In 2023, about 4.4% (176 terawatt-hours) of total energy consumption in the United States was by data centers that are ...

Atomtronic Circuits of Diodes and Transistors in Physic Review Letters. From Physorg: Atomtronics probably won’t replace electronics. “Atoms are sluggish compared to electrons, and that means that you ...

This Design Idea illustrates a way to make use of MOSFETs’ parasitic body diodes in a power circuit that can be used in UPS and energy-recovery (e.g., regenerative braking) designs. The circuit can ...

Integrated Driver Circuit Figure 2 shows a solution with a dedicated APC laser driver IC 4 for CW operation up to 300 mA from a 2.4 to 15-V supply voltage. It requires only four additional passive ...

Designed to control the frequency of crystal oscillator circuits, the 3022 series of high-ratio, hyperabrupt varactor tuning diodes is designed to deliver a dc bias control voltage from -0.3V to -4V.

Left panel, superconducting rectifier circuit used to convert AC currents into DC using four superconducting diodes (blue) connected by superconducting interconnects and one smoothing capacitor (C ...

Plastic diodes to shape future circuits Jan. 12, 2006 Most plastics don't conduct electricity, though that hasn't stopped researchers from trying to build plastic computer chips.

Integrated circuits have evolved from simple microchips to complex, nanoscale marvels, driving advances in computing, ...

Kids love building electric circuits, but connecting light bulbs to batteries with fiddly wires is tricky for young hands. Play dough and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) solve the problem beautifully ...
