For the first time, researchers have developed crystalline materials that allow an optical fiber to have integrated, high-speed electronic functions. The potential applications of such optical fibers ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the future, wearable electronics will go far beyond just very small electronic devices. Not only will such devices be embedded on textile substrates, but an electronics device ...

Scientists have developed a self-healing, recyclable circuit board using vitrimer and liquid metal. The material maintains conductivity after damage, reshapes under heat, and may reduce growing ...

Electronic materials have been a major stumbling block for the advance of flexible electronics because existing materials do not function well after breaking and healing. A new electronic material ...

Small-signal analysis of switching dc-dc converters determines their specific transfer functions, for example, for stability analysis or design of a proper input filter. Transfer functions of interest ...

A new technique has been developed that encases semiconductor devices inside microstructured optical fibers. This fusion of the two separate technologies opens the possibility of truly rapid and ...
