroller and have an amazing debugging experience. Stop the program. Examine memory and registers. You ...

At Eindhoven University of Technology, researchers are working on the next generation of computer chips that enable the future digital revolution ...

Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC).25 Simplified instruction sets enabled faster microprocessors. Today, 99% of all ...
