So, I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron to put together stuff, but I have little to know idea of how to go about figuring out how to build a circuit. I mean, I know what a resistor does, and a ...

It’s late at night. The solder smoke keeps getting in your tired eyes, but your project is nearly done. The main circuit is powered by your 13.8 V bench supply, but part of the circuit needs 9 V. You ...

It's really surprising: it turns out that among simple electronic circuits, built of just a few components, many of them behave chaotically, in an extremely complicated, practically unpredictable ...

Early last spring, we featured a book review, as part of our occasional Books You Should Read series. Usually these are seminal tomes, those really useful books that stay with you for life and become ...

Team discovers fast, simple way to create two-dimensional electronic circuits that could potentially lead to a new generation of electronic devices. When Northwestern Engineering's Erik Luijten met ...

Sure, most middle school kids can learn the function of basic electronic components and follow a set of instructions to create a basic circuit on a breadboard. Often, however, their work suffers from ...

The system is suitable for small power supplies, op-amp circuits, analogue electronics experiments, and various DIY ...

This animation shows how pairs of dangling bonds can serve as atom-sized binary bits in digital circuits. Credit: Robert Wolkow/U. Alberta In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more ...

It's really surprising that many simple electronic circuits built of just a few components behave chaotically, in an extremely complicated, practically unpredictable manner. Physicists from the ...
