If you ever wished electrons would just behave, this one’s for you. A team from Tohoku, Osaka, and Manchester Universities has cracked open an interesting phenomenon in the chiral helimagnet …read more Continue reading Twisting Magnetism to Control Electron Flow
If you think shorting a transformer’s winding means big sparks and fried wires: think again. In this educational video, titled The Magnetic Bypass, [Sam Ben-Yaakov] flips this assumption. By cleverly …read more Continue reading Hacking Flux Paths: The Surprising Magnetic Bypass
One can 3D print with conductive filament, and therefore plausibly create passive components like resistors. But what about active components, which typically require semiconductors? Researchers at MIT demonstrate working concepts …read more Continue reading MIT Demonstrates Fully 3D Printed, Active Electronic Components
Who would’ve thought a cheap AliExpress emergency light could be packed with such crafty design choices? Found for about $5, this unit uses simple components yet achieves surprisingly sophisticated behaviors. …read more Continue reading Circuit Secrets: Exploring a $5 Emergency Light
Researchers at MIT have unexpectedly stumbled upon a way to 3D print active electronics – meaning transistors and components for controlling electrical signals – without the use of semiconductors or even special fabrication technology.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading New tech enables 3D printing electronics without semiconductors
Guitar effects have come a long way from the jangly, unaltered sounds of the 1950s when rock and roll started picking up steam. Starting in large part with [Jimi Hendrix] …read more Continue reading Modeling A Guitar for Circuit Simulation
Our appetite for new gadgets is resulting in a huge e-waste problem, with just a fraction of the 50 million tonnes of tech thrown away each year being recycled. Looking to tackle a significant part of the problem, the UK’s Jiva Materials has developed … Continue reading Plant-based PCB substrate breaks down in water for easier recycling
The odds are that if you’ve heard about application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) at all, it’s in the context of cryptocurrency mining. For some currencies, the only way to efficiently mine …read more Continue reading Opening Up ASIC Design
Despite the huge strides in computing power and functionality that have been achieved in the past few decades, there are still some things that older computers can do which are …read more Continue reading How To Restore a Musical Amiga
Water is usually something you’d want to keep away from electronic circuits, but engineers in Germany have now developed a new concept for water-based switches that are much faster than current semiconductor materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Electron… Continue reading Water-based circuit concept switches much faster than semiconductors
