Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this ...

New circuits use random bits to solve software problems faster, showing a new way electronics can handle difficult ...

Researchers have found that it is possible to make an electric circuit with a magnetic insulator. This was first deemed impossible. The circuit is realized using spin waves: wave-like perturbations in ...

If you think shorting a transformer’s winding means big sparks and fried wires: think again. In this educational video, titled The Magnetic Bypass, [Sam Ben-Yaakov] flips this assumption. By cleverly ...

Probabilistic Ising machines (PIMs) are advanced and specialized computing systems that could tackle computationally hard ...

Thermal-magnetic circuit breakers contain two different switching mechanisms, a bimetal switch and an electromagnet. The bimetal serves as a means of handling overcurrents. The bimetal typically sits ...

Researchers at the Center for Nanomedicine within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Yonsei University in South Korea have unveiled a technology that can manipulate specific regions of the ...

Because of an experience when I worked for GMC Truck and Coach 30 years ago, I have always thought thermal circuit breakers were not very good. Yet a recent experience with a thermal breaker seems to ...
