In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

Electrical circuits have always been a mystery to me. Those tiny components that look like Chiclets or jewelry beads somehow make a light blink, produce music, and detect motion. So I was happy to ...

How do I learn circuit building and electronics on my Mac? If you want to learn about basic electronic components and how to build simple circuits, using your Mac as a learning resource, then you’ve ...

Engineers want to create flexible electronic devices, like e-readers that could fold into a pocket. One approach involves designing circuits based on carbon nanotubes instead of rigid silicon chips.

What if the next generation of disposable electronics—the sensors in your food packaging, the diagnostic strips in a medical ...

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 ...

With the rise of 3-D printers, homebrew hobbyists can now make enclosures for electronics like Ardiunos. But until recently, those hobbyists still couldn’t make the actual computing components–there’s ...

Reuters' industry sources claim this as an effect of the war in Iran.

Do-it-yourself electronics manufacturing may soon be possible with your desktop printer, say the designers of a new system that directly prints electronic circuits onto ordinary paper. Jing Liu, of ...
