On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough ...

A single organic device reconfigures as transistor, rectifier and logic gate, offering compact circuits with higher ...

New Yorker Electronics Co. — a New Jersey-based distributor of passive electronic components, discrete semiconductors and supply chain services —announced Sept. 1 its acquisition of Switches Unlimited ...

The core concept of Electronics Puzzle Lab 2 is to inspect a series of circuit boards and successfully power a set of LED lights.

MIT researchers developed a more powerful magnetic transistor that could be used to design simpler circuits and create faster and more energy-efficient electronics.

Hybrid relays combine a mechanical switch with a solid-state switch, and they are set up in parallel to control a single load ...

The ultimate goal is to scale these switches into circuits that would, ostensibly, replace current electronics. According to the researchers, several advances are necessary to reach that goal, ...

A power semiconductor switch is a controlled electronic device that repeatedly changes between on and off states. It is a solid-state switch, meaning it performs this function without mechanical ...

This cost-effective 433MHz wireless relay switch circuit allows remote relay control using an RF transmitter and receiver module. It is ideal for scenarios where wired connections are impractical or ...

Wool takes the place of wiring, plastic and circuit boards in electronic devices created by designer Hinna Khan, a recent Central Saint Martins graduate inspired to find a new use for the material ...
