(Note: This is Part 1 of a two-part article. Click here for Part 2.) SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuits Emphasis, often written as Spice) environment becomes an analysis platform of ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

Researchers in Italy have created the first integrated circuit to combine two transistors made from the “wonder material” graphene. By adapting a technique used to fabricate silicon transistors the ...

The properties of propagating surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) along one-dimensional metal structures have been investigated for more than 10 years and are now well understood. Because of the high ...

To make stretchable electronics, engineers must start with materials that can tolerate strain. That’s why the ability to endure being stretched is a sought-after quality in flexible electronics, ...

MOSFET-based load switches, whether as integrated circuits or built with discrete components, continue to be popular choices for many engineers for applications with power-switching needs, such as ...

Texas Instruments commemorates the 50th anniversary of the integrated circuit with the opening of Kilby Labs, honoring Nobel-prize-winning inventor of the integrated circuit, Jack Kilby. Brooke ...

There's a long wish list for a workable quantum computer: a viable system must be fast, compact and stable. The first integrated optical quantum logic circuits are a step in the right direction. Quite ...
