Electronic health records, when properly designed and implemented, can provide more complete, timely, and sophisticated clinical information and support to clinicians, and therefore improve 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 ...

Scientists have developed a self-healing, recyclable circuit board using vitrimer and liquid metal. The material maintains conductivity after damage, reshapes under heat, and may reduce growing ...

For the first time, researchers have developed crystalline materials that allow an optical fiber to have integrated, high-speed electronic functions. The potential applications of such optical fibers ...

Texas Instruments’ value-line MSP430 16-bit micro costs only 25 cents and comes with 25 preconfigured apps. Small microcontrollers are often used to provide standard functions like a UART-to-UART ...

The past three decades have seen major improvements in organic semiconductor devices. Technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic field-effect ...

Small-signal analysis of switching dc-dc converters determines their specific transfer functions, for example, for stability analysis or design of a proper input filter. Transfer functions of interest ...
