Improving density in circuit design is an ongoing challenge. One solution is to reconsider circuit layouts from the ...

Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing. A new electronic material ...

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

The finding that cells in the human body are capable of generating and responding to electrical stimuli has motivated scientists to develop technologies to electrically interrogate and actuate ...

A new technique has been developed that encases semiconductor devices inside microstructured optical fibers. This fusion of the two separate technologies opens the possibility of truly rapid and ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The integration of electronics into clothing promises to transform how we interact with technology, but the fundamental materials have consistently fallen short. Attempts to weave ...

Portland, Ore. — A conductive plastic that mixes electronics functions into the material before it is cured could make possible products ranging from disposable e-newspapers to large-scale organic ...
