Small microcontrollers are often used to provide standard functions like a UART-to-UART bridge. Developing an application from scratch isn’t hard, but why do it again after it has been done before? 1.

Scientists from Indian Institute of Science (IISc) reported an advance in the long quest to move electronics beyond silicon, ...

Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing. A new electronic material ...

Biomedical electronic devices are interfaced with the human body to extract precise medical data and to interfere with tissue function by providing electrical stimuli. In this Review, we outline ...

ITHACA, N.Y. – Cornell University researchers have helped develop the first dual-sided – or “dualtronic” – chip that combines its photonic and electronic functions simultaneously, an innovation that ...

The past three decades have seen major improvements in organic semiconductor devices. Technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and organic field-effect ...

We have always had programmable analog circuits. Any circuit that makes outputs change as a function of inputs is in some way programmable. Examples include gain change as a function of voltage or ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For decades, scientists have dreamed of creating synthetic lifeforms – robots and electronics that can self-assemble, self-repair, and exhibit lifelike behavior emergent from ...

A new technique has been developed that encases semiconductor devices inside microstructured optical fibers. This fusion of the two separate technologies opens the possibility of truly rapid and ...

The possibility of creating a frequency-tunable function generator with rectangular and triangular pulses of constant amplitude and electronic synchronous control of equivalent capacitances in the ...

Japanese researchers have developed a thin-film electronic display that is a magnitude of order thinner than the human epidermis, allowing it to be laminated on to a person’s skin without the wearer ...
