Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

Low-power circuits commonly use transformerless power supplies. However, the use of earth grounds in many of these circuits creates a serious problem that is often ignored. The very popular Microchip ...

Electricity powers everything from your phone to your refrigerator—but have you ever wondered how it’s controlled inside a ...

In a balanced op-amp circuit, the op-amp inputs see equal impedances looking into the circuit. Balanced circuits provide better performance by cancelling some input errors and have a simple R F /R I ...

In this post, two LED blinking circuits are given below. First one is dancing bi-color LEDs (two different color LEDs) where the two color LED will run in sequence. In the second circuit, we will ...

The topic of electricity often poses difficulties for many secondary school students in physics lessons. Researchers have now developed and empirically evaluated a new, intuitive curriculum as part of ...

Team discovers fast, simple way to create two-dimensional electronic circuits that could potentially lead to a new generation of electronic devices. When Northwestern Engineering's Erik Luijten met ...

Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...
