Working with circuits and LED lights guides students to test ideas, troubleshoot problems, revise plans, notice patterns, and ...

Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

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

This animation shows how pairs of dangling bonds can serve as atom-sized binary bits in digital circuits. Credit: Robert Wolkow/U. Alberta In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more ...

With so much analog-circuit design being done by automated tools and circuit-performance analysis done with tools such as Spice, it may seem anachronistic to actually go through a basic circuit in ...

We all carry supercomputers in our pockets and use dozens of electric gizmos every day but rarely stop to marvel at the magical act of flicking a switch. Use your ordinary conducting and extraordinary ...

1. In an n-type silicon, which of the following statements is true: (a) Electrons are the majority carriers and trivalent atoms are the dopants. (b) Electrons are minority carriers and pentavalent ...

Hi! I'm Mwaksy. Hey, I'm Greg.Greg, a question for you. Yes?How do you get from this… Mm? …to this?Skills! How'd you do that? I'm very glad you asked,because that ...

When working around mains voltages, it can be useful to know whether a given circuit is live or not. While this can be done by direct connection with a multimeter, non-contact methods are available ...
