“Semiconductors are the heart of almost every electronic device. Without semiconductors, our computers would not be able to process and retain data; and LED (light-emitting diode) lightbulbs would lose their ability to shine. But semiconductor manufacturing requires a lot of …
“The result is a milestone in the study of the properties and behaviour of antimatter. Isaac Newton’s historic work on gravity was apparently inspired by watching an apple fall to the ground from a tree. But what about an …
” AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the AMD Alveo™ UL3524 accelerator card, a new fintech accelerator designed for ultra-low latency electronic trading applications. Already deployed by leading trading firms and enabling multiple solution partner offerings, the Alveo UL3524 provides proprietary traders …
“Argonne is recycling 700 magnets as its Advanced Photon Source undergoes an upgrade, and the old magnets will be used for the Electron-Ion Collider Like cats, magnets for physics experiments can have many lives. In 2015, researchers at the U …
“A feeder for pets that pours food on a schedule or on a remote control. The sleep and feeding schedules of humans and cats differ significantly. To ensure that your furry friend can eat whenever they please, you can create …
“Experiment measures the energy spectrum of neutrons emitted from neutron-induced fission. The results of the Chi-Nu physics experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory have contributed essential, never-before-observed data for enhancing nuclear security applications, understanding criticality safety and designing fast-neutron energy …
“MIT engineers and collaborators developed a solar-powered device that avoids salt-clogging issues of other designs. Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean …
News Dual 500 mA RETs from Nexperia enable high-power load switching in space constrained applications
“Nexperia, the essential semiconductor expert, today released a new series of 500 mA dual resistor equipped transistors (RET) in ultra-compact DFN2020(D)-6 packaging. These devices have been designed for load switching in wearables and smartphones as well as for …
“A plethysmogram is a graph of blood volume vs time and a photoplethysmogram (PPG) uses light to measure blood volume, often with a finger probe. You can buy a pulse oximeter very cheaply on eBay. It uses photoplethysmography to measure …
“Flea-Scope is a very low-cost ($13 BoM in quantity) and easy-to-use 18 million sample-per-second (Msps) USB oscilloscope and mixed-signal logic analyzer with a built-in waveform generator, and so much more, based on the PIC32MK MCU! Flea-Scope can be controlled by …
