What are the challenges for real-time biosensing and “edge” analysis? How do gold and gold-silver nanowires address the issue? How these sensors can implement elementary logic functions. Wearable ...

FOR years engineers have dreamed of building electronic circuits that would bend and stretch, rather than being confined to rigid chips and boards. Flexible circuitry would be able to do many things ...

A research team of Professor Yan Chen from the Tianjin University presents a reconfigurable hierarchical metamaterial, establishes a linear relationship between its stiffness and the number of active ...

Inter integrated circuits (I2C) is a multi-master, low-bandwidth, short distance, serial communication protocol. Because of its simplicity and flexibility, I2C and its derivatives are widely employed ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

The analog input characteristics of analog ICs vary enormously. Some behave like high impedance amplifier inputs, some are purely resistive, some have capacitors switched at high speed, and some, ...

Measurement systems often usecameras and other sensors thatrequire synchronization. This DesignIdea describes an aerial-photographysystem that uses a camera comprisingCCD (charge-coupled-device) ...
