Savvy bosses invest in high-quality schematics because clear, correct wiring diagrams underpin profitable electrical repairs.

Block diagrams can be written, usually in boxes, with the headings input, process, and output. When planning how a circuit will function, these headings are then used to plan what the input, process ...

A special edition article titled “Electronic Circuits made of 2D Materials” was just published by Dr. Mario Lanza, KAUST Associate Professor of Material Science and Engineering, and Iuliana Radu, ...

The basis of almost everything we discuss here on ExtremeTech is the transistor -- but just above that is a topic that we usually skirt around because no one, even hardcore nerds, really know anything ...

Hardware hacking often seems like black magic to the uninitiated, which is why 123D Circuits is so cool: it allows you to learn electronics using a virtual Arduino board and breadboard without blowing ...

Process devices operate when an input level, such as voltage, reaches the required value for the device to operate. The transistor is on, when the input voltage is greater than or equal to \(0.7 V\).

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Circuit boards form the foundation of modern electronics, but their production relies on materials that persist in the environment for centuries. These boards must meet precise ...

New “transient electronics” dissolve in the presence of water, opening up a new range of possible applications. Image via the Beckman Institute, University of Illinois and Tufts University For most of ...
