When making decisions and judgments, humans can fall into common "traps," known as cognitive biases. A cognitive bias is ...

Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon-based quantum processors to make future quantum computers more affordable, ...

In any racing environment, we all want to go fast, but one of the key elements to carrying speed is the methods in which we slow down. Enter the Brake Bias, the setting on the car in which you decide ...

I presented in a previous tutorial how to reconstruct a complex field using a camera and a plane wave reference tilted with respect to the optical axis, known as off-axis holography. This works ...

Over on his YouTube channel [Aaron Danner] explains biasing transistors with current sources in the 29th video of his Transistors Series. In this video, he shows how to replace a bias resistor (and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Computing systems have made impressive progress, but they still fall short when compared to the human brain’s energy efficiency and adaptability. Biological neurons handle complex ...

Ever since the development of the first working transistors in 1947, the electronics industry has experienced tremendous growth in numerous ways. For instance, transistors allowed for the ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

All thermal anemometers work by inferring air speed from measurements of thermal impedance (Z) between a heated sensor and the surrounding air: An example of the constant power type can be found in ...

Adjustable bias generation First, let’s describe PA biasing with an adjustable gate voltage. To deliver more than 40 dBm (10 W) output power, the circuit needs a high breakdown transistor. This helps ...
