By integrating advanced sensors and optimizing the power management of the ESP32, I've created a DIY smart lock that is both ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertical transistor that suppresses leakage at nanoscale channels and supports scalable 3D semiconductor integration. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Daegu ...

Single-cell lithium-ion (Li-ion) chargers are widely used, yet many practical designs rely on highly integrated ICs that conceal their internal operation. The type of Li-ion charger outlined in this ...

NTT researchers have addressed two primary loss mechanisms in AlN power transistors: the contact resistance and the channel resistance. To understand the potential of aluminum nitride (AlN) in power ...

Before transistors and microchips, engineers had limited options for building computing machines. Light bulbs, known as vacuum tubes, were the only components fast and reliable enough to perform ...

Wut? What on earth is the added value of arduino to Qualcomm? Hobbyists and a business shark like Qualcomm? That can't be a good match even if everyone tried. Are they trying to clean up their ...

Qualcomm announced Tuesday it will acquire Arduino for undisclosed terms. The chipmaker said the Italy-based company would become an independent subsidiary of Qualcomm. In this article Qualcomm wants ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

At first glance, [RobBest]’s constant current source looks old school. The box is somewhat old-fashioned, featuring switches and binding posts. Most importantly, there’s a large analog meter ...
