Different challenges have to be overcome when designing integrated circuits. Besides schematic and layout design work, verification in view of the non-ideal behavior of circuits and semiconductor ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

Individual transistors made from carbon nanotubes are faster and more energy efficient than those made from other materials. Going from a single transistor to an integrated circuit full of transistors ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI https://doi.org/10.29026/oea.2022.210061 discusses high performance integrated photonic circuit based on inverse ...

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BAE Systems (LON: BA) has added new capabilities to its next-generation, radiation-hardened 12 nanometer (nm) Storefront. The RH12™ Storefront is an ...

What can you do if your circuit repair diagnosis indicates an open circuit within an integrated circuit (IC)? Your IC got too hot and internal wiring has come loose. You could replace the IC, sure.

As the saying goes, hindsight is 20/20. It may surprise you that the microchip that we all know and love today was far from an obvious idea. Some of the paths that were being explored back then to ...
