What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

In recent years, gallium nitride (GaN) has emerged as a compelling candidate to complement the silicon material used in wireless communication and power conversion applications. Benefits of GaN ...

Researchers have built logic circuits, the heart of all electronic gadgets, on molybdenum disulfide films that are two molecular layers thick (Nano Lett., DOI: 10.1021/nl302015v). The devices are the ...

A joint research team led by Professors Donghee Son and Jin-Hong Park at SKKU has developed a stretchable, self-healing, and reconfigurable electronic circuit platform that can autonomously recover ...

Physical device scaling of traditional silicon metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) has driven progress in computing for decades 6; however, continued scaling is becoming ...

Monitoring the health of a chip post-manufacturing, including how it is aging and performing over time, is becoming much more important as ICs make their way into safety-critical applications such as ...

Engineers have created genetic circuits in bacterial cells that not only perform logic functions, but also remember the results, which are encoded in the cell's DNA and passed on for dozens of ...

Making sound with digital logic usually calls for a Digital to Analog converter. Building one can be very simple, and the sound quality out of an R-2R Ladder is actually pretty good. In the last ...

The analog input characteristics of analog ICs vary enormously. Some behave like high impedance amplifier inputs, some are purely resistive, some have capacitors switched at high speed, and some, ...

Measurement systems often usecameras and other sensors thatrequire synchronization. This DesignIdea describes an aerial-photographysystem that uses a camera comprisingCCD (charge-coupled-device) ...

Ladder logic uses switch or relay contacts to implement Boolean expressions. In years past, ladder logic was made possible with discrete relays and was sometimes termed “relay logic.” Today most ...
