In our previous session we reviewed the most common passive elements used in electronic circuits. This time we look at semiconductors, and at some of the important active elements made from them: ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

Atomtronics has the goal of developing a one-to-one analogy of electronic systems, components and devices with ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices It is being researched at the University of ...

Diodes today are solid-state devices, but in the beginning of the electronics age, they were crystals, as it was the German physicist Ferdinand Braun who first discovered in 1874 that crystals had ...
