A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...

The prototype, described as a nanostructured “active metamaterial,” was made from silver and an atomically thin semiconductor ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...

The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

A fully functional, fast switching and printable transistor in cheap plastic has just been invented. A fully functional, fast switching and printable transistor in cheap plastic is invented by ...

Have you ever heard of topological insulators? These are exotic materials where electricity flows only on the surface with very little loss. Now, according to IEEE Spectrum, scientists at Harvard have ...

The transistor and the PWM-switch, the core circuit of power converters, have interesting analogs. Both have three terminals, hence three configurations. They are active devices, and each has a key ...
