In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors; and in Part 3, we took an in-depth look at electrical measurements. In this article, we will focus ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

What's driving the need for protection devices and the challenges of implementing them. Traditional types of protection devices. Different approaches to protection, including surge stoppers. The ...

Researcher Cunjiang Yu and his research team, including several of his former students, have announced a significant ...

imec and CMST, its associated lab at Ghent University, have developed thermoplastically deformable electronics technology that is said to enable the creation of low cost 2.5D free form rigid ...

Resistors close resistorAn electrical component that restricts the flow of electrical charge. Fixed-value resistors do not change their resistance, but with variable resistors it is possible to vary ...

In the race for ever-improving technology, there are two related technical capabilities that drive our world forward: speed and size. These are related, as the smaller a device is, the less distance ...
