Magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) is a memory technology that can potentially replace today's semiconductor memory technologies. The increasing capability of electronic devices is driving a growing need for increased memory performance

Arc faults within low voltage (LV) switchgear have been potentially life threatening for many years. But in 1996, users were presented with a new standard of safety

University of Utah physicists have taken an important step towards a new generation of faster, cheaper computers and electronics by building the first 'organic spin valves'

Philips has reached the milestone of 100,000 patents.

Intel has identified new materials to replace those that have been used to manufacture chips for more than 30 years. This is a significant accomplishment as the industry races to reduce electrical current leakage in transistors

Engineers at Ohio State University have looked at the interface between layers of silicon and other materials in electronic devices. What they have learned may help traditional microelectronics remain vital to industry longer than most experts expect

One of the most remarkable and novel discoveries in the last 400 years has been electricity. You may ask, "Has electricity been around that long?" The answer is yes, and perhaps much longer

The worldwide pressure to move away from traditional lead-containing solders has resulted in some intriguing differences of philosophy and approach around the world, which were highlighted during a recent British fact-finding mission to Japan

The ever-increasing demand for distribution of more channels is resulting in pushing the upper limits of coaxial cable usage to 1000 MHz

Physicists have discovered a mechanism that forces sharp edges on the surface of a silicon crystal to become rounded, and have described this rounding in detail for the first time

A breakthrough discovery by DSTO scientists will have a significant impact on future technology in many areas of sensing and communications

Silicon, one of the base elements of our planet, is the foundation of the modern information society. Modern electronics would be unthinkable without the development of silicon transistors

In the future, the use of quantum dots as light-emitting phosphors may represent a major application of nanotechnology

Troubleshooting the electrical service feeding adjustable speed motor loads can be difficult if you don't have the right tools. New solid state motor drives and heating controls often conduct non-sinusoidal (distorted) current

When the lights go out, chances are good that emergency crews will use vinyl electrical tape somewhere to help restore power. The same electricians might also use it to secure a broken latch on a lunch box
