As in any other engineering activity, the design of semiconductor chips (ICs) encompasses several separate, but often closely coupled, design activities. Today's system-on-a-chip (SoC) development ...

It was late Sunday evening, and we were still trying to trace why the embedded DSL modem was feeding a strange 50-MHz carrier into the network—much stronger than –40-dB noise allows. And no 50-MHz ...

Quantum metals are metals where quantum effects—behaviors that normally only matter at atomic scales—become powerful enough ...

Every hospital shelf and pharmacy counter depends on an invisible global current, the pharmaceutical supply chain. Yet this ...

The handedness or “chirality” of electrons affects how current flows in graphene transistors, according to new work done by researchers in the UK and Russia. The team’s findings could help to make ...

Shini explores electric current, voltaic cells, and how we get electric charge. Electric current works like a river... kinda... Instead of flowing based on elevation ...

A rip current is a fast-moving channel of water that pulls out to sea. They can be deadly, but here's what you should do if ...
