An optocoupler tester is a small device that helps verify whether an optocoupler is functioning properly or has failed. In labs and repair work, optocouplers often fail without clear signs. They may ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

Accurately measuring small shifts in biological markers, like proteins and neurotransmitters, or harmful chemicals in the water supply, can identify critical problems before they have a chance to ...

Tiny electronic devices, called microelectronics, may one day be printed as easily as words on a page, thanks to new research from scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National ...

An archaic DieHard device has seemingly died hard; is hacking it to resurrect a portion of its original function a worthwhile endeavor?

AI data centers are starting to replace copper with co-packaged optics in an effort to reduce energy consumed per bit and ...

Engineers leverage both device-specific and tool-level data to identify a process “sweet spot.” Tight, frequent tool-to-tool matching enables greater yield and fab flexibility. Machine learning helps ...

A DIY PCB fixture using split-Kelvin technique enables accurate, repeatable LCR measurements for low-impedance SMD components ...

It’s called NanoFab Reflection. It’s expected to cost $614 million to build and is part of a $10 billion computer chip research center plan announced by Gov. Kathy Hochul in December 2023.

The ‘nanometer’ number in chip manufacturing refers to the size of the smallest parts, like transistor gates. A 5nm process ...

Tired of condensation wrecking your shed tools or greenhouse gear? I built a no-frills ESP32 + DHT22 node that wakes every 15 minutes, grabs temp/humidity data, beams it over Wi-Fi, and sleeps—running ...
