The size of a single biological cell (approximately 10 microns across), a hybrid micro-robot was created by researchers at Tel Aviv University. It can be…

Galvanic isolation is a principle of isolating functional sections of electrical systems to prevent current flow; no direct conduction path is permitted. It is a…

An opto-isolator (also called an optocoupler, photocoupler, or optical isolator) is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits by using light.…

Electrical engineers and material scientists from UCR demonstrated a scientific breakthrough that could lead to significant improvements in computer, optical, and electrical technology. The research…

Perovskite solar cells are a type of photovoltaic (PV) technology that uses perovskite materials as the active layer to convert sunlight into electricity. With their…

A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) or integrated optical circuit (IOC) is a microchip that contains two or more photonic components that work together to form…

Electromagnetic suspension (EMS) is the magnetic levitation of an object achieved by using a feedback loop to constantly change the strength of a magnetic field…

The generation of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field is known as magnetic induction. The interaction of electric…

The impedance analogy is a method of representing a mechanical system with an electrical system that is analogous. The concept of using an electrical analogy…

Although American microchip manufacturing facilities can fit billions of data processing transistors onto a tiny silicon chip, a crucial component, essentially a “clock,” that is…

Through the middle of the century, as vehicle electrification picks up speed and nations try to cut greenhouse gas emissions, there will be a sharp…

Heat engines use ignition systems to start combustion by igniting the fuel-air mixture. It is a critical component of an internal combustion engine that initiates…
