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

Abstract: This paper proposes a solid-state circuit breaker comprising silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and a SiC diode, based on the principle of avalanche voltage clamping. The key challenge in ...

Abstract: Frequency doubling was achieved by the approximately parabolic characteristic of the tunnel-diode voltage-current characteristic. This circuit compensates for distortion and stabilizes bias ...

This video explains how semiconductors work and how their electrical properties are controlled using band gaps and doping.

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

Each pixel they made measures 300 by 300 nm, which is smaller than the width of a human hair, yet emits orange light as ...

The numbers you see on the box don't always work out in real life. LED bulbs do last longer, but those claims about five to 10 years are estimates based on internal testing -- and companies are always ...

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 ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

Smart glasses that display information directly in the field of vision are considered a key technology of the future—but until now, their use has often failed due to cumbersome technology. However, ...

A team of physicists has pushed the limits of how small a display pixel can be, revealing a new approach that could reshape ...

Methods 40 schizophrenic young soldiers and 1346 recruits were tested with 3 validity scale and 8 clinical scale of MMPI. The ...
