[Danko]’s minimal circuit is about as small as possible for the DIP version of the venerable 555 chip. The BOM is stripped to the bone: just the chip, three resistors, a capacitor, and an LED.

A bare chip that is mounted directly onto the printed circuit board (PCB). After the wires are attached, a glob of epoxy or plastic is used to cover the chip and its connections. The tape ...

Millions of tons of hard-to-recycle electronic circuit boards are burned or end up in landfills—a replacement based on leaf ...

The Biden administration's investigation, reported by the New York Times, could lead to tariffs or import bans.

One of the key elements of Apple’s A-series and M-series chips is the System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design which tightly integrates ...

As demand for next-generation semiconductor chips grows, a team of researchers has succeeded in laser-drilling the world's tiniest circuit board holes, measuring a near-inconceivable 3 micrometers ...

Of course, the main attraction of “leaftronics” is its ability to break down after it’s been used. Science reports that the team can successfully remove metals and circuitry by placing this leaf-based ...

Optical fibers carry voice and data at high speeds across long distances, and IBM Research scientists are bringing this speed ...
