Researchers have developed a technique that could improve the reliability and manufacturability of ICs.

Engineers and a semiconductor manufacturer are developing an energy-harvesting radio that could transmit data without ever needing a change of batteries.

Researchers have developed a type of small-scale electric power generator able to produce alternating current through the cyclical stretching and releasing of zinc oxide wires encapsulated in a flexible plastic substrate with two ends bonded.

University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and physicists have developed a method of measuring how strain affects thin films of silicon that could lay the foundation for faster flexible electronics.

As one of the biggest electronics shows in Asia, attendees were able to see the latest developments and equipment on broadband, RFID, componentry and photovoltaic devices at more than 1260 stands at two locations within the capital city.

Imagine windows that not only provide a clear view and illuminate rooms, but also efficiently help power the building. MIT engineers report a new approach to harnessing the sun's energy that could allow just that.

The data logger has been around for hundreds of years, evolving from an assistant with paper and pencil to the technology-packed, automated products that they can be today. Much like hammers are tools to carpenters, data loggers are tools to scientists, engineers and anyone else working in a measurement environment.

The electronics design industry, while always in a state of evolution, is currently undergoing a fundamental change that's profoundly affecting what products we can create and how they are created.

Monash University scientists in Melbourne have designed a new form of fuel cell that could make the latest generation of hybrid vehicles more reliable and cheaper.

The odds that the quantum computer will be built of silicon have increased now that researchers from the Centre for Quantum Computer Technology (CQCT) have announced recently invented technology.

Researcher Srinivas Vanapalli has investigated the possibilities for the extreme cooling of electronic components at a chip level.

Regarding safety, choosing a multimeter is like choosing a motorcycle helmet – if you have a 'ten-dollar' head, choose a 'ten-dollar' helmet. If you value your head, get a safe helmet. The same applies to multimeters – if you value your life, choose one that protects you accordingly. So, as long as you choose a multimeter with a high enough voltage rating, you're safe, right? Not exactly.

European researchers have taken a step towards the goal of developing printable electronics that can be used for creating radiofrequency identification tags and flexible watch displays.

A researcher at the University of Southampton has developed a self-powered sensor to monitor progress during knee operations.

During the design and production of electronic products, complex circuitry or subsystems need to be tested and often require additional signals from a missing or difficult-to-obtain component or sensor.
