Using simple components such as oil, salt water, lipids and proteins, plus routine genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to create simple nanofluidic ...

Building simple circuits with copper tape, LED bulbs, resistors, and watch batteries is not as simple as you might think. Notre Dame Elementary School STEM students are putting the engineering design ...

Over the last couple of decades the use of rechargeable batteries has grown enormously, and for most common applications there are ASICs[1] which control battery management with very little additional ...

This Design Idea employs the Microchip PIC10F222 single-chip microcontroller. You program this microcontroller’s internal memory using the MCLR pin. As the title, “Use the MCLR pin as an output with ...

In the ongoing drive to make circuitry ever smaller and more powerful, researchers in Canada have taken things to a very small extreme. They devised a method for turning individual silicon atoms into ...

Low-power circuits commonly use transformerless power supplies. However, the use of earth grounds in many of these circuits creates a serious problem that is often ignored. The very popular Microchip ...

Simple neural circuits composed of two interacting populations of neurons exhibit a remarkable capacity to accommodate multiple nonlinear resonances organized in stunningly diverse and intriguing ...
