For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of ...

This video explains how semiconductors work and how their electrical properties are controlled using band gaps and doping.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, sparked by the isolation of Nobel-prize-winning graphene in 2004, has revolutionized modern ...

To meet the growing demands of flexible and wearable electronic systems, such as smart watches and biomedical sensors, ...

Vactrols, or both an LED and a light depending resistor (LDR) in a light-tight housing, are found in analog music electronics circuits like audio compressors, voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs), ...

Researchers at Penn State have developed the first silicon-free computer using atom-thin materials. This breakthrough could reshape the future of electronics, paving the way for ultra-efficient, ...

Abstract: Sparse linear solvers play a crucial role in transistor-level circuit simulation, especially for large-scale post-layout circuit simulation when considering complex parasitic effects. As ...

Abstract: This work introduces a device-circuit co-design strategy that can leverages non-ideal effects, including parasitic effects, to benefit integrated circuits (ICs), thereby substantially ...
