An engineer has assembled the most complex logic circuit yet assembled in a single bacterium. The logic circuit, in which genes and the molecules that turn the genes on or off function as logic gates, ...

This is going to be a column that’s divided into three sections. It’s based on a question that a student posed in the EEWeb forums, and he also sent it directly to yours truly. The core of this ...

Researchers at Manchester University in the UK have used graphene to make a new electrically-controlled switching device that supports both memory and logic functions. The device, which exploits ...

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is actually an “industrial computer” that can work stably in complex environments. It can process switching signals, digital signals, analog signals, etc. from ...

Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you’ve spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three: capacitor, ...

We are somewhat spoiled because electronics today are very reliable compared to even a few decades ago. Most modern electronics obey the bathtub curve. If they don’t fail right away, they won’t fail ...
