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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Also, that Nyan is etched into 200 nanometer thick copper foil and is the work of the HomeCMOS team, who is developing a hobbyist-friendly process to make integrated circuits and MEMS devices at home.

A photonic integrated circuit is an integrated circuit with optical functions. Optical signals travel at the speed of light, which is faster than electronic signals. This speed is appealing, but ...

therefore creating a kind of 3D-printed circuit board. [hobochild] doesn’t yet have a lot of nitty-gritty detail to share, but his process seems fairly clear. (Update: good news! here’s the ...
