Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...

Electromagnetic waves with frequencies between microwave and infrared light, also known as terahertz radiation, are leveraged ...

A diode design can make terahertz signals stronger & work better, helping build smaller devices for imaging, sensing, and wireless communication.

If you cultivate an interest in building radios it’s likely that you’ll at some point make a simple receiver. Perhaps a ...

The new Schottky barrier diode helps protect image sensors from damage, even when they're powered off, from sunlight.

Now, to use the height hold mode, make sure to select the height hold mode in the Assist mode dropdown menu. You can set your ...

A simple way to stabilize the operating temperature of any components that need it. Part 1 shows the purely analog approach, ...

With a 4k1 collector resistor and 16mA drive into the led, the chosen (read ‘cheapest on ebay’) 6N135 is supposed to beat 1.5μs for both turn on and turn off, with typical figures of 90ns and 800ns.

That means inside every LED bulb are tiny circuit components -- and their soldered contact points -- which are far more vulnerable than the diode itself. The Lighting Research Center of the Rensselaer ...

For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into ...

I talked with Dr. Sebastian Bauer, CEO at Ubicept, about the company’s flexible light acquisition and representation engine ...

In his home laboratory, Phil – a high school chemistry teacher who also runs a YouTube science channel – discovered that a simple solar panel can ...
