Prior to integrated circuits, these electronic components were discrete devices soldered to each other on a printed circuit board. To learn how a digital circuit works, go to half adder and travel ...

Printed large-scale integrated circuits, LSI, can be used, for example, to power an electrochromic display, itself manufactured as printed electronics. (Image: Thor Balkhed, Linköping University) The ...

The two diagrams above are of the same circuit for a simple night light. How it works: when darkness falls on the light dependant resistor (LDR), its resistance increases causing a higher voltage ...

A common question in the wake of AI advancements is whether human engineers will eventually be replaced. The short answer is ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) on Wednesday issued a precedential decision reversing a Patent Trial ...

Most of us who have dabbled a little in electronics will have made our own printed circuit boards at some point. We’ll have rubbed on sticky transfers, laser-printed onto acetate, covered our ...
