MIT researchers have created 3D-printed logic gates that perform switching functions without semiconductors. This development could lead to more accessible electronics manufacturing, allowing devices ...

There is substantial and growing interest in the development of flexible electronic (FE) circuits. FE circuits allow conformability of circuits for greater functionality and lower production costs.

Inside nearly every electronic device is a simple coil of wire doing a powerful job—it’s called an inductor. Though small and ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...

A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

Transparent electronics refer to the emerging field of developing electronic devices and circuits that are virtually invisible to the human eye. By using transparent materials such as conductive ...

But, it turns out, a thermometer has been part of photonic chips all along.

A three-layer cooler etched in silicon pulls heat from dense chips while using little power, hinting that heat may no longer ...
