New research reveals why the ‘supermaterial’ graphene has not transformed electronics as promised, and shows how to double its performance and finally harness its...
By using light waves instead of electric current to transmit data, photonic chips (circuits for light) have advanced fundamental research in many areas from...
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have devised a new way of providing cooling on a hot, sunny day, using inexpensive materials and...
Process of capturing and reproducing realistic, real-world objects for any virtual environment is complex and time-consuming. Imagine using a conventional camera with a built-in...
Japanese computer scientists have developed a special purpose computer that can project high-quality three-dimensional (3D) holography as video. The research team led by Tomoyoshi...
Thyristor / SCR
Thyristor (often called as a Silicon Controlled Rectifier, SCR) – a semiconductor, bistate (on, off) electronic component. Its principle of operation resembles...
Researchers from the University of Houston have created an inexpensive way of detecting dangerous levels of lead in tap water below the safety threshold...
