Miniaturization ranks as the driving force behind the semiconductor industry. The tremendous gains in computer performance since the 1950s are largely due to the fact that ever smaller structures can ...

Robust systems often have several different power sources, and switches are implemented to separate the power supplies from each other to avoid damage. In most cases, multiple diodes are placed in the ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

A frequently encountered category of analog system component is the precision current source. Many good designs are available, but concise and simple arithmetic for choosing the component values ...

Organic LEDs are light emitting diodes (LEDs) that use polymers or small organic molecules as their optically active element. Development of organic LEDs is driven in particular by its potential as a ...
