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, ...

Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge ...

In the early digital era, logic gates were made exclusively of transistors and discrete components. The obvious occupation of a large space and increased heat dissipation pushed technology to ...

Flexible three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) enable high-density interconnects, miniaturization, and multifunctionality. Unlike rigid circuits, flexible 3D ICs can conform to various ...

Stefan Preble, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering, concluded a 10-week online course on fabless design of photonic integrated circuits (PIC-1) within the AIM ...

The miniaturization of electronic systems and the diffusion of components that generate a lot of heat make the role of thermal analysis more and more important as a tool to guarantee the good ...

What are HVICs? High-voltage integrated circuits (HVICs) translate low-voltage control signals to levels that are suitable for driving power switches in high-voltage applications. HVICs also can ...

For years I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around how silicon chips actually work. How does a purposefully contaminated shard of glass wield control over electrons? Every once in a while, someone ...

The secrets of the tiniest active structures in integrated circuits can be revealed using a non-destructive imaging technique, scientists show. New research has demonstrated that the secrets of the ...
