The beating heart of most electronic systems today is the crystal oscillator. While devices based on microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) technology are definitely making inroads in this application, ...

Researchers have explored a 'quantum-inspired' technique to make the 'ones' and 'zeroes' for classical computer memory applications out of crystal defects, each the size of an individual atom. This ...

It may sound odd, but a home-brewed marker generator can be useful in many situations. Let us see how to make one with a simple circuit. To understand exactly what a marker generator (often with a ...
