This ETH Zurich logo consists of 2,800 nano light-emitting diodes and, at a height of 20 micrometers, matches the size of a human cell.Amanda Paganini / ETH Zurich Swiss researchers have built organic ...

Miniaturization ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s are largely due to the fact that ever smaller structures can ...

A process developed at ETH Zurich enables the massive miniaturisation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) in only one single step. The light sources are now smaller than the wavelength of the ...

Great Eastern FX has unveiled the latest limited edition stompbox in its Obsolete Devices series, and it is a distortion pedal inspired by the iconic hard-clipping performance of the MXR Distortion+ ...

Despite the antiquated notions that all bread is bad, the famed carb deserves much more love than it gets from the so-called nutrition experts pushing questionable diets online. However, while not all ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism for supercurrent rectification, in which current flows primarily in one direction in a superconductor. By using a specific iron-based superconductor, they ...

As part of a long-term succession plan, Plano-based Diodes Inc. announced that Gary Yu, who served as president since January 2024, has been appointed chief executive officer, effective immediately.

In this tutorial, we will study the behavior of a diode reverse-biased by a Dirac pulse, subsequently considering the special (and unpublished) case of a Zener diode. In this tutorial, we will study ...

Transient spikes can be caused by lightning strikes, nearby machinery, power surges from load switching, etc. An example is a modern automobile where ever-increasing on-board electronics are connected ...

A diode is a device that allows electric current to flow in only one direction, from its anode towards its cathode but not the other way around. There is plenty of online material explaining diode ...

Part 1 provided an overview of intrinsically safe systems; this part looks at some of the electronics and implementations. Q: The high-level insight is useful, but what about the electronics that are ...
