Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us …read more Continue reading Particle Physics on a Small, Affordable PCB
On our travels round the hardware world we’ve encountered more than one group pursuing the goal of making their own silicon integrated circuits, and indeed we’ve seen [Sam Zeloof] producing …read more Continue reading Almost Making a Camera Sensor From Scratch
With the invention of the first LED featuring a red color, it seemed only a matter of time before LEDs would appear with other colors. Indeed, soon green and other …read more Continue reading Shuji Nakamura: The Man Who Gave Us the Blue LED Despite All Odds
Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the …read more Continue reading The Geometry of Transistors
How many terminals does a MOSFET have? Trick question since most have three leads, even though there are really four connections to the underlying device. It isn’t a conspiracy, though …read more Continue reading MOSFETs — the Big Lie
Scientists have found what they think may be the fastest known semiconductor. Sounds great, right? But it happens to made from one of the rarest elements: rhenium. That rare element …read more Continue reading Fastest Semiconductor May Also be Most Expensive
NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are in the spotlight in the proposed deal. The global competition for semiconductor chips makes investment in innovation a priority for the UK. Continue reading UK Putting £100m Toward AI Chips
Most of us are content to get our semiconductors from the usual sources, happily abstracting away the complexity locked within those little epoxy blobs. But eventually, you might get the …read more Continue reading Start Your Semiconductor Fab with This DIY Tube Furnace
