Component makers often publish data that is erroneous, vague, incomplete, and frequently misleading. What is surprising is that engineers are willing to accept the manufacturer-supplied data at face ...

Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge ...

Mark McDonnell holds an Australian Research Fellowship funded by the Australian Research Council. He also receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council. He is affiliated with ...

Electronic devices are built from many different parts. Understanding how these components work together is key to understanding electronics. Circuit diagrams use symbols to represent each component, ...

Flexible integrated circuits represent the cutting-edge. It may be a while before they go into production, but new designs are moving closer to the goal. Most integrated circuits are implemented on ...

Scientists have engineered one of the world's smallest electronic circuits. It is formed by two wires separated by only about 150 atoms or 15 nanometers. A team of scientists, led by Guillaume Gervais ...

Circuit protection in electronics systems continues to be a key consideration for increasing safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of electronics products. There are many critical factors for ...
